What day is it again?

We are rapidly sliding into what passes for routine at our place. Chris and the girls went to Faithfest over the weekend which will go down in history as the one where attendees were thoroughly cleansed and then blown dry! Despite the extremely wet and windy weather, the event went well, good numbers and they managed to hand on to all the tents, although Chris was up at all hours tying things down, I gather.
The girls have been challenged to keep on top of their homework with a weekend away. We are also looking forward to hosting a Japanese student for 3 weeks, which will also challenge them to share a room while Erica is with us.
Zachary didn't play cricket on Saturday but he wasn't too sad as he had a birthday party in the afternoon. The kids also had friends over on Sunday, as if they didn't see enough of them at school! We've also tried out Kiwi swim club, which will help the kids improve their swimming hugely. This is our Tuesday night activity for an hour, and while this addition hasn't met with universal approval, I am hoping it will pay off long term.
