Tag: Getting to know you
Will you remember?
Do you even know today? What were you doing at 20:10 20/10 2010? Me, t’bloke, Small and the baby were at the table, eating as a family. Big was out. At 20:10 on 20/10 2010 she made her Guide promise and joined Guides. In a historic monument with hundreds of other Brownies, Rainbows and Guides…
Long day and late night.
Not quite sure how the children entertained themselves for most of yesterday, as Tim and I were busy sorting and reorganising to move ourselves down from the loft bedroom. It was beginning to get a bit silly me climbing the ladder, and certainly wouldn’t have worked well once babe is actually here! So I sorted…
A day of two halves…
So let’s talk about the nice bits 🙂 Big settled quickly to her work again this morning – it seems possible that I’ve now found the right level of things to be working with her on both spelling and handwriting so she enjoyed it today. We did some work on a_e and ay words –…
Wednesday wanderings.
After a jampacked Tues, obviously the next thing to do was have a fun filled Weds too. Hm. Not sure that I’ve quite got the hang of this scheduling yet. Anyway, we started out by dashing over to the next town to drop off my TMA – looked like there was another envelope without stamp…
Iron education and swimming.
On Friday I decided I needed to get to the bottom of my blood test results and understand whether I needed medication or not, and whether my preferred option of homebirth was a realistic one. So I nerved myself up and rang the doctors, to find out that they now have a new phone system…
day with Em and back to Beavers.
Woke at 6.30, got up at 8.30 already feeling like it was nap time. Could have been a disastrous day accordingly, but fortunately found an email from Em inviting us over, so once Small had had time to come around and be gently persuaded that he would enjoy it, we set off for Em’s. And…
a one child sunday.
Big was off to a Guiding centenary event on Sunday, she had a guest invite for anyone who had been a brownie/guide before so we’d roped in a cousin who went right the way through to rangers. Was a good choice – when they got there to find out that there was a permission form…
Patchwork skirts and no outings.
Sunday we had intended to go to Bawdsey radar open day via the foot ferry. But instead, after the cooked breakfast, the girls and I started on a patchwork skirt for their toys. As is usual, I horrendously underestimated the time taken just to cut out 25 5″ squares, so C was still cutting at…
Saturday: sun, sand and sea.
Saturday morning evaporated away, I’m sure that there was playing, I seem to remember doing washing, oh and we communally weeded a tub to put in some tomato plants I’d been given. Turned out that the tub had previously had potatos in it and the children, but mainly C, rescued a big bowlful of very…
If it's Friday it must be Framlingham (again 🙂 )
Friday heralded our last time travellers trip to Framlingham for the summer. We’d already finished the passports and put them in the post, and Small’s bag arrived in the morning. It’s not desperately exciting, but it will serve to remind him of the activities 🙂 Am hoping that Big’s bag arrives very soon, as I…
