spring
Sunshine!

What a beautiful day today was. We we're all up early listening to the birds singing. I started loading the washing machine and the instruments got played.
After music practise we did maths, english and science followed by spellings and Pea's dyslexia book. She's really into trying this out to get her spelling where it should be. I'm proud of her for giving it a go.
The children then dressed up as Jedi warriors and went out into the garden where they stayed for about 3 hours playing. I did the ironing with the windows open listening to them play. It was so lovely. I put the ironing away and sorted out the boxes of playmobil-including throwing out a large pile of unidentified bits. The knights get it next!
I had plans of going to the park and library but they were so happy we stayed put. Boo made sausage rolls for their lunch which they made into a picnic with fruit, drinks and yogurt which they packed up into a basket and ate in the garden. It finally felt like spring was here!
They all had Shinies singing at 4pm, I sat in the moved around shop (Tony went in at 7am this morning with half the staff and it has taken all day for them to move it all around) and chatted. I was tired. Yesterday I'd felt terrible and today just really tired.
Left singing and dropped Pea at dancing then took the little two swimming. It was busy today but I did 46 lengths. Cross with myself as I could have made 50 today but I started chatting and then my time was up. Was really pleased with myself though as it seemed easier today despite being so tired. Boo and Buzz did 8 lengths each as well as playing CEO warriors (whatever that is!) which involved pinching my bottom at every available chance LOL.
Collected Pea and came home to make dinner. Corned beef hash (noodles for Boo) and sausages for them and risotto for me. Nice to eat together (another mission of mine that had fallen by the way side) and chat about our day. Seems the meeting with website people did something and it seems much quicker this evening. The children went off to play and get ready for bed, I did the dishes and Tony cleared up. Domestic bliss
Bedtime and I nearly finished the book I have been reading to them. This has been one of the major challenges to get back into. They tend to go to bed so late and I'm so worn out by then that stories at bedtime fell away a couple of years ago. As part of the effort to help Buzz deal with certain things I wanted to get it back. We are all REALLY enjoying it, some nights I want to say no but instead I just read less. It's good. I finished reading, kissed them goodnight and Tony came up and did prayers and love lines.
We watched The Apprentice and shouted at the twat who got sacked (thank goodness). Tony then fell asleep and I've watched Desperate Housewives. It's time for bed now as we have to be up like normal people tomorrow for a Shinies trip to Chartwell.
