A sad day (in Harry Potter)

We started the day (before breakfast in K and my case) with Harry Potter in bed, including the sad death of K's favourite character, Dobby.  The day was interspersed with more chapters while K & M kept their hands busy with various activities such as making crafty things or playing with trains.

K finished the crafty thing she's been working on for the past couple of days this morning (while I was reading more Harry Potter of course!).  It was based on this idea from 50 Fairy Things to Make & Do:

However, K gave it a pirate twist, because, as she said pirates 'are much more me' than fairies.  She was particularly pleased with the pirate's freckles.

M made and coloured in some paper dolls (they were all joined up, but she decided to separate them).  To give an idea of size, they're on top of a standard sized envelope, so really quite diddy!

M got the Monopoly out for the first time in ages and we had a game which ended in M & K ganging up on me (M overpaid K hugely near the end, so she'd have more money) because I was winning!  K's mental arithmetic, in working out change seems to have improved quite a bit since we last played.
