Tim and I both snoozed til 11, then he got up and left me to snooze some more. Don’t know why we both needed so much sleep, I don’t think we were particularly late to bed after CSI watching last night. So a slow start to the afternoon for me – the job and the commute is taking so much out of me during the week that sleeping through half the weekend only just puts me back on my feet 🙁
Spent some time on specialised reading materials for Small – signed up at the marvel site to look at the free digital comics. He didn’t go at them quite the way I’d imagined – for some reason he suspends all disbelief when it’s moving pictures on a screen, but comics needed to make sense. So I found myself explaining werewolves and Americanisms such as ‘Strike one!’
Big painted their faces again – she bought herself a Snazaroo – Face Paints – Party Pack Face Painting Kit
last weekend (or, more accurately, gave me the money to order it online so that she would get a parcel). So yesterday he had a design of his own adorning him, and she tried twice to make herself look like what she wanted before giving up, while today he was a dalmatian.
She’s also spent a lot of time playing online games today – I’m sure this is good for something, although the jury is still out on what precisely. Small has watched an ordinate amount of tv and been frayed around the edges, we’ve had several unexpected crying outbursts and he isn’t usually a child that cries. Mind, I was quite surprised at the state of his finger (it’s been under a plaster following a peeling incident at school) so not that odd that he wept a little. I’m hoping that some air to it tonight at it will stop looking quite so shrivelled – I hadn’t realised that the blue plaster from school was quite that impervious to the air.
They are in the bath now, and I will be going out to collect our biweekly fish and chips treat. Feel slightly guilty doing so, given previous posts on the topic, but we eat less that one fish a week in this family – not sure giving it up entirely would dent supply sufficiently to make any government rein in the fishermen. I hate feeling this utterly powerless.
