Mon: Spent the early(ish) morning cutting out a doll (Barbie) pasting her on cardboard and cutting out her clothes to dress her. How I used to love this as a kid. I think I had more fun than Annika. We've made another house this week, one draped with materials and wool. I'm so glad I don't throw anything away, it comes in so handy for kid minding. The house looks like a squat, hippie style.
Tues: Endured another morning watching the Chipmunks movie. Am I alone in not being able to figure out what they say? At least I managed to avoid the 3D version, they charge an arm and a leg for that! Afterwards went mad spending some of my savings on a new mini backpack and a lovely leather wallet. Also bought a game, Pictureka, great fun, and at least I can hold my own against sharp eyed Annika, unlike the memory game where she still kills me, and has been doing since she was three years old.
Today, having a peaceful, cool, morning watching cricket on TV and trying to avoid touching my sunburnt shoulders, the places the sunscreen missed after two sunny days at the pool with Annika. This time we played Chuggington. For those not well versed in children's TV these are trains. We backed up against the lane rope, filled our 'carriages' with whatever took Annika's fancy then chugged over to the wall and 'emptied' them out. Now I am blessed with a considerable amount of patience but...she'd still be doing it if I hadn't called a halt. At least the kid has imagination. I love that.
We had to be in the outdoor pool because the indoor one was being used for classes. At noon it emptied and we were allowed in. At 1205 we had to evacuate because some little tyke decided to 'evacuate' into the pool, did a poo in other words. It's the same pool Annie threw up in a few weeks ago. I'm getting leery about going back in there!
