As the adults were absolutely shattered today, we had a quiet day in. Of course, this meant that the children haven’t stopped all day 😉 There has been copious art, in the form of the magic blo pen set I brought with me, (half price in Big W if anyone is interested), baking, singing, dancing, documentaries about crocodiles, out door play, indoor play, lots of playing with maths shapes, drawing, eating, and we even cleaned most of the children tonight (Small fell asleep in the high chair, so escaped his bath).
His achievement of the day was to become independent as far as bananas are concerned – extremely independent in fact, in that he went and helped himself to one, sat down, opened it and peeled it. Big can’t always peel her own even now! Had to laugh.
Big is having a fantastic time here – she seems to get on great with all of Alison’s children (or as much as you can expect any children to get on anyway) so she was a bit unhappy to hear we’re going home tomorrow. Given that we’ve plans to be off and around the country for the next couple of weeks though, I think she’ll get over it…

Well done Small with the bananas – more useful than chucking kiwi fruit 🙂
well as someone who struggles even now with ‘nanas unpeeling at 30 I am impressed!
I’m most impressed that you manage to blog and wash when away from home! I achieved bathing all today! I tend to forget. Trying to decide between a Derby HE group party (1st time) or cleaning the animals out tomorrow!

Hmm, nanas. Combination locked so you need a knife to get in one withour seriously squishing the end! Well done small
Well, the anticipated arrival of Big is very popular here :~)
Jax – just call me if you want to meet up in York any day. The second week in Oct is all possible atm.
Hey, Joyce, if i could time this baby right, i might be able to persuade you down to meet it!!!
Aww glad you’ve all had a good time! London sounded fab!
You certainly could. No pressure, but you’ve got about 10-12 days, and then I could come down before I go home. Or, you could come to me (tee hee) the second week when I am sans visitors. Nothing like a long trip away from home to get things moving, I would think. And remember, I *have* delivered a baby before.
Chuckle…. you want me to descend on you with potentially 4 children? Or three and a bump? Actually, i could handle you delivering my baby, that would be fine :~)
Hmmm – it’s been a long time – I could catch it still, no problem, but not sure I’d be up for any of the fancy stuff. I do a good line in being sworn at for 12 hours solid though….:-)
12 hours solid?????
Eek, think I’d seriously run out of puff if I tried swearing for that long. 😉
Joyce, mailed you about York.
Given that my husband has just informed me he IS gonig away after all, i’m quite willing to give the swearing a go :~(
