@Matt what did you do?

The kids were gone is my guess

[Matt]

Laid in bed for 2 days hiding from my kids eating their Easter candy and watching Netflix on the iPad.

Once the postpartum dust settles I'll form a gameplan

[Matt]

Ooh. Best of luck to you both.

[GraemeE]

I might just punch myself in the dick repeatedly to see if I can diy it

It would be a good distraction as well

First stomach bug from nursery. Thanks Baby H.

Cheesed off that all she had was a couple of pukes and one bad nappy. Mrs H dodged it entirely (for now...?). I get to spend yesterday in bed with aches, a fever, sweats, and the other fun that comes with a stomach bug. Doesn't seem fair.

Katie and the kids used to get sick for 2ish days. I was down for 2ish weeks. Every time.

I was a bit lost this morning with what to do with my 4 1/2 year old son, with the wife needing to catch up on some work.
Ended up printing out one of these free forestry hunt sheets from the net - 4 hours later and I’m not sure where the time has gone! Turns out there a lots of these types of ‘check list’ children’s pdfs online for free covering various topics and themes.

Absolutely freezing outside so we were both layered up to the hills; but I always think the cold weather makes coming back home so much nicer and instils that sense of gratitude in him of actually having a warm home to come back to.

The sheet (crosses and ticks both permitted apparently)

Looking for insects under a rock

Of course the opportunity to layer up some IH (295, 293, 888, M51)

Chilling by the lake (those two Canadian Geese were aptly named Mr. Wet and Mr. Angry - they are clearly used to being fed and weren’t happy that we weren’t feeding them!)

Interesting/thought-provoking sign on a big old tree

The only present that my wife requested today for Mother’s Day…. Child-free time

Anyone ever thrown their kid’s phone in a lake?

[long_john86]

Haha I shudder at the thought of the day when my son is old enough to want a phone 🫠

How was your throw - did it get far?

[scarfmace]

This is a fact!

[SKT]

@long_john86 haven’t done it yet but the time is nigh

[Brian]

just started our lad this school term doing Chinese classes one afternoon after school and he's starting football ( soccer) and basketball, which is all costing extra but not as much as the OHSC fees were, just love how I seem to work full time for nothing with all the fees and charges he racks up for me

[Matt]

When Katie went back to work and the girls started going to daycare we broke even. Fucking ridiculous.

[long_john86]

Channelling the sentiment of @SKT earlier post… anyone ever thrown their kid in a lake?

Been one of those days/weekends….
