I am a teacher but have decided this year should take a slower pace than last year, that I should take time to appreciate life, so how better than to document it in photos!

Day 18 How to get a child out of the house pt 1

Today I had a fairly busy day going here and there. I also tried to structure my day so that I could taxi Illi to an outing she was to attend. Unfortunately she decided not to meet up with the group of girls but I am still yet to hear a reasonable excuse as to why. So far these holidays, neither Illi nor Declan have done much at all, preferring to play with their computers or watch tv than step foot outside. So today I used one of my back up tempters to get Illi out of the house. She made a comment yesterday that she had NOTHING to read (hmmm…I seem to remember a child who got 2 new bookcases for Christmas, who had no trouble filling them!) so I said that I was going to the library and that if she didn’t come, there was no way that I was going to be at all sympathetic to her “nothing to read” whinge!
The above photo is our much loved library bag with my books and Illi's DVD still in it, Illi has already taken her pile of books and is working her way through them. I have a feeling she will be in trouble for not turning her light out at a decent time tonight!
