Well.. having more free time hasnt open the blogging flood gates here at Lessthanfour.  Not for me anyway.  Turns out that the "more free time" was just an illusion anyway.  My new job is starting to wear a bit thin, especially considering the pay cut I had to take to get there.

Apart from that I've had an extra long weekend with the kids so I'm feeling pretty content.  The boys were given a taste of some independence and were allowed to ride their bikes to the corner shop and back.  It only took them about twenty minutes but I think I developed an ucler large enough to take out a buffalo.  Their mission?  To buy ingredients to bake cookies and chocloate.  I gave them enough money to leave town, a mobile phone, a shopping list, a "rules" list and strapped a video camera to one of their backpacks to record the whole thing.  I was nervous okay.  In the end they made it back fine and now they want to do everything by themselves, which is kinda cool.

Don't ask how I got to be baking cookies, I know that's not exactly an extreme sport or anything.  Lets just say, everything turned out just fine in the end and that the fire brigade agrees.  Can they really ban me from cooking?
