What a day!!

Friday.... Milly slept until 7am.... good start. After that it was harsh lesson in what it´s like to be at home with a baby. We had a surprise visit just after 7am.... some guys arrived to start stripping the paint from the outside of our house, we thought they were coming next week. They added to the days excitement by first of all complaining that the water pressure wasn´t good enough. It´s handy that I always have some extra water pressure up my sleeve!! Eventually we `stole´some from the neighbours by connecting up to their outside tap. (Fortunately they were fine about the whole thing). After doing the big shop along with all the old age pensioners in the area I had to rush back to connect up the power supply for the workers. Kristoffer arrived after 1pm and we made our way out to Spydeberg (about 40 minutes away) to pick up a couple of canoes for a stag weekend. Milly slept on the way but howled for about 20 minutes on the way home..... that was a joy. After a couple of nappy changes I noticed that water from the high pressure water sprayer being used to strip the paint outside was leaking into the bathroom..... so I spent some time mopping up whilst changing the nappy. After that there was one more leak into the bedroom and another trip out to drop off the canoe. Kim and Kristin had arrived for dinner at around 6pm.......
Today we´ve had Miss Grumpy to deal with. This afternoon nothing was right. We hope that this is temporary and a good night´s sleep followed by a nice calm day tomorrow will do the trick..... if it´s not Daddy will probably age about 20 years during the next 6 weeks!!
