We had a relatively relaxing day today (Mothers' Day in US). Breakfast (in bed for Exile #2 with newly made cards). Church. Lunch in the garden. A game of kick-dodgeball, a game that Exile #4 has seemingly invented that involves me trying to kick a rather deflated football (soccer-type!) so that it bumps her while she runs around the garden. Playing/dancing (Exile #3 and Exile #4), sleeping (E5N1), talking about houses (Exile #2 and me). Both Exile #2 and I spoke to our mums (although I had some technical problems). We had a nice tea, bath time, bedtime.
The girl's seemed to grasp the idea of Mothers' Day well. Although it would be nice to think that their thoughtful behaviour might extend past today, I think it's best for us to appreciate this happy day for itself.
Exile #2 returned with this cape from one of her groups the other day and Exile #3 insisted on putting hers on to form a superhero tag-team. Exile #4 provided the essential 'animal in trouble' - a staple of the wonderful Wonder Pets as well as the much-quoted Go Diego Go!
So, with this picture of the back of the cape: Happy Mothers' Day Exile #2 - a Super Mom indeed.
A third of a year! Congratulations. Nice cape Exile #2! from Gillian
ReplyDeleteas of yesterday I mean - I can do maths - honest.
ReplyDeleteNo-one should really expect mathematicians to be able to do arithmetic (or doctors to do decent first-aid) :-)
