Despite having 13 different beds/mattresses
for people to sleep on, the 7 kids managed to use only 2 single beds for the
night! The 3 older girls slept in one bed, and Millie and the 3 boys in
another. They all seemed pretty happy (although a bit uncomfortable) and we
thought it was quite funny.
During the day the kids continued playing
in and outside. They watched a movie and L and I sat out the front and had a
cup of tea and a good chat. The older girls did a lot of sewing, making bags
and pillows and doll’s clothes. Millie had been given a teddy by the girls, and
they made clothes for it out of scraps – it looks amazing. The girls also
curled each other’s hair and did make up on each other.
In the afternoon the 3 boys went in to the
city as one of them has been cast in a commercial and needed to get fitted for
his outfit. They took the scooters and rode for a while in Centennial park and
climbed the fig trees, then called in to see a friend before going to the
wardrobe call. In the meantime the girls kept sewing and played the Wii for a
while, and curled my hair (which looked a bit ridiculous but was fun for all of
us). I took one of the girls to dancing, and then the 3 remaining girls and I
went shopping for more groceries (7 kids are eating a fair amount of food
between them!). We took our time shopping which Millie liked, she could play on
the rides and look at things in windows etc. We came home and did more sewing
and played on iPads etc. The others got home around 9, and we organized the mattresses
so that everyone could sleep in the one room without all having to sleep in the
same bed. We two mums again went to bed before everyone else, but they settled
down pretty quickly.
