She was the houseproud one who kept cooking and fussing when Jesus came to call. I’d be spending today cleaning the house, if I wasn’t so busy working.
Hooray for: Housework, being houseproud, having parties
Music: whistle while you work

Showed Hannah that she could chalk on the brick wall outside, which is another easy and mess free way to get them artistic, if you don’t mind coloured chalk on the walls.
A Barnaby Bear I hadn’t seen before, at least not all the way through. Chester, with Romans, races, and the Chester plays, for which Barnaby Bear dresses up as a rabbit.
Also, to Little CupCakes, the new Mums and Tots group at Springhead Community Centre, which we find has a party at the end of the month: Hannah was photographed (presumably for a publicity article: she has already been in the Chron to advertise the music group that she has now left), played with the toy cars and whatnots, had her face painted, played Musical Statues and Musical Bumps and won a bracelet, ate cake and sausage roll, joined in a singsong session, and brought home yet another balloon,

This afternoon, to the playscheme that they are doing at Leesbrook Park. Hannah painted, crayoned, made a card with flowers (now withered up), sat on her favourite ‘Giraffe’ tree, and swung in hammocks.

Soapy water in the paddling pool helps to clean Hannah while she plays, and mitigate the effects of any ‘accidents’ in the water.
Also, she had a go at grating the cheese for cooking tea,
Also, she had a go at listening to Sam on the telephone; she laughed, but was clearly a bit confused; removing the phone from her ear in order to look at it.

Since Hannah is not fully toilet trained, I am preferring to let her potter around the house. The house is a tip, and she can load a DVD by herself, but never mind.
While I’m working at my desk, she can sit at the little desk and draw, and I made her a paper aeroplane and a paper hat.
For cooking, she tried some of the red pepper I was chopping, and while everything was cooking in the pan, we danced to the songs on Space Pirates.

A lady who came with a reputation… I know how I propose to celebrate her feastday, and it’s entirely secular.

Grandad came round at lunch time. Also, bed making, which can include bouncing on pillows, pillow fights, etc.
Also, I got my deadline put back 3 weeks, which helps.

To my mother’s house for lunch, and to leave Sam who is stopping with her for 10-14 days. Grandmas are fantastic…

This morning, we went into town to buy a present for Emily Whittaker’s party; which Sam was more interested in ELC’s train layout, but we managed it, and then we had lunch at the Salt Cellar http://www.saltcellar.org.uk/ . this afternoon, John looked after the children, before taking Sam to the party.
And I am cursing myself for not thinking ‘Oh that’s a lot of money; it must be a harder job than it looks’, or asking about tables and difficulty of editing.
