got back from work to find a waterfight in progress – very quickly got wet and oh how nice that was [why aren't work places aircon? my office deepest pit of hell heatwise. not in there much though]
chris ordered shower, as i can’t cope without.
beans happy and healthy [BB spreadeagled on my lap] SB getting v good with mental maths add and subtract [shops and cafe games]. also has a lovely imagination in games. we read a nicely illustrated book about beaufort scale for wind, and finished of the sharks book – we need a trip to london aquarium i think. I have a new burst of imaginaion for maggie and the ferocious beast stories. SB has most of the songs i sing memorised, so need to learn some more!
BB very good at front and back rolling, and trying to press up to poss crawl. she mostly likes standing and bottom jiggling. she has a firm grip, and perhaps soon will keep hold of toys that SB runs away with.
must whittle down sonlight order. Who was anally retentive enough to sticker books according to subject?? I feel v tempted. Also I feel we have a very school at home resource section, so would fit well on a tv prog!
Finally put in photobox order for all last years photos, so i can have a nice time albumising soon!
I keep thinking I *should* colour-code the kids’ books (non-fiction anyway! The chapter books are in the big girls’ room, in alphabetical order by author, and I don’t mind not having a plan for the picture books
) – if only to encourage everyone else to put them back on the shelves in the right place 
I think Jules has hers stickered
ours are sort of categorised… bottom two shelves in the hall have educational type books on them grouped into science, maths, english, history, religion, languages, music, geography and workbook/activity books.
Tarly’s room has all the picture books and things like lift the flaps, Davies’ room has all the early reader type books, his Mr Men collection, all the Dr Seuss and all the ‘story’ books and chapter books.
There are three shelves of my books in the hall and two of photo albums (Ady gets the best of our photos printed off weekly at Costco) and baby books. System is not perfect and I am currently considering how it could be improved without actually getting more bookcases!
Feeling a bit book-inadequate
