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…
Friday out at friends
On Friday we went over to see Em. The kids took stuff to play magic school, including spare wands for E and R, and I took a bag of yarn and various patterns so I could start something else. In the end, they didn’t play magic school, but it was a game filled afternoon as…
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…
A day of much tidying.
I spent Weds trying to persuade the children to tidy their room. Seems incredible to think that this took a whole day, but as Big spent the morning stropping in and out while Small played and watched Bod and then I spent the afternoon persuading him to sort things while she played or read or…
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…
Mathematical traumas
over the weekend I printed out placement tests from Maths no problem for both offspring. Small is acquiring maths concepts in the same way he acquires all knowledge (ie I have no idea, just suddenly he knows something) but Big has had her mathematical confidence dented over the last couple of years by osmosis, and…
quiet recovery day
Kirsty and co up and offed before lunchtime today – with James having work commitments he wanted at least some afternoon at home. The kids had done really well together, Small particulary enjoyed boy playtime I think 🙂 A and Big do hit it off too though, loved the times when they were running around…
Very sunny beach day.
As we are now close to the beach, it’s rather a draw for small visitors, so a beach trip was in order for Saturday. It took the adults (namely me!) a while to get going, so it was nearly lunchtime by the time we headed out, but we took fruit and water, crisps and sun…
