Well…

… the day started okay, with J getting his Maths and English done pretty much straightaway so that he (and L) could watch some tv. K took ages to get round to doing anything much though, then complained that he hadn’t got to watch as much as they had (well, yeah, that’s how it works when you take ages and strop!) 🙄
Playing outside happened, as did snack, which was even educational with cheesy letters 😉
We did some of the Impossible Quiz (just can’t click fast enough to fire up those lasers!) and a bit of SotW (finished the Normans) then had a late lunch before walking down to the post office and then back via the park. Oh, and somewhere in there J had a massive tantrum and ended up going into the garden to shout and stomp and scare L and K. I dread to think what the neighbours thought, as he was really roaring at the top of his voice and in a nigh-on uncontrollable rage 🙁 When he’d calmed down he came back in and apologised to everyone (schizophrenic developmental stage again, I think, veering between tantrumming toddler and mature adult) and suggested that he should have something to eat and it may have been at least partly due to low blood sugar. He may have been right; it was certainly getting late by then and we hadn’t yet had lunch…
The park was lovely and we did a fun photoshoot when we got home, because PIL have been asking for a decent portrait photo of K, but apart from that it’s been a bit of a stormy afternoon. J read his new Beano and all the children had a go at blowing bubbles with an old tube of bubble/balloon stuff K found, but there were frequent clashes for no obvious reason, so I’m hoping it’s just tiredness and things will go better tomorrow.
Had some of J’s cake for tea – yummy! Might just have to have another slice for my supper 😉
