Tag: Jonny had two apples
Thursday and I've barely blogged!
That’s no good, I won’t be able to remember a thing 😉 Let’s see, Big stayed at Barbara’s after our group on Monday, and was brought back Tues afternoon. I spent Tues morning decluttering, reasonably successfully, and it must have catching, as Tim got to work on the back bedroom. 🙂 Barbara came round for…
Today is another day
And I’ve already had a thought provoking discussion with Tim about abortion and feminism, done some weaving with Big and a jigsaw with Small. Doesn’t sound like much I know, but I didn’t wake up til nearly 11 🙁 My body clock is completely out of whack with what the clocks on the wall are…
Poetry and sneaky maths…oh, and a ramble.
today Big read another page of her book (we’re onto Goldilocks now) and I teased her into listening to some poetry. She really enjoyed it – after we’d done the first poem, with her sitting, eyes closed, to listen, she chose two more. Good stuff – she picked up on some unfamiliar words and we…
The best laid plans
of mine never work out. We did some maths (Exeter of course 😉 ), we did some reading, we did more Studydog. You’re right Merry, that’s starting to look like a blogring curriculum! 🙂 We didn’t do a whole lot else. I did hear her learning some Spanish from Dora, and Small did a lot…
Drat, this is Saturday's post…
I seem to be permanently a day behind! Let’s see, we’ve had a really lazy day. Feeling a bit rough myself, and sky’s really grey, so pjs were the order of the day, and taking it easy. Lots of imaginative play meant that the floor went missing very early on, and didn’t reappear til I…
Dinner by candlelight
and requests for hothousing. It was an odd day yesterday. Um, struggling to remember much of it – the drawback of regular blogging I think, as usually I don’t have to apply my memory, I can just read back. Do know that my parents popped round, seemed to be wanting to discuss the HE thing,…
Ticking the boxes, and pondering.
Better get a cup of tea and a chair, it’s a long one 😉 Been a lovely day today, which is a huge improvement on the rest of the week. Well, it was OK when Mimi was round the other day, the smalls were no trouble, but Big and I are going through one of…
Reminding myself – well and truly edited now!
to blog about these things tomorrow. Small and birds, cats, dogs and ppl. Small likes animals. He quite likes ppl, but he is squealingly happy to see animals. We walked to the post office on Weds (posted the Hesfes form, yippee!) and every few steps he would stop, smiling, to point at a cat, or…
Achievements of the day
We’ll start with the darker ones so that we can end on a high note. Major achievement – getting through the day without throttling either child or bursting into tears. Not quite sure what’s the matter with me atm, must be partly stress related to the fact that I *still* haven’t heard about the results…
Shh….
don’t disturb him! He’s only sitting quietly doing a jigsaw all by himself for the very first time (one of those peg board ones, think I got it for £1 at Hesfes last year!) Of course, the flash of the camera disturbed him, and there seem to be some pieces missing, so I don’t think…
