Monster Mom

During school this morning, I got up to put fabric softener in the washing machine while the boys were busy with writing practice, and found a foam monster mask we had made a few weeks ago sitting on top of the tumble dryer. I put it on and went roaring into the diningroom. The boys screamed and looked so terrified, that I nearly fell on the floor laughing.

Our water is finally running clear again, after a long time of brown water. It’s not very appealing stepping into a bath filled with off-coloured water, much better to have it smelling of chlorine. Unfortunately, there have been chlorine shortages, so the pool has not been supplied with its needed quota, and is completely green. It’s actually been closed for over a month now. A pity, because going to the pool was one of the few family activities we could do together! But we are thankful that we can drink the water from the taps, anyhow.
