The summer holidays are nearly over and before you know it, they’ll all be back at school again. It feels like it has been a packed holiday. Last week in particular was crammed with ‘stuff’. We went to visit my sister for the day because (aside from wanting to see them!) Fran had to go […]
The end of (this year's school) days.
We made it. Only just and not without some pain, but we made it. It’s the end of our first full year of schooling all of them. I’m pretty disgruntled about it, as I said before, but there are positives too. None of them want to leave so I suppose that is a positive. They […]
A Pox on the House.
Poor old Bene has been suffering from Chicken Pox this week. I say suffering, but in fact he’s been remarkably well with it really; we thought we were going to get it a few weeks ago when my nephew was here for a day the day before he went dotty but he missed it then, […]
Let's hear it for the girls.
I’m all out of blogging mojo and blogging time but this needs recording. The girls competed in a gym comp at the weekend. I’ll have to add video later for posterity but here is a picture to remind me of a great day. They both did well although it was not Fran’s day really (gcses […]
Jigsaw Boy
I forget to post about Bene and how he’s growing up. He’s the centre of the universe here, doted on by all of us, never unattended, never alone or left to his own devices. He’s fitted right in like the last piece of the jigsaw. But I’ve not remembered to keep a tally of what […]
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Today was a ‘motherhood’ day. Ups and downs. Growling as I stomped around the house looking for a very lost kindle which eventually turned out to be hidden (in a very toddler manner) behind the radiator that is behind the sofa, growling more as I encountered the bedrooms of my daughters. That’s life. Mess, missing […]
Lax Toddler Parenting #10: Speech Apathy
This is how I like my children… In the garden, being noisy, having fun, not connected to app or screen or anything much. It seems a pretty perfect way to be. Bene, like his biggest sister was, is in his element when he’s being physically boisterous. He’s all about body at the moment, has been […]
Josie Jump.
I’ve been busy building yet another website for a peterborough gymnastics club this week; this will be the third and hopefully the last time! It’s been quite something, being part of rescuing this club from a bit of a sad collapse and incredibly exciting to see it now up and running and raring to go. […]
Sunday Stitches: Amelie Crochet.
Amelie had a bad spell of asthma this week and had to have a couple of days off school. She was really too breathless to do much beyond sitting on the sofa and was quite down too for various reasons so I thought I would try and inspire her with my own therapy methods and […]
It's Hama Time!
I didn’t know he knew about these smaller ones and certainly I didn’t think he knew where they were kept. But today he got them out for himself and for a blissful few moments, he was totally absorbed. Shortly after that, he discovered the joy of sprinkling them everywhere 🙄 I’m not getting much crafting […]
