Lazy Saturday

The kids are home this weekend and we’ve had a lovely day today. Even the migraine that started as soon as I woke, couldn’t put a dampener on the day.
The girls woke me around 8am and Aiden made me a coffee when I came downstairs before he went off to help with the paper collection at scouts.

Jason went off to work and we settled down for a pj day with the fire and lamps on to make it nice and cosy.
While I had breakfast, coffee and pills to try and get rid of the migraine, Kaycee and Ella played Monopoly Junior then we all had a game of Pictionary when Aiden came home.
I didn’t think Ella would be able to play but she was surprisingly good at drawing! One of the other team had to help her read and give her an idea of what to draw but still, I managed to guess quite a few of her drawings 🙂
It’s the first time I’d ever played and we all really enjoyed it.

Ant came home from work at lunch time and we spent a couple of hours just chilling until he had to go back to work.
Grandad bought Kaycee a book from the school book fair yesterday. It was an activity book and she wanted to make something out of it so we settled on cheese straws.
She followed the recipe and made them all herself, (with a little help from Ella!) measuring the ingredients, mixing, rolling and cutting the dough.
I had a small taste and they were delicious 🙂

We had dinner and daddy came home just as we were finishing up.
After he’d had his dinner, he helped Ella make a model of a shop which is the topic for next week in her class and then helped Kaycee with her shoebox fairytale scene for a competition she’s entering at her school.

This took up right up to 9pm and way past their usual bedtime!

My migraine didn’t go but it did get less intense after 6 ibuprofen (spread throughout the day, not all at once!) and I’m hoping a good nights sleep will see it gone in the morning.
