Today I had a lot of fun with my kids, which makes a nice change to be honest.
After church, we took the boys swimming which I didn’t want to do because swimming with the boys isn’t swimming, it’s being drowned repeatedly, but my husband really wanted to do lengths and he can’t do that with Toby because Toby can’t swim and you can’t leave him alone, bobbing about in the shallow end at Peter’s hands…
This afternoon has been lovely though.
Richard and Peter spent some together (not fighting for a change) playing Mario Kart (although I suspect there was no arguing simply because Rich let Peter win, but whatever works, right?)
Toby and I did some jigsaw puzzles of animals, and it amazes me that no matter how many times it is explained to him, he still doesn’t know to start with the edge pieces…
Then we did some crafts. We did some beading and some sewing. He made a bookmark of a house, I made him a friendship bracelet with aeroplanes on it, and he made a picture of a shark out of pearls. I don’t know why.
We rounded off the day with the most amazing roast… yum!
And that was Sunday!
