merry and I were the last to get up, but we had had the crappest sleep – well apart from Josie and BB of course!!
SO we had pancakes for lunch – rofl!! The children all danced and played wildly. SB demonstrated several times how to collapse in a heap of wail on the floor for no reason, and then skip away. She is really quite skilled at that billowy heroine fall to the ground. Cocolate gave BB and Josie the perk that they needed to vaguely keep going.
We sang to Merry and Max [poor max] a goodbye, and then a whirlwind of tidying. I still haven’t found my other slipper boot though. They are massive. I just don’t understand where it can have got lost. We played a bit of lego, the collapsed in front of secret life of plants, and then the island bit by titchmarsh. SB really loves these documentaries at the mo, and chooses over all else [i had suggested a film]
We had scraps for lunch and tea. BB didn’t wuite make it to tea. one minute she was looking at decs on the tree and taking off the tesco’s wooden angels [which are lovely!] and the next minute she did an SB fall to the ground. I was brushing SB’s hair at the time so not really paying that much attention, but got SB to look at her face and she was asleep. Fantastic ability to fall asleep while walking.
She was breathing I hasten to add. So SB and I played Uno, Set and Scrabble before chasing her to bed as I am zonked myself.
Ahh, BB just fallen out of bed. so no early night for me. oh, SB down as she has wiggled that tooth free.
edited to add. I just had the sad news that my Uncle Ronnie passed away at 4am Canada time. He was a heavy smoker for 60 years and accepted the consequences fatalistically. he just managed to see the latest grandchild and a last Christmas. A gentle man who loved his family – 4 children and 5 grandchildren a present count -? and put them first. Rather too fond of Canadian brand country and western, but hey, each to his own. I will always picture him in the boots and belt buckle outfits in my mind. Happy singing Uncle Ronnie.
