Space party
it took longer than anticipated to finish off Tim’s costume and make Big’s though the constant interruptions and heckling from the offspring really didn’t help. So we set off about the time the party was due to start. Sigh. Still arrived with plenty of time to spend with friends though, so that was good 🙂…
swimming and wayside school.
We’ve got two more morning swimming lessons before it switches back to evenings, and I can hardly wait. Small is not a morning person. Well, I’m not a morning person either, but I don’t actually throw tantrums about it. Not that he was too horrendous – he does like his swimming lesson. Not sure how…
A little art appreciation in the morning.
It was the last day of the local art group’s art exhibition yesterday, so I decided that we were going to make it down there, and organised a family walk out. Beautiful weather – very sunny and hot again. Kids were slightly displeased about being dragged away from the ‘puter but not too grotty about…
Deliveries, friends and a trip to the beach.
Got up this morning to find two deliveries in the porch – maths books from Maths no problem and our new veg box from Abel and Cole. The veg box scared me slightly, so I left it in the kitchen while I hid behind a netbook, but the maths books went down really well with…
swimming, putering and HE courtesy of Tesco.
Swimming first thing this morning, which necessitated waking up Small and dragging him out of bed. Shouldn’t have bothered, as according to the leisure centre he doesn’t exist – there was no letter for him for his next block of lessons. Eventually got to the bottom of it with A the swimming lesson coordinator. Well,…
Autonomy and swine flu
Not directly connected 😉 For the rest of the week, Small amused himself on the computer mainly. Occasionally this was very irritating, depending on what website he chose to focus on, but most of the time, I could see pretty direct benefits, and he explored a lot of different things, including some excellent Lazy town…
Balloons, science and yet more putering.
Get the feeling that when Big gets back Small is going to go into serious computer withdrawal. Left to his own devices I think he would just educate himself entirely autonomously by exploring the internet until he understood it all. Anyway, we started out the morning by going to the doctors for Small’s follow up…
Swimming and MMORPG
Small spent most of Tuesday expanding his understanding of RPGs. Every now and then he needed to regroup and spent some time back with CBeebies, mainly on tikkabilla 🙂 He got lots out of fusion fall, and then eventually, I dragged him out of the house for his swimming lesson. That meant that we walked…
and so to the weekend
Saturday morning we re-tidied the children’s room, this time to the point that sufficient floor was found to hoover. Quite an achievement, although there was still the strip in between the beds covered in scraps of paper. Tim decided to take the kids out to Framlingham Castle, and I decided to stay at home to…
new crocs, new suntan lotion, more swimming and a book of lists
Small and I walked into town on our own on Tues morning, as he was in need of new crocs and new suntan lotion. He hadn’t told me that his previous crocs were too small, and I’d noticed when checking his legs over after the sunburn that he’d got small marks on his feet where…
