Teens

Miss Teen and DGD(#4) are staying for a few days.   

We've set up the Summerhouse (which has air conditioning) into their den. This gives them their own space, away from us, to do Teen stuff.      There is a Sky box thing out there, and a projector screen, so it feels a bit special (although we don't have any premium channels, so it's not that exxciting).

Yesterday I dtopped them at a major supermarket with quite a clot of cash. They had instructions oto buy stuff for their lunches (as DH and I don't have lunch),   plus snacks, drinks and treats.  They could havw whatever they wanted, no judgement.

They were shocked at how much the spent, so that was quite a good learning.   

On the way home, I asked if they'd got the banans and strawberries they had wanted to have with their choc spread Crimputs.  They had forgotten (although DGD had bought carrot sticks as a snack, do kudos to her and her mum!).  They had also forgottne the apple juice they wanted. And the marshmallows.  But they told me they were happy to pop to the CoOp later.

They wnt off to the park to play tennis and stuff.  And later, they played themselveds silly with Swingball (or CrzyBall as Miss Teen calls it,  Whackaball as DGD calls it).

We had home made pasta (the first version of which was a disaster, my fault) for dinner. More Gerald/Geralina/Geraldine (temporary name for Swingball).   And then they were in their den watching films.

We're off to do Mini Golf today.
