Playing with gifts

While Max and Zebedee went cycling, Gulliver and I made a stuffed elephant from a sewing kit from my Mum, then we spent 2 hours playing with his Wizard kit Zebedee gave him for Christmas, much bicarb of soda and acid was used to make various colourful frothing and fizzing magic spells!!!! A lovely afternoon!
Although it was lovely I have a lump in my throat at how time is passing so fast and how much of this stuff I miss being away most weekends....

Thanks for all the supportive remarks! I went on to read 4 chapters of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock's How To Train Your Dragon and assemble and play the Lego game SHAVE A SHEEP, over compensating much?
