Er....

Can only think of boring titles like 'catching up' so can't be bothered to sit here for ages racking my brain ....

Shannon has a bit of a tummy bug - spectacular vomiting all over her bed last night, seemed pretty much OK today except didn't want to eat any solid food, and then threw up again in the doorway of Budgens just as we were about to go in .....(don't have an 'embarrassed' emoticon so this will have to do) - I'm just glad it wasn't 10 seconds later and inside, really! I'm gasping for a decent cup of tea, though, as I've run out of soya milk and that's what I was going to get .... plus some chocolate biscuits which are my staple diet.

So I am in my dreaded emetophobic state of wondering if I'm going to get it .....

Not much formal work has gone on here in the past week - I just can't seem to get organised to do much. This morning I did insist that we did at least one 'learning' thing so I got out the Usborne Children's Encyclopedia and asked Jade what she wanted to read about - she chose rainbows so we did a bit about weather, light, prisms, colours. Jade and Shannon both did some painting. Spent a fair bit of the morning trying to sort out clothes - last night I got the age 3-4 stuff out of the loft as I'm fed up of all Shannon's tops being too small for her .... but Jade got excessively emotional about almost every piece of clothing that came out that she recognised and wanted to wear them all again ... Still it's nice to have some stuff that fits Shannon a bit better now but I haven't quite come to terms with her needing stuff that's bigger than her age... Jade was always textbook age/clothes size matching.

Had a mega-clearout of junk toys and stuff at the weekend - got rid of 2 boxes of stuff to the charity shop and made a bit of space for Jade's approaching birthday.

I really can't think of anything else we've been up to. Must go and bath the girls.
