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) :-)
