Battery flat AGAIN!

All plans for today went right out the window this morning, when Florian came back in (having said good bye a couple of minutes earlier), and said "the car won't start, I'm taking yours!" And he was gone! In a very BIG hurry as he had a train to catch!
Well I had planned on another trip to Opel's to pick up the winter tyres, but that wasn't going to happen, cause there was no way I could get it all sorted in time. So I got the boys up as normal, we walked to Kindergarden (car wasn't working), then once back, I AGAIN knocked on my neighbours door for some help charging the battery! I don't know what I would do without him!
I checked the lights inside the car again, and Robert had once again, switched his light on, and left it on! And it had been on since Saturday morning, so no wonder it was flat the battery!

It is all better now, thank goodness, and I am going to find a way to tape up the light button, so that our little Mr Man, cannot do it again!

One good thing came out of it, I managed to sound stressed enough on the phone to Opel's that they will let my brother come and get the tyres for me! Thank goodness for that, that saves me 240km of driving!
This afternoon we spent in the garden again, it wasn't quite as sunny as the past two days, but still very nice. Then it was bath time, as we had to clean up Robert's legs and toes. He has a REAL boys legs now, scrapes, grazes on both knees and all of his toes. Riding his Bobby car with sandals on is NOT a good idea - but what would Mummy know!

The chickens have settled in very well now, one of the old ones is boss, and she lets the others know it sometimes, but all in all they seem to be getting along fine. They are certainly laying well! 5 eggs today! Yummy, yummy!

Bye 4 now

The story about Robert's legs is SO recognizable. I can just imagine. "What would mummy know"... lol
Well: "Mother knows best!" but it seems no kid ever wants to believe it on forehand.
