or baking and skating 
thursday had multisports and fri was wild place i think for the girls, putting woodchips down.
sat started as a nice family weekend, doing different things in the same room, bit of maths for SB, reading for BB and lego, some work and finishing secret santa for me , BB has been also playing a lot of creationary that she got for her birthday. SB and I did some sweet making fr xmas, BB made shortbread for camp all lovely and convivial. Sb finally gave bb her present of reindeer headband – bb v happy
After lunch we went to see madagascar 3 at the cinema, which we all really enjoyed, and thought a brilliant end to the series finished the eve watching masterchef on the iplayer and an early night
sunday was a good music practice day, with sb doing piano and clarinet and bb cello. i sorted out a bit nmore of the xmas music as well. we went out in the pm to ice skate at a garden centre and met G and E there we had a fab time, G and I drinkig coffee and chatting, and DH and the kids skating around. was a lovely day, and they were v happy to have friends there as well. had a hot choc and cake to warm up afterwards as well
we wandered into the fish section and bought some high fin platys and a bristlenose plec for the near-empty tank. though when we got home, we found that our 2 remaining platys had had a single baby, so maybe that tank wont remain too empty! watched merlin and then bedtime. A lovely relaxing weekend
monday the girls had a bookwork day, and both fairly industrious, and tues less so 
but they did get to go skating again this time with a different set of friends. both my girls wish we were candaian as our candain family live v near west edmonton mall, and they would love to be able to iceskate so often. . watched david Attenborough reviewing the last 60 years one night and alvin and the chipmunk the squeakwel the next night [argh!]
