Sports, swings and sick!

CHEF sports today, which the boys always enjoy 🙂 G brought E and J there and then left them with me so they could come back with us to play while she was teaching. E was quiet, but seemed okay and when the boys came out she played quite happily with them. A few families were going to the park afterwards, so we went along too and the boys and L had a great time running round in the woods with SB, M and a few other children, taking it in turns to be bossy and bossed Meanwhile E was sitting quietly or just snuggling into my arms, apart from a brief spell of playing with L. Then she suddenly started crying, I picked her up – and she threw up! Very neat job, fortunately, avoiding almost all of me and pretty much all of herself. Thank goodness for Bean organisation! I really don’t do sick so it was quite definitely Chris to the rescue, not only producing tissues and wipes but then offering to hold sicky child and clean her up for me – I guess seeing me retch all over the place may have encouraged his offer, but thanks Chris – you’re a star!
Fortunately she looked much better once she’d finished being sick, so I didn’t need to summon G back but instead we went for a gentle ride home in the car (and a snooze for E and L) and then a quiet snuggle on the sofa while the rest of us ate lunch, followed by an hour of Muzzy, which J and E had brought with them. The children enjoyed Muzzy so much that G has now lent it to us for a week, so I expect we’ll be doing lots of French over the next few days 😉
By the time E and J had gone home (still wanted to stay, despite illness, so we must be doing something right lol) the boys were onto computer games (good old BBC Schools 😉 ) and it was fairly obvious that dragging them out shopping was not going to go down well, so the cupboards are still bare and we had pasta and sauce for tea. Could have had pumpkin, I guess….
