I was busy cooking spaghetti in the kitchen. When it was cooked, I called them to collect their plates and go outside where they were to eat it without knives or forks. The boys wandered into the kitchen and stared at the plates with spaghetti and a tomato/onion/bacon sauce on it. One brave boy asked me "what is that stuff on the pasta?".... 4 out of the 5 boys asked for spaghetti without anything on it! They then happily went and ate it without the help of "instruments".
For breakfast, I had made bran/fruit muffins. When I looked at the table, there were 4 abandoned plates, each with a muffin that had had a single tiny bite taken out of it. One boy was bravely wading through his muffin, picking out all the fruit....
It was a calmer sleep over than last year, but still difficult for the adult on duty (Arthur) who had to try and get them to go to sleep as close to midnight as possible.
