All home, parents tired (Mummy from feeding lots, Daddy is full of cold, and general lack of sleep) trying to veg out in the sitting room – of course Stringbean seems to have plenty of energy….. Getting mummy to recite the ‘Princess and the Pea’ while she sort of acts is out (well a variation, Mummy’s version seems to contain a ‘Grumpy Prince’). We just got ‘The Cat in the Hat’ film on ‘Video on Demand’ for her – seems to have worked. she’s settled down on the sofa as well with dolly. 
Been out today to a local Home Ed group meeting, luckily almost just down the road from us. Unusally, we all went as a family, normally Helen has been at work. We were supposed to take some sweet things for sharing. We were going to make some muffins yesterday but didn?t get round to it. But Stringbean and me decided to make some this morning before we went ? we just about had them made and cooked in time ? luckily they are quick and easy to make. Lots left as well, as there were loads of cakes and cookies, so plenty to nibble on – Banana and Chocolate – yum, yum.
Had a good time there. Some crafty bits first – painted a candle (didn?t know you could get special candle paints), made a little magnetic picture frame ? with the essential glittery bits of course and then made a crown with plenty of stuck on bits and pieces. When ever she is doing stuff like this she always knows what she wants to do, you have to be careful if you help and not get it wrong or there can be all sorts of fuss.
Followed by lunch, followed by cakes. Followed by various party type games Stringbean always seems a bit dopy when it comes to such things about what she is supposed to be doing, but I guess she is one of the younger ones – she does like standing like a statue and running about and screaming though, and there was a fair bit of the latter
Amusing moment of the day
Stringbean siting on the sofa next to Mummy this afternoon, (who was feeding Butterbean) ‘breastfeeding’ her dolly.
Still behind on the rest of the week, may go back and post a bit on previous days of the week,
Feel a bit better now rested, time to finish getting dinner ready.
