Published as a raw dump of Wot We Done, because I can’t be arsed editing it now.

Laundry
Made beds
Kids brought wood in
Kids brought out farm and played in front of the fire
Checked drying rosehips; deseeding the driest ones. Kids tried a very dry one and decided they didn’t like it
Making more paper snowflakes and decorating them with sequins etc
 K: edited yesterday’s list, managed to read some of the words, wrote “Wednesday” at the top by copying it off H’s socks (lucky I got the right day then, hee). Now colouring in.
H played outside in the sand. Experimented with gouging out hunks of the gluestick into the bucket from the farm set. Demanded 7 or 8 times as much food as he actually ate when I gave it to him (we need chickens dammit).
Back to playing in the living room with the farm set – needed some adjudication when they argued over who got to sit on the upturned plastic tub in front of the fire.
Putting away all the laundry
K – making a boat out of busy box stuff, H playing with playdough
Modelling clay
Late lunch
Adventures in the garden
read lots of books, inc Beginnings and Endings (some discussion)
Tucked up under a blankie on E’s bed, watching the Goodies. H came out every now and again, but K stayed in there for the whole disc.
After discussion with H, I changed my mind about making Peasant Pie (again! Will I ever actually succeed in making it?) and made spag bol instead. Halfway through dinner, H indicated his rapidly-emptying plate and said, “Make this every time, I yuv it”, which happens to be exactly what he said last night about the nachos. It’s nice to be appreciated.
H was really tired, and K a bit erratic after all the movie watching, but we got H in bed with a bit of persuasion (taking the door handle off so he’d stay in one room long enough to realise he was knackered) and I read twice my usual stretch of Farmer Boy to K so we could finish it in time to take it back to the library tomorrow. Next stop, On The Banks of Plum Creek.
