Cookbook correction

January 5, 2009 By 8 Comments

It’s this one: The Children’s Step-by-step Cook Book – I found it this morning in one of the stashes of stuff still unhomed after the christmas excess. She was very pleased to see it, but too busy making flowers to look through for a recipe for lunch, so I guess it’s sandwiches again. Small agreed [...]

A very quiet day

January 4, 2009 By 3 Comments

Today has been a very quiet day, not least because when I went to get up to sort out the table Small had “poured milk all over!”, I made it to the landing, grabbed my dressing gown off the rail and then fell over, very ungracefully and in slow motion, backwards, staggering back through the [...]

Defensive orgo planning

For pretty much as long as she has been able to talk, Big’s last question of the day has been “what are we doing tomorrow?” and my standard answer is “I don’t know yet”. I’m not a person who lives by plans, and my children are, so I figure that this time around with home [...]

Has been rather up and down. She seems somewhat emotional and confrontational atm, and I’ve been somewhat preoccupied with some work I needed to finish. It’s not a good combination Nevertheless, we’ve had some good times today. I particularly enjoyed setting her up on the laptop to work on some more programming with kpl, and [...]

And back in our world

April 18, 2005 By

hm, my blog appears to have disappeared under a welter of political links and news stories. Not quite sure how *that* happened. So what have we been doing? Well, took Small for his slightly belated MMR this morning – he was ever so good. I think he understands rather more than he lets on – [...]

Today is another day

April 1, 2005 By

And I’ve already had a thought provoking discussion with Tim about abortion and feminism, done some weaving with Big and a jigsaw with Small. Doesn’t sound like much I know, but I didn’t wake up til nearly 11 My body clock is completely out of whack with what the clocks on the wall are showing, [...]

The good, the bad and the downright ugly.

Good: Primary geography sparking off map activity this morning, lots of jigsaw activity for both of them, including the 20 Word Puzzles that we’ve had for ages (that’ll be a reading activity then), cooking tea together. Getting an hour on my own with Small in the library (aw, he took his book to the counter [...]

Reminding myself – well and truly edited now!

March 10, 2005 By

to blog about these things tomorrow. Small and birds, cats, dogs and ppl. Small likes animals. He quite likes ppl, but he is squealingly happy to see animals. We walked to the post office on Weds (posted the Hesfes form, yippee!) and every few steps he would stop, smiling, to point at a cat, or [...]

Shh….

don’t disturb him! He’s only sitting quietly doing a jigsaw all by himself for the very first time (one of those peg board ones, think I got it for £1 at Hesfes last year!) Of course, the flash of the camera disturbed him, and there seem to be some pieces missing, so I don’t think [...]
