Jan suggested meeting at a local cinema to see The tale of Desperaux, which sounded like a good idea, so we did. It did of course mean that the one thing I’d planned for today, a library visit, only occurred as a hit and run – dash in, drop large pile of books on desk, dash out again – but I decided I could cope with that ;), and Big easily gave up the idea of craft kits when faced with the alternative of an afternoon with M and C.
Small didn’t want to go out to begin with, I can’t quite remember why. But he came around to the idea quite quickly and really enjoyed the film, even if he did talk all the way through it – sigh. Just as well we weren’t in some packed cinema somewhere, I guess cinema etiquette may be another item to add to the list of required educational targets 😉
After the film we retired to sotp homebase for soup, obviously 😀 The children ran off to do shouting and screaming which all seemed to go pretty well, and Jan dug out a pile of resources for our first project. We caught up on my last two months of bizarreness and played with my new toy some, while commiserating on relatives and christmas excesses. All in all, it was a very lovely day, here’s to many more of them.
