We had rather a good day. We did some tidying, and my mother arrived to stay over night. SB and BB very excited!!
Sb even read to mum – good on her! And did 6 pages of singapore maths with her. So felt we had shown education. Mostly we were playing. We had a woolly mammoth wooden skeleton thing to build, so me and SB had fun doing that. She played lots of games with my mum – the tube joining game, build a beetle, shape snap, jigsaws. Also wrapped up a present and did a couple of pictures. In fact was altogether charming and gorgeous!
Mum had been disappointed in the dance mat she got SB for christmas, so bought one from ELC in the sale. they had a great time doing the free dance together! BB kept switching it off mind you.
When my mum started to look like being in the wind tunnel was a bit much, I settled SB down with cbeebies to navigate around, and BB got a lookin – she had been trying hard for a while! Finally all settling down to play with lego. finished with some just so stories and others at bedtime. The Britannia book is really good – thanks Merry.
Nice lazy day and chat. I think we got away with mum not going into the room with xmas tree – but hope chris tidies it away before barbara comes! After beanies went to bed, we chatted family tree, and managed to work away at the Hellowell/Rushworth side a bit. Shame they seem to be the most popular surnames in Halifax, and the census writers had no idea on spelling! One poor chap is variously linneus, lyneus, lennis and lewis!! And when you add to this that part of the families prediliction for being unwed, going into service and being brought up by siblings etc…[no wonder it is proving difficult].
I think I maybe using it to sublimate my present disatisfaction with my life.
Mum went to my Nan’s on thursday [little Nanny], but forgot to take the triwalker, so they popped in yesterday while I was at work. In the eve, SB had ballet and did some explode the code as we have been a bit slow in that this week.
Blogging has pointed out the serious lack of muzzy and piano too!! Also history of the world. hmmmm
“like being in the wind tunnel” ROFLMAO! That’s it…that’s exactly what my mum must feel like when she arrives and my two descend on her
it does seem that you can now comment at last!
