As I'd anticipated, the Boy didn't make it through last night's sleepover. In fact sleep didn't even get a look in. He changed his mind and bailed out. Luckily he decided to do this at bedtime - packed up his bag and announced he was going home - so neither his hosts nor his parents actually lost any sleep because of it.
He rejoined his buddy today (no hard feelings) for a swimming outing. The Man did some more trail blazing at school this morning (heavy duty stuff this time, hacking out a new trail), then went to mow in our own yard this afternoon. The Girl had fun at her friend's house, then had more fun at her final Brownie event - she has now 'flown up' to Junior Girl Scouts.
And I've mostly been sorting and tidying and hoovering, though like the weeds in the yard, mess in our house has a rampant life of its own: turn your back on a nice tidy room for more than a minute and you can guarantee that someone will find something to discard in the middle of it - and then before you know it a whole load more mess will have rushed in to keep it company.
