A poorly day and some catch up.

I forgot to mention as well as the preparation for their production of Pyramus and Thisbe, K, M & C also found time to put on another little play.  They used the face paints that C had brought with her to paint the characters on their hands and made up a story about a girl, a spider and four aliens.  The green alien was a baddy who was trying to take over the universe and had two of the other aliens under an enchantment, unfortunately for him, him was scared of spiders, so it all worked out in the end, the enchantment was broken, the girl married an alien, with the spider for a bridesmaid and an alien for a priest!

 After a very busy holiday, the excitement of the sleepover and the business of putting on a play, I thought that M was just overtired when told me she wasn't feeling very well.  It seems that C wasn't feeling too well either and both of them had a sore throat and grottiness, so it more than just being exhausted.  M spent the vast majority of the day snuggled up on the sofa, either reading to herself, with me reading to her and K (we've finally finished the Gemma series by Noel Streatfeild) or watching telly or dvds (David Attenborough and Bagpuss - separately!). 

On book 2 of the Charlie Bone series.

I popped out to take K to her piano lesson and do a bit of shopping while she was there, while M watched David Attenborough.  By this evening, M was feeling better enough to want to go to korfball, but still grotty enough to moan only half-heartedly at not getting to go.
