weekend of fun

we have been v definately trying to completely tailor our/my free time around BB, what she likes, what she wants to do, who she wants to see etc. Having been under the weather during the week, i was keen not to ‘give in’ at the weekend, however desperately I wanted a rest!

SO in the morning we pootled around together, did a bit of piano, played biberbande etc and got ready for a cubs day. Her pack and many others met up for a half day of ourdoor activities and games. It is such a shame that it rained so much, because although she had fun, i imagine she would have had even more fun if not looking like a drowned rat by the end! [and she had raincoat and all the gear] . i got bonus points for having dry clothes for her at the car :) and even more for stopping for chips at a fast food place for her :) :) as we were en route to TB house.

we arrived in the dark and driving rain, but to a lovely welcome :) the kids all got sorted happily together, watched some atlantis, played some minecraft, chattered as getting ready for bed. We 3 adults got a game set out, and BB unfortunately had a going to bed crisis. V proud of my friends for helping me deal with it quietly and non fussily, even if it meant going to a different house to download prev episodes of atlantis for bb – thankyou x x x. and so we played our game :) settlers of catan with knights and cities expansion. I am not so keen on settlers asa rule cos you can be really stuck from the start, but actually the expansion really changes the dymanic, so considering putting it on my xmas wish list :)

we went to bed at 4am – how ridiculous!! and then got up earlier than we could have done with ;) but had a lovely day. the kids went swimming, was tempted but though so tired i might just drown ;) I am getting to old for all night games playing!

the various games – kids played on psp2, minecraft, biberband etc and we played an expansion filled agricola – but only in part. loved meeting TB wider family – 2 brothers as well as mum. kind of puts context around your friends, and I like that :)
TB’s mum had us round for afternoon tea – delish :) thankyou :) . I was proud of BB, for giving the curry a try and actually eating quite a bit, and also good manners at the high tea :) [high five emoticon]


we had a great time, and were sad to go – always a good sign :) thankyou for having us x x
