But we baked one anyway! Up early this morning and two loads of washing were sitting motionless in the non existant breeze on the line by 11am – they may still be out there in March 🙂
In an effort to do something with the kids we have made a very good victoria sandwich sponge cake with jam and buttercream icing in the middle. Well I say ‘we’, the kids contribution was mainly squabbling over who was going to stand next to me in the kitchen and then licking out the bowls afterwards! Davies also washed up – which went a bit wrong as I have just yelled at him for finishing the washing up and then splashing water everywhere in some sort of Peter Pan / Captain Hook game involving lots of shouty play and splashing 🙁 Also made some flapjacks which look okay too. I actually really enjoy baking (and eating it afterwards) – should do it more and learn to be a bit more laid back about the kids making a mess and imperfect results…
Have also had a wander round to the shop to buy syrup and jam for said baking – and here we are at 2pm all feeling a bit like we should get up and do something but not too sure what? I am simply not a walking to the park and pushing them on the swings kind of mother so that’s out of the question, as is going anywhere in the car as Scarlett will probably fall asleep which I don’t want. Think I might dig some magic painting out as that always keeps them quiet for a while – and I would rather clear up water than mess! We were supposed to be meeting up with Rachel and E today but she cancelled yesterday so we are feeling a bit at a loose end really, we have not planned anything for tomorrow yet either but I think we might take off for the day weather pernitting.
Right enough blogging – I’m off to rescue the day and find something engaging, educational and bonding for the three of us to do this afternoon.
I like your colours/style thing … but on my screen it only takes up half of the space and I have big white patches on the rhs – wonder if you could change something in the stylesheet to make it take up the whole of the available space? Hope you know what I’m getting at – I mean telling the different columns to take a percentage of the space each rather than start and finish at a set point … then again I’m just being really picky … but I expect you really do want your links column to float over the top and be able to move to the left rather than ping down to the bottom when you change screen size …
home education, don’t you just love it?! Bet you never thought you’d be learning all this stuff, I certainly didn’t!!
bugger. I was going to do that comment fix tonight…guess I’ll do it now…
Well Sarah I don’t actually have an inkling of what you are talking about but I am guessing that Jax does 🙂
Me, I’m busy deleting all the nonsense from Texas Holden:-D
Although maybe I should leave it – I am on track to hit the most comments ever recorded on the blogring record if he keeps this up!
How many did you get? Can’t believe they found your blog so fast…that’s got to be some kind of record.
At least 20! Who are they? Never heard of them before? and how did they find me?
I think I might have deleted one of your comments in my frenzy too Jax – don’t take it personally 🙂
they were the ones who commented on my blog too – but Jax had someone different, I think! Ah well. Comments box seems to be fixed – I must remember to fix mine as well!
