Wednesday part 2

Just after I decided that their was a pyjama day happening, the Lawnmower man came, I don’t really mind them seeing me in my pj’s but I draw the line at them seeing me without a bra on, I have breastfed 4 children so they aren’t as “perky” as they used to be, I [...]

Wednesday

The reason for Wills rotten mood became evident when he fell asleep at 7pm and slept for 12 hours.  I keep forgetting that his little body is still getting use to not having a nap.
So far today we have done maths, ordered our new book club book off Amazon and the boys are in the [...]

History group

The older ones have taken themselves off to History group today this is because Will has decided that today is the day to wear undies and a blanket
“Like a veggie sausage”
He flat out refused to leave the house today, and after a 15 minute screaming/head-spinning/green pea spewing fit, I decided today would really be [...]

slowing down part 2

It is a total lie the name of this blog there was nothing slow about the weekend, but I am getting there.
On Sunday decided that more room was definitely needed before winter hit and we will be forced to stay home.  The way to this was  to change the conservatory around.  So instead of it [...]

Slowing down

The Home education fair on Saturday went surprisingly well.  We had a hiccup getting there, as part of the train line wasn’t working so we had to change, normally wouldn’t mind but we took the big pram so Will could nap, this is a great pram and so comfy to push around, it isn’t comfy [...]

We have an internal boiler ??? and one of the kids ( all fingers point to Riley) thought it was good that when you turned the dial the flame went up and down, he left it down for saftey reasons.
To top it off we didn’t get [...]

So busy

O.K. I’m not actually busy right this second.  Right this second I am sitting in my pj’s at 11am having my face ripped off by Erik only to have Will come and slap it back on.  But the general feel( in my head ) is that I am busy.
It was Riley’s birthday yesterday so we [...]

Panic attacks

Today Will was napping by 10 am and has been his normal self since his sleep.  I think the problem with Wills tantrums ( yes I am making excuses for my babies behavior) is that he is 3 and is starting to let go of nap time, but 12 hour days are too much for [...]

Autumn

You can feel the chance in the air, in the morning there is mist and a chill that makes you run to your slippers sighing as they envelop your feet, The sun is out but a breeze lets its self be known.
“Autumn is here”
is seems to say.
This feeling got Will and I outside to pull [...]

Ah sunday

Will went to bed very late last night and decided that 5am was the time to wake the whole house up. I just about muzzled him, chucked him under my arm and ran down the stairs in the hope that the rest of the clan would stay asleep, they didn’t.
Because of our early start [...]
