Doyouthinkeesaurus?

Morning begins with the usual weekend game of fetch the Monst from Faz. Feed the boy and myself and then settle into to doing his homework. A bit of maths, a bit of spelling and some reading. We read 'Land of the Dinosaurs' from the Oxford Reading Tree. This then leads us to the decision that today is a day for seeing dinosaurs and I don't mean Led Zeppelin! Result is we head to the World Museum in town. A quick hour of muscular christianity then! Along the way we nip to Curry's, do the dirty deed and purchase a replacement washing machine which as ordered matches the tumble dryer (Monst assures me that this is important). The transaction is completed by 10:56 which I figure is good going considering Curry's don't open 'til 11:00.

Home and to assist with the Crimble present Disney Trivial Pursuit we watch 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which seems to have more than its share of questions in the thing. Dunno if it's me but Johnny Depp sounds pissed throughout the thing.

Fetch crumpets and croissants for the Faz ICU's new year's breakfast as ordered and get prepared for this year's Hootenanny!

Round the Bend

Yay! No spelling homework for Cal, which means no major homework grief for me. Instead we have the delights of the Oxford Reading Tree and tales of Dad, Mum, Biff, Chip, Kipper, Wilf, Wilma and Floppy. Reading I like... mind you I would doing what I do. Cal makes his own breakfast so I kind of dread venturing into the kitchen post homework. Still it needs a good seing to anyway. Furl the news and relax. Cal was given 'Round the Bend' a game of plumbing that the Early Learning Centre are punting out at the moment. Maybe it'll encourage youngesters into the trade, they'll be making a mint if they do.... Still it is a game of some strategy and the swine beat me.
