Good Morning everyone (or afternoon, or evening, or night)
Today is the first day of Little Red's half term
He wasn't well over the weekend.
Just a stomach bug nothing serious.
It did mean he didn't to go to a birthday party or go and stay at his Granny & Granddads.
To cheer him up and use some of his Christmas money we decided to buy him:
Skylanders!
We bought it for the wii as we already have one
and it would give him something to play over the holidays as well.
Problem one - if he gets stuck he then wants mummy and daddy to play it whilst he watches.
Second big problem - daddy is addicted to the game!
Third big problem - you can't play parts of the game unless you have other characters - which cost quite a bit each.
I will say this for the games developers they are very clever!
It is a fantastic way to make money.
We didn't get up to much this weekend.
a) I'm not fit to do much
b) Ryan was ill so needed to look after him.
I did have the table set-up to do our first crafting today with
an idea of my own.
I was so excited but Little Red says he doesn't want to do that yet he wants to play.
Oh well as soon as he's in the mood we'll give it a go and post some pictures.
I did have a fantastic weekend of giveaways
