These Days

We have played a lot of minecraft in the past week. the boys have built the homes of spongebob and Patrick and their underwater habitat including cafe. On a separate biom the boys and i have been building houses and statues, a cafe and a hotel with diary farm and flower gardens. Today Bean and I started on elaborate country houses. It's only when you start to do it yourself that you realise quite how long it takes to build and complete something and the ideas flow all the time so your always ready to start the next building project. it made me thankful that the smalls have that extended, uninterrupted time to immerse themselves in a project (mummy, on the other hand, was constantly interrupted by the need to provide food and there was the small matter today of clearing up last nights sickness from Pumpkin. Never a pleasant task.)

Pumpkin has been busy building towers to knock down with his angry birds sling shots. He has two versions of the game and supplements the building structures with jenga bricks and wooden blocks.

Plum has completely and utterly moved into her own room. She goes to sleep in her own bed (with cuddles from mummy and/or daddy, and wakes up in her own bed in the morning. I think she is missing waking up with us there. She has cried every morning this week because daddy has gone to work. I officially moved her toddler bed out of our room today.
Plum is busy playing with her small world collections, Peppa Pig, Sylvanians and doll's house all join together in one beautiful game. 

Still no phone, still no photos. But Pippin turned 4 months today. She has been full of cold for the past two weeks and struggling to clear her airways when lying down so nights have been less sleep until daddy raised her mattress at one end two nights ago and thankfully we are returning to longer periods of sleep at nighttime. It's pretty regular of her to have six to nine hours.
