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…
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,…
Slightly soggy Saturday with science and music.
Occasionally, it rains here. Sometimes it rains quite a lot. Saturday was a rainy day – every now and then it dropped a lot of water, and then there were dry patches. Small is taking off with his Science School book. (Link to what appears to be updated edition, Science School) I can’t recommend this…
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…
Just one child
On Monday, Tim took Big up to Yorkshire to spend some time with L. Obviously first of all we had to have traumas as she thought she’d packed the day before, but she’d forgotten things like cuddlies, and coats and purses (which she then couldn’t find) and so on, so there was a bit of…
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…
Finishing off tidying
Thurs appears to have become a bit of a blur to me, I really should blog immediately after the day or even in the evening. Hohum. I know there was more finishing off of tidying – the room is almost acceptable now. If only I could Small into the habit (which admittedly I do not…
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…
