lovely sunny day today, but after being so adventurous yesterday, we decided to be a bit more homebound! I am a home girl, and I like days at home!! Also, I had promised SB the prev evening a game, so i got up to find settlers of catan!
oh, and while i am there, doesn’t this look like a cutie board game starter for BB
so, although the adult settlers isn’t really a 2 player game, it is fine with SB actually. we took 2 hours, and she won! I do no ‘letting her win’ but am not particularly ruthless either – i will exploit holes left, but not plan a campaign as it were. anyway, we both enjoyed the game, BB comforted with robin hood disney on tv. and suddenly it was lunchtime! so not one of those days to reel off lists!!
after lunch i got out the soap making kit and together we spent all afternoon happily making various soaps. SB was particularly adventurous with hers, and they look great. BB’s are highly perfumed and highly coloured, and mine are slightly less!! but my hands smell fab after all of that.
we messed about in the garden, did some colouring in of various little book thingies to make stained glass for the window, and then the girls did lots and lots of sylvanianing.
Love the soaps
Remind me which other board games are your faves, as we want some more around here … Pandemic, what’s the space one?
Ooh – they do look good. We’ve not made soaps here. Did candle making once. I suspect it’s a simliar process.
@sarah – i love settlers of catan, puerto rico, caylus [tho that is stella's!] the stone age [em's], agricola [though takes ages to set up!], ticket to ride. i liked the babs powergrid too
the space one is race for the galaxy and a card game [a la san juan i guess] and bohnanza is a good gard based game that the children love too – and it has an altruism bonus streak!
