Better, but still taking it easy.

M is pretty much back on form today, although given the weather (sleet and snow but not settling on and off all day) we were happy to stay in for most of the day.  M really didn't want to go out at all, but didn't have a choice late afternoon as we needed to take K to her ballet lesson and buy some milk.

Both K & M got crafty this morning.  K decided to make something out of Fairy thing to make and do, which I have been allowed to take a photo of, but not post it here yet.  M took inspiration from Christopher, her most loved cuddly toy, as you can see!

We not only continued but finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.  It was really quite difficult to continue at times, as I got quite choked up.  K shed tears as well, but didn't seem to get too distressed though.  We then watched the film and talked about some of the differences between the book and the film.  This evening we started on the final book, which I imagine will be our primary focus for the next week or so!

In other news, while she wasn't prepared to tell a stranger what she'd learned about fractions, K was happy to tell Daddy this evening and showed that she had remembered and had a pretty good grasp of what we'd covered earlier in the week.
