I thought Tim was setting his alarm, he thought I was setting mine, and the upshot of it all was I woke up at 10.50 this morning 🙂 I still seem tired this evening, dunno what’s going on with me atm.
Anyway, by the time we’d pootled around a bit it was lunchtime and then after that we spent quality time playing games. Well, that was the plan. Big was playing on the computer, so I was playing Set with Small. Big started criticising what we were doing, which annoyed me rather and put me off the game. I should know better than to let her get to me like that 🙁 Anyway, part of the problem was that she was jealous that she hadn’t been asked to play, so when Tim wandered in and wanted to join we reorganised the game and all played together.
Playing together, I didn’t hold back. Well, I was playing against Tim 😉 So I won. He came second, and Small managed a whole set. Big didn’t get any. Time for a different game.
We moved on to Junior Scrabble
. Small went first and put down his tiles, and then after Big, Tim finished the word Small had started. Instant meltdown. I’d forgotten he’d had problems with that the first time he played with Big and he didn’t recover himself, so he ended up going upstairs while we played out the game without him.
We finished the game and Big won. I came second and Tim lost. 😀 He played several games of chess with her, and Small came bouncing back downstairs, all temper and tears forgotten, bringing a whole pile of Little Funnies
with him. He then proceeded to read out the joke from the back of each book, and cackle hysterically about each one, although it was painfully obvious he didn’t actually understand most of them. Does that come with time? Or do I need to explain them to him?
They did more computing – there is much playing on build-a-bearville atm. They want to get their furry friends online but they need friend codes and apparently they need to go to the shop with the friends in question so we haven’t got that far yet. They’ve been wondering whether they need to buy new friends to get it all working, but Big really wants Holly online with her, she doesn’t want a new friend.
And that was our day. Tea, bath and more story. Kids are in bed, although they’ve been down several times, and we’re watching Numb3rs
again.
