we,ve had a busy day today
the shopping was due between 9 and 10 (how i love online shopping its made life so much easier)and it came at about 2 minutes past 9.i,d just got dressed so timed it right.with my posse of helpers we brought it all in and after a rummage through the girlies decided that they wanted fruit and yoghurt, with n making herself a fruit salad and r and b had an apple cut up that they could dip into the yoghurt.little man had a piece of toasted teacake and had a good chew on it.
they all wanted "jobs" to do after breakfast so the pasta, rice and tea bag containers got filled.then they wanted to paint again (did it yesterday )so put the newspaper down and got everything out themselves.they tidied it away as well without being asked!
r wanted to "wash up"so we ran a sink of soapy water and she washed the painting things, she had a great time doing it and had to get changed after while i dryed the kitchen floor.
after lunch n wanted to play draughts so we had a couple of games that didn,t get finished, the first one we both got to a stage where we couldnt move, which i,ve never had happen before!very strange, and the second got kicked over accidently by b who was fidgeting on my knee because she wanted to join in.we gave up until we could play in peace.
then alphabet bingo was brought out which they all love (b is recognising when the letter held up matches one on her card so doesnt need much help)and r is recognising a few of the letters. n and r took turns being the caller and we all shouted them out and said words that begin with them. we had 3 games then they wanted to play operation.
i dont find it an easy game when we all play because at the moment b can,t pick up the pieces so gets lots of extra tries, r also finds it hard to pick pieces up so she gets lots of extra tries as well.n is good at it so doesnt need extra gos but usually protests about the other 2 even though she usually ends up winning.oh joy my peacemaker hat was on again mind you they are arguing alot at the moment so peacemaker is a continuous role.
n helped me with tea and we baked a cake for afters.
i managed to get a tiny bit of knitting done while they watched tele,high school musical concert came on so everything stopped for that.i,m trying to finish some shorties for little man which i started ages ago and which won,t fit him soon if i dont get em done, theres only about 6 rows of the leg cuff to go! and i really want to get the mei tai done soon, my to do list is growing longer.
anyway thats been our day today intermingled with lots of eating, washing,nappy changing, non stop talking and general family life.oh and it,s been raining again nearly all day!!
