…and still loads of back catalog to do [grin!]
Anyway, SB and BB happy to see me on return from work – unlike JJ, we did NOT have sleeping baby last night [or bed on time Mum]. The storm was something though wasn’t it!
Our social diary prob full for this term, so very happy with that, and will fill up next as well. [though may squeeze a bit more in!]
We are def planning to have a no-school/housewarming next summer term start for SB, as that is her ‘official’
Today she has done a lovely painting at nursery and brought it back. We did more brio-alike [well tescos!] making up stories. She still insists the name is Hemery and Hemerietta though. While doing this BB fed for England [thank god, as so engorged could have knocked holes in concrete as no time to express at work today].
Chris found a cricket in the kitchen so we had a look at that, and then it jumpd all over the place before caught and shown the door!
Nice ‘Ken Hom’ made by chris for tea – though he needs to improve at stringing runners – while Sb counted mouthfuls in German. We also looked at a Marshalls veg catalogue to decide what to grow, and although she was haywire with page 50, she spotted 66 and 67 instantly – wierd]. some addition and subtraction went on as well.
me and SB did her phonics on the leappad. I got a box set of 10 phonics books with a multicartridge from american ebay and its brill. I had worried about the american accent, but SB either ignores or laughs as she repeats words such as fragile. of course being SB, we are not actually doing them in logical progression, so did book 10 – compound words! however, she is realising -gradually- that if she thinks about the letters she can read the simple words. Obviously she prefers wild guessing most of the time!
BB def 4 teeth now – ouch.
anyway, back to yesterday…..

We’re having a ‘not going to school’ picnic with some friends next week.
Get stringless runners for nedt year! They are ace, no messing about just top and tail them then cut up and cook…. really good taste, at least as prolific as normal runners and even survive our clay soil.
good idea Katy. this years are mostly bought from local allotment extras – so getting what given! I like runners though, so shall do so.
I really enjoy mooching through seed catalogues- so good that SB getting the hang already.
hope you head feeling clear this am
