well, we did quite a lot of hama deeds. SB had to do hers twice, as B ‘helped’ her. The first version was better, and so never mind to the receiver of the gift! I also did 2 hama stars as presents, so will remember to flickr them to Merry’s group. i have now run out of christmas green though.
A bit of general mayhem, and book reading and the BB went to sleep. SB and I had been going to do something fiddley then, but she prefered to get stuck in on the baking, so we made Delias chees and olive scones [where she tipped out approx half the egg, so we made up with milk and it is fine]
and then some choc choc chip cookies for CHEF tomorrow. I didn’t get them out of the oven earlier enough though. I just am no good at cookies – they are either biscuits or soggy. Anyway, they are edible. Bb helped with the end of the cookies, having woken up. She mostly ate the choc chips, but did wodge some of them in. We have been using the great big solid balance scales, which are rather lovely, in oz! SO SB adding, doubling etc like mad all by herself.
We have posted out the early years HE cards at last – sorry everyone. I still have my own cards to do.
bit of relaxing with the yoga DVD, SB definitely getting much better at it, and then more general mayhem. lots of singing carols – i quite liked BB’s jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells my legions [to the bring me back tune - rofl] Bit of ad hoc talking around the chinese calendar from the restaurant, and the years of thing. Chris and I are apparently totally incompatible! I have promised to celebrate the chinese new year.
Dinner and now bath. How does the day go so quickly? we were supposed to be making yoghurt pot bells for the Xmas tree? AH, wailing from upstairs – shall I see what Chris is doing?? [it sounds like SB is saying BB bit her nipple? def one for chris to handle]
SB down, it was a finger – bit of a relief!
definitely a relief
I didn’t do EYHE cards this year as I knew I’d just stress about getting them done in time. We did a much smaller swap on the hsboxswap list, and that has worked pretty well.
Haven’t done own cards at all, and have realised that many of my colleagues are off from now, so they aren’t going to get them at all!
Have you come across an excellent children’s book about yoga – My Daddy’s a Pretzel. I came across it in the new gifts bit of Oxfam.
Well you beat me helen. Tomorrow morning I’m going to write them, and afternoon post them. I am I am I am.
I love the Pretzel book
