    {riding} a bike. I staggered out of bed earlier than I needed to be up to get Big to cadets D of E, and as I met her in the kitchen she said – go look at the sky. So I did, and then I went back inside, asked to borrow her bike, and peddled…

    {watching} Bandits (amazon link). We had dinner before film, and the little ones went to bed, so we could watch something a bit more adventurous. Bruce Willis is usually a good sign that an action movie will at least be fun, although it turned out that this wasn’t really an action movie. The humour went…

    {watching} Annie for family film night. It’s Smallest’s new favourite film – full review from her on Monday, along with the video from the wonderful workshop we attended. Evenings are Once upon a Time, we’re on Season 4 and starting to panic slightly about what we’re going to watch next. {reading} Lots of phonic readers,…

    {watching} Ribbit (Amazon pre order link). Full review to follow (with giveaway!) but the younger two kids really enjoyed this. Evening watching is currently Once upon a time on Netflix. Which is oddly gripping. Even if it is just fairly tales. #StreamTeam {reading} nothing right this second, but I read Only Ever Yours last night.…

    {watching} Pretty in Pink. Which wasn’t what we cued up for family film night. We’d found some Adam Sandler comedy that we thought would do nicely, but when the time came Small was too busy with his game, so he went off with the DS and the small children as his audience, and we watched…

    {watching} Lilo and Stitch for family film night. Which was apparently scary and mostly sad :/ Smallest burst into absolute sobs when she thought Stitch was being taken away, and had to be cuddled and persuaded to go on watching, and I don’t think is going to forgive us for some time. Oops. (I remembered…

    {reading} Empire. {watching} Arrietty for our first #familyfilmnight of 2015. It was great, I could really get into animation of that quality. And for once, a film that held the entire family’s attention throughout, which is nothing short of miraculous really. It felt a lot closer to the books than other adaptations we’ve watched, even…

    {watching} Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return (Amazon). Arrived for review this morning, and was absolutely perfect for a trimmed down #familyfilmnight with just the younger two. And I enjoyed it, which was a bonus, although a film featuring Sir Patrick Stewart as a tree is always going to stand a chance with me 😉 Unlike…
