Rubber band ball

Given the PhotoDirector treatment.

Rain, rain, rain all day. Children in the kitchen, microwaveable biscuits not great, so we baked most of the dough instead. Gingerbread men good. Lots of decorating ensued. One child kept turning the lights off. Darkness followed. A paper fight. Foiled wrapping paper being pulled apart like Christmas crackers. Fortunately I had a great team that cleaned away in the background.


Afternoon: slime mixture didn't gel. Wrong type of contact lens solution! Never mind, it was a chemistry lab session. Made squishies instead, aka flour bombs. (No one got flour bombed today). Water fight cancelled owing to prodigious amounts of rain. Kitchen almost emptied ( it's the last day of playscheme tomorrow). Had a brainwave regarding Steve's forthcoming birthday celebration.

Came home and slept. The father of the kids I was looking after last year phoned and said he'd be working mostly for himself from now on, so he wouldn't need me in September. I had known something was up, so it's a relief to know for sure, as it means I can start looking around.

Steve cooked the supper. Yay! He goes from strength to strength.
