Most notably me and Small actually. In fact really only me and Small, think Big and Tim would probably be slightly agrieved if I said they were short tempered.
Small is being very three. This morning he belted Big over the head with his torch because she was pretending to be asleep on the stairs. He handed over the torch readily when I asked him to, and then wailed for several minutes about not having it. I confiscated Big’s as well because she knows better than to play on the stairs, and that caused more wailing from Small, as without a torch at all they couldn’t play secret homes. Ever get the feeling you just can’t win?
Lots of duplo and train track out all over the floor caused the next mega wailing fit as Small decided he didn’t want to help put it away. Ended up with him in his room as I couldn’t stand the noise Big put everything away without complaint, even stopping part way through to wash her hands so that she could help with kneading the pizza dough for tea. Forgot to say that she did her reading without any input from either of us this morning, think we can call that pretty much cracked now 
So while she was tidying I sat cutting pentagons out of cards so that we could make stained glass window Christmas cards, inspired by Rosie’s window decorations Big is now sitting sticking tissue paper to cards – I had no idea how many different wrong positions it was possible to put the glue in! Bite tongue, bite tongue – but I think I’m past that today.
Is it bedtime yet?

Yes, I’ve already read it. At melrose a couple of years ago, borrowed it off Jan. Maybe it’s time I refreshed my memory of it
It’s finally popped stack on Jan’s reading queue and the number of “aha” noises coming from her direction when she’s sat down reading a chapter is astounding
Yes, she said she was going to get around to reading it. I seem to remember similar aha moments, but I can’t really remember any of the answers
Answers? There are answers? Musn’t've got to that bit yet
