Yesterday and Today
Yesterday started out fairly well. I woke to M reading his horrible science magazines, he’s really enjoying them and I am aswell as it means I’m not on at him to read, he’s not desperate to finish reading to get onto whatever else and so I’m less likely to grump at him.
When Alex got up they played on a tank game that had trajectory angles as part of it. Someone had mentioned their son really liking a game like that and I figured it would be right up M’s street but in fact they both enjoyed it. I think we also need to have an explore of the rest of the games on that site, should be something else there that will catch an interest. I read them some creation stories from a library book we got as A is really interested in how it all happened. She decided she wants to go to church. I’m not really sure what to do on that one at the moment!
A then found some craft paper set she had ages ago and they decided to make a huge mess with that. They were doing it nicely together so there was a plus point and they listened to the Into the Blue (Dolphin Diaries)
After waiting for the postman to come without the parcel I was waiting for we headed off to try and do some shopping that we didn’t manage the day before. Explained to the kids about the labels that tell you the price of stuff per kilo or whatever so you can compare prices while we were outraged looking for some sunflower seeds in the cooking section. Last time we bought them, which wasn’t that long ago, they were 29p for a small pack. Now they were 99p and it was actually cheaper to buy the organic named brand other than the sainbury’s normal pack. Sigh. I got home from shopping in a little bit of a fraught mood and we didn’t do the Chemistry Pre-Level 1 
Can’t really remember what the rest of the day held, I know I sent them outside for a little while, but er…
Oh well. On to today 
M was up before me again, but was lego-ing this time. I decided I was going to spend the morning tidying the living room as it’s beginning to look a right mess so I got on with that while A and M played some weird game together. Every so often they have these days where they play so well and have really intricate games. Unfortunately these days also tend to descend into them just being completley loopy. Happy and not fighting, but loopy.
A eventually read a board book that we had lying about which was about a toddler making a den so then she decided to she had to do this too. I was argh-ing at the mess it was creating but decided to leave them to it till 2.30pm which meant they had enough time to tidy before James coming in.
Once James came in it was looking much better, they did a v. good job of getting on with it. Well eventually! James put on loads of music and A was enjoying dancing to The Prodigy, really should have videod her, v funny! M dissappeared to play his xbox and A had a go on Wii Fit. Think that was about it. Doesn’t look much now I’ve written it down! The downside of blogging I guess.
