The Scream. (school questions added) in Summertime, and the living is easy... 2015

I would like to apologise for my scream last weekend; it was unprofessional and the kind of thing that pisses me off on Facebook but I needed to let it out somewhere other than directly at my darling children.

By the end of Sunday they found themselves banned from screens for two weeks and it went a day at a time..!

We’ve had a lovely day today, we went on a bike/roller blade ride (Lila and Talaia respectively) which involved Talaia deciding to go downhill, steeply downhill, at full speed. She shrieked with glee as she went!

We went to town to pick up Lila’s new glasses and her new baby doll that she paid for with money that she’s been saving. On top of that Talaia needed new school trainers.

And for girly night, obviously a movie was out since they’re banned from screen time so I printed out a list of questions to get your kids talking about school and we took turns to choose and ask.

Questions such as “which one of your teachers would survive the zombie apocalypse and why?”as well as “if an alien spaceship came, which of your classmates would your want be taken away by it and why?”. We had loads of fun with it 😊

However, last week, this is how I felt.

*edit. I’ve been asked about the school questions so here goes.
