Isa hosted a Christmas crafts morning the other day. We had Rosie, Teo, and Isla around to work with Lola and Neve making snowmen out of polystyrene and glitter and cotton wool and stuff.
It went pretty well.

christmas musings
Isa was pondering yesterday how we might do Christmas differently and avoid the terrible round of present-buying and other nefarious spending that we manage so badly and which promotes stress, guilt and whatnot.
The obvious solution is, er… Not obvious. Perhaps it’s all about expectation management (yes, I’ve had too much contact with project managers) and we should tell everyone next year that we’re not doing presents and that we don’t expect to receive any.
throwing up
Neve has contracted some random throwing-up disease. Every couple of days, she throws up once or twice. And she’s been complaining of an ouchy belly quite a lot.
She is remarkably good at throwing up: that is, she is not freaked out by it and just gets her bowl, throws up in it and then goes back to playing, or goes back to sleep. She does need someone to appear with a wipe to perform ablutions, but that’s it.
It has been going on for three or four weeks now, though. I wonder might it be symptomatic of something else.
