i think i am gradually retiring into recluseness!! woke up today with migraine. and knee still hurts from falling down the stairs on tues! must be getting old. Thus SB and BB went to the library with chris but not me for the easter raffle. BB won an easter egg!! SB then won a fluffy chick on a tombola. both returned happy.
SB is trying to do well with home ed, and so has now moved on to singapore maths 4a!! woohoo!! Also nearly finished explode the code 6 [which we have been doing to try and get spelling!!]. BB did her word cards and was absolutely ecstatic when she read ring!! when she is comfy with this lot, then we will try first books again!
So, what else? lots of playing outside. enjoying the sun, partic as snow is forecast again 
we had some dried runner beans from last year, so picked them, and were far more than i thought!! a HUGE bowl full. we might try cooking some of them in a stew. otherwise, good for bean experimentation! SB helped, and we decided it reminded us of the jacobean farm programme. the girls then got far more interested in bag kites and ran around like loons!
Sis still not well, and no appetite, so i have set up a surprise present of a subscription to graze with the fresh fruit option, and hoping she likes it!
Having looked at healthy food, the girls and i did some easter egg making – far more expensive and more chocolateness than bought easter eggs! but def fun! BB’s subscription mag of dinomite arrived. would have been great, except bought exactly same mag by nanna last week, we both obviously saw its potential!! v cool give away explorer wrist thingy, and since bB lost the last one, this calmed her down.
Some crafting – with BB finishing a paint by numbers and both girls then making easter cards. i overheard sb telling the true story of humpty dumpty and then had to wade in to calm a hysterical BB!! SB started to ask if father christmas real, and then decided to back away! I have made some food for next weekend, chris has started excavating dining room! we did earth hour, and the girls thought that v interesting.
i knew we had done something else!! SB and i spent over an hour playing on the wii together, BB cheering me on. The day seemed reasonably flowing and yet this blog seems a bit empty!! I did have lots of hugs and cuddes too. 
ooh, yesterday was a home ed golf meet. SB enjoyed it, got a couple of holes in one. she is really enjoying learning golf at the mo, and this perked her up as well. BB also enjoyed it.
bedtime reads for sb with me we are back to roman mysteries. bb liking puzzle books
