The day started with the kids joining me in bed. It was actually really lovely (mostly) although James kept playing with his willy (aren’t boys delightful) and then both kids tried to lick my face. Apparently it’s hilarious – you should try it.

The great self isolation bake-off, a cheeky singing lesson and garden games
James had a singing session with his preschool on Zoom. He really enjoyed it and I’m pretty sure he didn’t work out that none of his little buddies could hear all the cheeky things he was saying!
The day we went into double-lockdown
The kids were spying over the fence at the new neighbours and one was sunbathing. Cue Genevieve asking if she could “lie down in the sun like that lady over the fence”. This was said at full volume in the garden for all (including said woman) to hear. Classic.
The school holiday begins… but how do we tell the difference?
It feels as though the days are like a constant conveyor belt sometimes. But then, that’s how life is when you’re that small. One activity after another. Never ending. So glad I have lots of chocolate in the fridge.
Don’t put me in a box (unless it’s part of an epic box fort)
The BBQ was nearly a disaster. I had three open bags of charcoal with just the dregs left in the bottom – I foolishly lit the BBQ using only these dregs. Of course, all the small bits of charcoal just burnt through exceedingly quickly and left very little heat to cook on. What a rookie error!
Put another shrimp on the BBQ
Stephen was really thrilled when I hatched a plan to keep him upbeat during lockdown. Every Saturday has become BBQ day. He is so happy.
Friday funday – sort of…
And just like that (except not really), week 2 of home schooling was over. It is now theoretically the Easter holidays. Except I don’t think it’s going to feel any different.
Thursdays are not for the faint-hearted
Genevieve decided she wanted to write how to draw a rainbow. This small and fairly simple task turned into the challenge of my day. It was definitely akin to getting blood out of a stone.
April fools? Not us!
After lunch James had a preschool Zoom video meeting to sing songs. Trouble is 14 preschoolers don’t understand the idea of only one person talking at a time. Pretty entertaining to watch. The singing was enjoyed.
Broken scooters, pastel planets and sandwich instructions
It’s not quite tea time and I’m already considering opening the wine. It’s day 2 of week 2. I think I may be an alcoholic by the end of this!
