getting organised

hah! It’s more like yet another procrastination attempt 🙂

Anyway, I’ve just built a page on my affiliate links – dragging them all together in one place. This doesn’t mean I’ll stop sprinkling them throughout the daily story, but it does mean you’ll be able to find them at all times should you want to! If anyone wants to know how or why to play with them, do give me a yell, very happy to take ppl through it.

And while I was doing that, Tim was having yet more games of chess with Big. She has got the hang of all the pieces and how they move (actually, she’s known that for a while) so we’re now talking through strategy and planning. Today’s game lasted a lot longer than they usually do.

While they were doing that, Small was eating more weetabix and building a tree house. I love listening to his monologues while he’s playing – the imagination is incredible. Both my children live in a world populated by all sorts of wonderful creatures – and we see so much more of them when the tv is off. Sky went to sleep earlier today, such a shame, and the box has been off ever since. Not a bad thing.

And all of this was after I was brought brunch in bed. Croissants, a cup of tea, and a lovely long chat with my daughter. A good start to the day.

  1. Brunch? I assume you had a lie-in? 🙂 I wish I had have… The cat kept waking me up in the middle of the night and then the phone kept ringing this morning and it wasn’t for me!
    I love kids imaginations, if only we didn’t grow into adults!

  2. I had a fabulous lie in. Actually I’d just gotten up and started sorting out the washing when they arrived upstairs with my breakfast, so I had to leap back into bed fully clothed 🙂

  3. The sacrifices you make as a parent. 😉
