BB gave us a dreadful night last night, so we have felt a bit zombified.
SB drew a lovely piccie of our house and all the expected Christmas guests in it. She also put the pub next door in as well for GrandadF. Surprisingly, she also drew a route to the seaside [hmm, artistic license?]She then has done a sparkly [very] red Xmas decoration for the tree.
We did go swimming, and I pootled about. It was still rather painful though – possibly due to the 2 children, rather than the actual pootling in the water. SB investigating swimming backwards and dolphin dives. BB just chuckles around the pool.
on the return we did some hama – another glow in the dark star, 2 pages singapore maths 1A, SB read a red nose reader to BB, and I read a variety of books. We never did get to the explode the code. SB then looked at the new webland.
Lots of sindy and barbie playing. WHilst i was otherwise busy [snoozing if I;m honest, with BB asleep on my lap] SB got some blu tack, and is now fully understanding on the reason why you don’t squidge blu tack into a barbies hair – yuk! Any remedies??
We also did a lot of singing paractise – actually going up and down with ploacing our hands on feet, knees, tummies, head and up in the air. After discussions at Okehamton, I’ve decided to be pro active, and hopefully SB will sing better than her dad!
Finally vietnamese stew for tea, and Sudoku for SB and me – it does make it rather more challenging when you aren’t that sure what the numbers are! She has had her bath and is shining my pen torch through my cheek – sigh!
Other things – Chris planted out the garlic [at last] BB played with her musical toys, the tambourine was a real hit. She also had a great giggle at SB playing chase with her. She has enjoyed walking about – shut herself in the downstairs loo in the dark!!
I must see orthopod next week, as arm still really painful. Also, although they did views of my scaphoid, the base of my thumb is still hurting. I can’t think work is going to be that impressed if I need more time off.
Tomorow, Christmas tree.
May try and google child bonds tonuight. would like an ethically friendly one if ok – smile seem to do one through someone else. My dad alread has a babybond with the childrens mutual for each of them [i think] so i don’t think we can have another one?
Oh, and I finally won 2 ebay dressing up dresses for SB within the specified gift price from little Nanny- yippee! [helped by ebay postage coupon]
do share any research you get on babybonds, would prefer to go ethical for Small.
hmmm, scaphoid breaks regularly don’t show on x-rays for the first few days (but then you knew that I guess) so yes, def get it checked and tough cookies to your boss, maybe he will apreciate you more when he starts to REALLY miss you!!!
Yuck, I had a scaphoid fracture years ago – skiing injury. It was *really* sore, and seemed to take forever to be fully functional again.
yeah, hoping it isn’t/ Had full scaphoid views done initially, but am going to ask for a repeat. Doesn’t hurt in the anatomical snuff box [rofl!] so may be one of the other carpal bones.
Sounds like Barbie needs a head shave
Singing….I want my two to manage better then I did, Titch is already tuneful but Pip has singing lessons with Sim at the piano sometimes but mostly Stagecoach is responsible for her improvement. She’s never going to be a wonderful singer, but I’d like it if she could sing without people sniggering (as happened through my childhood)!!
*How* you manage to always be so busy even with a broken arm….
