A good note...
Gareth came home from school last week with a small crumpled post-it note. He held it tight in his hand and walked slowly up the driveway looking down at his feet. I could see he was fighting back a grin and so I played along.
"Mum, I've got some news from school. It's not so good"
"The school excursion helpers got pulled from a hat today......"
He looked slowly up at me
"...and you DID GET PICKED!"
He grinned from ear to ear and I pretended to be shocked and convinced that he was going to tell me I had not been chosen.
The excursion is tomorrow and we both can't wait!

You children are as clever as you are!! Have fun! Thanks for your sweet words!
Ha ha. He pulled a Joey on the show Friends, like when he pretends to be sad he didn't get the part!
