[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 45048, member: 1991"] G'day, all. Sharon, it sounds like you need more sleep - trying to save time, showering in your PJs? As for t he rest of you not liking cicadas - they're the sound of an Aussie summer, the rhythmic throb of cicadas in the summer heat... I used to collect the spent nymph shells and wear them on my t-shirt - if you squeeze them gently the legs spread slightly, then hold them that way against your shirt and let go, the legs spring back and they grip. You can paint the shells, too with acrylics - the kids can have fun! A good holiday activity. Get them to make scenes from Shakespeare, with painted cicada shells as characters in a diorama. After you give them that little holiday activity suggestion, they'll never complain to you about being bored again (they won't dare). Mind you, I never liked it when the adults flew into my hair - they get stuck and they're really noisy as they screech, if they're that close. We used to swap them, at school - the different varieties; the floury baker, the cherry nose, the green grocer and the fabled black prince. LDM, that mound of waffles sounds really yummy. I hope the kids enjoy the river. TM, those allergies don't sound good. Break out the antihistamines! We got difficult child 3 to do his art work today for his next worksheets - he's done the practical now, he can do the write-up on Monday morning. We'll actually be out on Monday, have to take the family bus to the service centre. easy child 2/difficult child 2 wants to take our little bus (21 years old and going really well) to the service centre/car yard and see what they offer for a trade-in - not that we'd ever trade that perfect thing in, our local mechanic is in love with our little bus and would never forgive us! Have a good Saturday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
