well, it is for me OK, as off until thurs after xmas! So, got home from work and huggled the girls with great relief. We got stuck straight in with reading, snuggling and playing together. Lots of drawing – BB loves her etch a sketch, the wacky wigglers are still a huge hit. SB has begun to be more imaginative herself, working out how things might join and what might not work. Both girls are rather sweet at making up imaginative stories with the christmas tree decs in the playroom. Even BB has got the hang of making them kiss and fall asleep. 2 trees may be a frip, but it seem to be money well spent. Straight into Xmas crafts and we made coconut ice. SB and BB – so the mixutres may not be exact! SB is quite able to do it herself, but we still do it together as fun. BB made a huge mess but enjoyed it!
After lunch, we did some making stained glass windows with black paper and tissue paper – glue city! i cut out a snowman shape for BB who stuck bits on it, and then demanded I did it! SB liked the snowman idea, so she did one too.
We read the hannukah section of while the bear sleeps and then watched Disney’s Aladdin, strictly come dancing and Planet Earth ['cos I was steamless at this point!]
i fell asleep, but BB woke me up, so now I have insomnia!!
A lovely first day of the hols though.
I want to do some of those stained glass windows but don’t seem to be finding the time! Glad you had a lovely day though.
we have while the bear sleeps. Lovely book
Wow. These are lovely. Felt compelled to comment on these stained glass windows things.
Thanks Debbie. they were fun to do. it went best with the second one when we did it onto clingfilm, and we pva-s the back to give it extra rigidity.
