Tag: Jonny had two apples
mostly harmless
Describes the day fairly well, although it wasn’t what I was thinking as I entered the title box. Yesterday afternoon I made a superhuman effort to detach myself from computer chair and got down on the floor and we did mosaics. This seemed to go down well. The bedtime routine went well as well –…
to wrap up for the day
Pleasant afternoon in the main, children ran in and out a lot, Small tried to fall asleep on the sofa and we refused to let him, and I did roast dinner and actually got it all ready together and earlier than the time I’d said I would! Result 😉 Forgot to mention that Small asked…
This here education stuff
must be careful to keep it education, and not indoctrination! Well, I ask you. Big chose a book from the sale box at the library a little while ago, an ancient tome on Reproduction and Growing Up. Today she wanted to read some of it, so we sat together and I read the pages on…
I am a good mummy
So good, that Big cried with joy when she found the missing computer game at her place at the table this morning 🙂 Or so she tells us – I was still in bed! Small is also still in bed. I’m assuming that this is because he was hot and uncomfortable and didn’t get to…
I think that went fairly well 🙂
Think I’m going to be popping back for a second, more technical interview in a week or so’s time. So I should still be alright for Kessingland, especially as I stressed today that I am away that week. Got to get your priorities straight, after all! 😉 And of course I’ve another interview on Monday…
Mummy, can I do some maths?
I love my daughter 🙂 She woke me this morning by asking me where the first man and woman came from, which lead to a good discussion about how various ppl believe different things, skirted quickly over a variety of creation stories, and landed on a discussion of the theory of evolution. Had to call…
Lovely day out
off the path 😉 Newest addition is cute, although he didn’t seem to be in a mood for cuddles today – never mind, an excuse to go back! (Like we *need* an excuse, :grin:) And as ever, a lovely time had by adults, chatting, and children, playing. Didn’t see Big dressed up in school uniform,…
Improving
And can’t help wondering if it’s because I encouraged a workbook session or two 😉 We’re back to the Exeter maths. There’s been reading as well, sitting gazing blankly at class tv (she watched two episodes, back to back, of a spelling show!) A little more string art, this is obviously going to take a…
Last night's post
finished with: “And now I’m going to go work on some graphics. And study some java. Maybe do the washing up. Package up some ebay parcels.” I thought I’d update you 🙂 I washed up. Worked on some graphics. Didn’t do the parcels last night, but did get them posted today anyway. Didn’t get to…
And back in our world
hm, my blog appears to have disappeared under a welter of political links and news stories. Not quite sure how *that* happened. So what have we been doing? Well, took Small for his slightly belated MMR this morning – he was ever so good. I think he understands rather more than he lets on –…
