Going Off Grid Again!

It's been a quiet few days at home. Brendan seems to be doing well at school. We have gone through the routine 3 days now; "Nooooooo, I don't want to go to school, yearghhhhhhhhhhh"... wait 15 minutes... "Brendan's love the school bus, let's go". He has an book that he comes home with each day and the teacher hasn't written anything other than bland positive comments so far, so he can't be tearing the place apart too badly yet. The classroom has wooden trains; a blue engine to be exact, so I'm sure that goes a long way to keeping him happy. He read Goldilocks the first day and has been having fun roaring at us since!

We seem to be a calmer, happier family when we are out of the house (ie. not trying to fit in showers, laundry, paying bills etc.) so we've decided to go camping! We're off to Algonquin this afternoon with our old camper trailer complete with space heater, lights and kitchen table... so not really roughing it. The plan is to come home Saturday. We've got a lovely site just down from the water near a beach (very close to where we autumn camped last year), so we should have a nice view even if we never leave the trailer, which is pretty much the plan.

We'll be in touch after the weekend!!
