Hoping my energy will return in time.. Asha is happy, and is still meeting with friends, and getting to her group. Just without mummy.

Life goes on..

I am sore, battered and frustrated once more.. The trusty chariot, is going to be making some more tours i feel the next few weeks, and i am sad, because i had hopped i was managing my disability better..

OUCH!

Asha on the other hand, has had a reminder of why mummy cant do stuff, as today and yesterday she has been fetching carrying, and on the whole HAVING to behave herself.. and as always, she has been GREAT at being my little Angel…

She has even cleared up her toys before bed.. and helped sort her room out, with a friend, so she now has a double bed we can both sleep in, in her room! Her idea!

This week the fun day was Knights and Princesses. Being slightly insane, we decided to challenge each other to wear a dress. I decided to wear my wedding dress, and D found a lovely purple dress to wear.

At Penrhyn Castle Fun Day

Not perfect enough for my little girl, she also got picked out to help Bimbamboozle to do his magic, which even tonight – she is talking about, and saying how wonderful he is, and how funny it was when he changed a nappy… so yet another picture coming up..

Them knots

We also went around the castle, and looked at the play room, and spent some time looking at the big trains in the old stable blocks..

Great fun.

Who was I to argue with a 4.5 year old?

Brush brush.. Mop Mop!

Anyone fancy joining us?   Were not THAT scarey… Honest!

I think its going to be FANTASTIC!

Instead we wrapped up warm, and stayed at home. Asha has done some play with her toys, watched some videos with daddy, and played on the cbeebies web site.

One of the games is to make a model village, doing point, click and drag operations with the mouse. This is the result of her first attempt of this. I am very impressed!

My First Town.

So what did she do today then? This morning she and I read a few dozen books in my bed. Whilst eating Stollen, and drinking coffee..

After lunch.. cold meats and cheese, I did a bit of nothing, whilst she played with her toys in the lounge, and generally used up her energy. If only I had 1/20th of her energy, I would feel human..

After a while, Steve and I finally agreed to help her make her gingerbread house, which Granny had bought for her. It is now sitting proudly in the corner of the “living” room – we must decide on a name for this room!

After she had completed this mammoth task, which I was really impressed with her concentration throught, off she then did a bit of jumping around untill eventually she asked me for something interesting to do again. I supplied her with christmas cards to decorate.

So far she has done 6, she has about another 5 to do I think!

This evening, Asha asked me if every week after Wednesday she could have two days at home, as she enjoys it. I would like to myself.. I wonder if we can do it?

I “should” get some pics up of her creation soon.

Anyway today we had a lazy day. I didnt get much sleep lastnight, so didnt make it over to Fords again, or to swimming in portmadog.

We did eventually get to Pwhelli this afternoon however to get some jobs done we were going to do on Thursday. This leaves Thursday nicely clear for us, which is great. As I hope to pick some boxes up tomorrow, and pack them. and then do some more on Thursday.. We may do a trip through to Bangor on Thursday to sign paperwork as well… No us excited.. really…

Asha has played outside.. done some maths with daddy, and drawn a lovely picture today for me. She also sat and watched the roal dahl video with me again, played with her teddys, been out for lunch, and chosen which items to buy for ff for her birthday. Only home edd kids at age 10 would want plates wouldnt they!… O.k. not quite “plates” but willow patten plates, cos they collect them!

Oh well thats sorted, so hopefully now, all we have to do is wrap them, make lunch for S and A tomorrow, and I can get to bed soon, as i am sitting here exhausted.

Friday afternoon- was spent at a home edd friends. There was 5 children aged 4 – 12, playing at halloween games. They all had a lovely time, playing at ghosts and trying to see who could make the most noise.

They played catch with balloons and basically enjoyed them selves. On the way home we talked about halloween and how it was the day the souls travelled along the earth, and that Saturday was all saints day.

As it was J and K’s wedding aniversary today, Asha also made them a card.

Asha went trick and treating with her friends in the village. She really enjoyed herself. She then had a bath, and having drunk some bath water, was sick.. Silly girl. She slept well though.

Saturday. We didnt do swimming, as Asha still has a bit of a cold, so we just chilled out really. Asha did some reading with me, and we read a load of halloween type books. We Also did some painting, and Asha played with the two little ones next door, as the weather was surprisingly mild. So she played on the trampoline, bikes and generally did what kids do.

Sunday – another day at home. Asha did her normal morning routine and then we also made a book about the food colourings we tested with coffee papers a few days ago. We also made a weather clock for one the kitchen wall.

This morning in bed, Asha and I played around with days of the week and there sequence, we also did some fun games about months. April is the month for snow, and christmas is in February.. didn’t you know that! NO mummy.. April is your birthday, and Christmas is in December mummy!

We also talked about the term “dont” this is because when ever I say to Asha.. Dont do.. something she does it anyway :d

Asha enjoyed playing with about 15 kids in next doors garden tonight as well. We let her have a late night, as all the kids were out playing. Exhausted she went to bed, just with daddy reading to her tonight.

She also made a

After running around outside and riding there bikes they came inside and took over the living room. Blankets out and tucked in they sat and watched some camberwick green for a while, whilst playing with the fuzzy felts I finally got out of the loft yesterday for Asha. You would think it was some really expensive present the amount she has been playing with them. I love toy rotations!

They then found all her toy cars – also just out of the loft, and once again they played and played so for about 4 hours today I have had three children aged, 2, 3 and 4 playing in our front room. And they were so happy!
