though she does seem to have lost a few of the bells!

isn’t she lovely!
oh, and I am SO missing a camera. PLEASE can anyone with any photos please flickr them. I’m sure you ahve a spare second!! [and If you have nic, I couldn't find any in all the halloween ones!]
Yeah, chris was VERY late back yesterday, but forgiven. SB had a lovely time. SHe did tell me tonight that she had been frightened by some of the costumes, but hadn’t wanted to hold Merry’s hand as she was being a big girls like Fran and Maddy. She did winge that her sweets were all swapped about and then she didn’t get to eat many - but as far as I can see, she ate LOADS. So thanks to Maddy for helping!! but she said she REALLY liked it, but she missed having made up stories and me - ahh, she knows how to woo me.
We went to pick her up and generally chatted with Merry. I really MUSTN’T every go in that darned stock room again, as I have bought more fimo - for me and Xmas pressies, but also this for BB as it is just gorgeous and I don’t think description does it justice.[and yes Nic, I have read your blog on wooden things for the parents, but I think BB will like this, and anyway...]. Rather scarily, it says customers who purchased this also bought… and its my just made order! so if you’re quick you can see what else I bought. Luckilly Merry doesn’t sell [and I haven't bought] and ‘adult’ products!!!!!!! However, I have just reviewed it in text language.
Anyway all the girls had a play. SB sang to us, BB just was adorable. We ate well and talked well. Sign of a lovely day.
Little Nanny is recovering well after her knee op as well, though not walking yet - and the hospital plans to discharge her on Friday. Deep Breath!
A couple of days ago, Stringbean was sitting at the table, with Butterbean. SB was teaching BB about numbers. She wrote down the numbers on a piece of paper, and showed them to BB and went through them telling her they were numbers. Oddly BB seemed to take it in, when I pointed to words and numbers in a book, she said yes and no when asked if they were numbers at the appropriate points. Or was it just a fluke?
Other than that, what else, some more maths - she has done some MPH stuff on weighing and mass, and multiplication. We have eased off on Explode the Code, as it seems to be going ahead of her a bit now, so we are concentrating more on a bit more reading, seeing as she seems to have moved on to actually reading things. She picks up (very) simple books and can read them, and is reading all sorts of other things, so we think she might appriciate a bit more focus on it - we do have some books we have stashed away for her to read herself, so time probably to break out some of those.
Spent rather to much time yesterday morning watching kiddy TV, I got bogged down it fiddling with the wireless network. The wireless AP fell onto the floor and something inside got dislodged. Tracked that down and sorted that, but then got bogged down with getting it all up and running again. I hate wireless networking - it can work fine for ages, and then it decides to not work. And the AP struggles at times with all our solid walls etc. to give coverage over our house, at the moment it has been relocated until I can rejig the network wiring feeding the old box currently in the sitting room feeding downloaded stuff to the TV. so now if you wear the wrong shirt or something the wireless just gives up. Pah! And (while I’m at it) our ISP is giving us a pants ADSL service at the moment…..
She watched some of the Walking with Beasts DVD as well yesterday.
Today was library/storytime day. BB insistent that she take her Muddlepuddle bookbag with her - dragging it along behind her 
Afterwards, coffe, some reading of library books, lunch, BB and SB played for bit mostly making patterns with cuisenaire rods. My mum and dad came round, SB showed off her firefly costume, did some maths and then we headed off to the Puddle, where a very excited BB is going out Trick or Treating with Merry and the girls, followed by a sleepover - first time at someone else’s other than my parents. We are going over to pick her up tomorrow. All the girls were so excited, we were engulfed by a gaggle of noisy excited children (including an unsurprisingly naked Josie :roll:) as soon as we got there, and they seemed to spend the next hour crashing noisly about the place
I got in touble for saying I was coming home and then spending and hour (oops…) drinking tea and chatting with Max though….
And here is our little Firefly. Would probably been better if we’d cleared the wooden train track out of the way first…..
