“Sports day”
I got a "sports day" set from Asda the other day, it was at less than half price and looked good value for £3! So today we had Sports day! We had sack races (she won) we had egg and spoon races (50/50) and we had balance the beanbag on the head races (I won - her hair is too glossy!) Then we did beanbag toss, eggs and spoon tossing, who can throw the most things into a hula hoop, who could get most of themself into a jumping sack (picture the scene…. me trying to wriggle into a nylon sack designed for small children to sack race in….) Then I noticed that hte lavender needed pruning and spent an hour reducing that by a serious margin, and to those who say it doesn’t re-grow from the woody bit I say HUH? cos mine is!
Then we had lunch as they say…..
Then we went to the library for hte final bit of the Big Wild Read - got 2 more sets of stickers and a bookmark plus our ticket for the presentation evening when she will get hte medal and certificate presented by the mayor.
Whilst we were in town we nipped into The Works to see if they had got any paint in yet and came out with some rather posh felt tips for her which she has promised faithfully to keep in their case when not in use and scetch book for each of us. Did I mention I’m learning to draw? Hmm, I’d brace yourself for a few more comments on that over the next little while!
Then there was car washing and soaking with the hose and more general silliness (the car looking marginally clearner by the end!) and then Red Cross which was another bite at signing. She has now declared she wants to learn to sign so tomorrow I’m rummaging round the net for a decent video and book for us to learn with as I suspect it will go much easier with a video to watch rather than trying to work it out from a book!
