In At The Deep End

We were nearly ready in time to collect the parcel on the way to CHEF sports…
Very nearly.
Not quite, though.

As we were about to go onto the A14 we heard the traffic news, which said it was every slow, so we changed course and came the other way. Unfortunately it seems almost every lorry driver in a 20 mile radius had as well, so we then sat in a long queue for several miles wondering if we should have gone the other way after all
We got to Sports late, but K had been saying he was tired all the way there anyway, so he wasn’t too bothered. A very sunny for a change - did her first serious bit of crawling (she had been going backwards and getting horribly frustrated for a while, then at the w/e toyed with the idea of forwards motion but didn’t get very far) - straight across the floor to a bowl of apple pieces which the littlest Bean had left unattended… Having polished off the apple pieces she then had a good rummage in the Beans’ lunchbox (sorry!) and came out with a whole apple which she had managed to take a small chunk out of by the time we realised and took it away from her Littlest Bean was not amused!

We didn’t go to the park afterwards because we realised we might just have time to collect the parcel if we came straight back… and we just made it Collected a counting board kit, which K was happy to claim as his, since it had arrived on his birthday then suddenly remembered that we were supposed to have been collecting some Freecycled CDRoms from a village near where we had been for Sport, so had to go back again *sigh*
Having driven that far (again) we decided we may as well stop at the NT place we went to the other weekend, as we were passing anyway, change and feed A and then go and play in the gardens for a bit. Got there and parked, then realised Bob had the family ticket; mine was out of date. So the children just ran round the park a bit while I fed and changed A and then we came home.

Did a bit of Maths and English and then crashed the computer trying to install one of the new CDRoms *sigh again* Finally got one of them to run and the children played that for a while, but K didn’t like the voice and it was too easy for J. L just wanted to help me, no matter what I was doing, and A went back to screaming again - seems to be all she wants to do the last few weeks, apart from the very occasional sunny patch

Ho hum.
