Chocolate OD

Even though the Easter Bunny did not come (he left out the eggs from Nanna and Pa though) we are still wading through chocolates here. I am having to eat them all just to get rid of them!!

People are so shocked when I tell them the EB didn’t come and that TV has been off for a week. I tell you, we have had the best weekend and it was due to the fact that the girls had to play with each other and not stare at the screen.

Things we acheived – I taught Holly how to skip rope, tie her shoes, bead a bracelet and fold her clothes properly.
I taught Meg how to write some letters of the alphabet, post letters, bead a bracelet, make her bed properly and play with jess without fighting.
Haven’;t really taught Jess anything – her brain is like a seive.
We had a couple of picnics, played outside a lot, rode our bikes around the lake (twice), and played board games after dinner. I love it how the girls did not once ask to watch TV because they knew the boundries. They are starting to listen to me, well mostly, and play nicely with each other. It is quite amazing. I’m definately sticking to the no TV rule for awhile longer.

We went to a wedding on Easter Sunday and the couple were 25yrs old. The seemed like such kids! I was the same age when we got married and I still feel really young, but they LOOKED IT. I wish them well!

Amy is pulling herself up to standing position and getting stronger on her feet. She had immunization last week and has been a shocker in the night ever since. What am I saying?? She has always been a shocker in the night. I can’t wait till the day that I don’t have to get up to any kid anymore. When oh when will that be!

This is all a bit over the place, but I haven’t have internet for a few days and I have so much to do. Just remembered cake in the oven that is probably a cinder by now. Bugger.

  2. Wow – no Easter Bunny, that’s impressive, I thought you’d give in… glad to hear YOU got some chocolate over the weekend though!

  3. I love reading your blog Fran and finding out what those girls of yours have been up to, it always seems to put a smile on my face.

    Love Pen

  4. Fabulous that you and the girls have achieved so much without TV. Isn’t amazing how much can get done when suddenly there is no main distration.

    I totally relate to the night time lack of sleep issue. My Amanda had me suffering serious sleep deprivation for years. I feel for you Fran.

    As Amy gets older I hope she learns to sleep better xxoo

  5. Just to let you know I’m still reading your blog. Glad life is humming. Hope Amy settles down though.
    See ya soon.
