A little bit of love

After three very busy days (Pumpkin's birthday outing, a successful family trip to Ikea and meeting at our Winter Wednesday Home ed group)  and poor Bean not really feeling well we had a deserved day at home. At least that was the plan. Cleaning out the guinea pigs and i realised that we needed wood shavings and we went to collect our friend from work and her children and take her home, resulting in two trips in the car both boys in pyjamas and Plum in stripy tights and her brother's Bob the Builder t-shirt (her chose.)

Plum has been a busy bee today. We have played with spaghetti and the kitchen set, she has helped clean and feed the guinea pigs. We folded the laundry pile together and put clean laundry into the correct rooms. We have played doll's house and with the farm and the doctors kit has been out. She makes for a very caring and gentle doctor (teddy told me so.) And she helped me to assemble the new table for the conservatory.

We watched Madagascar both last night and this morning. Plum continues to love the 'move it,move it' scene and the boys love singing the 'happy birthday' song. Pumpkin confuses his words at the end and always sings "and you smell one like too." Other than that Bean has taken himself to his bed for most of the day to watch StampyCat and Pumpkin has been playing games on his kindlefire.

Except, that is, for the arrival of the Lego Movie Book. Great excitement, followed by extended read aloud session. It appears that Bean already knows most of the movie from "sneal peek" (his words) clips.
