The sound of music, painting and rain rain rain!!!

Lauren with her art work ~ she refused to smile ~

Lauren painted this for me ~ some sunshine as it is raining outside!!!

The hills are alive.................

I have given up painting, cleaning and tidying for today, as the children have been moaning that they are bored and have nothing to do!!!

As usual, the Bank Holiday weekend has been wall to wall rain and we haven't done much at all (I do feel awful for the children that we have done so little, but this clear out desperately needed doing!!!). They are on school half term holiday this week anyway, so we have the whole week to do stuff!!!

I sat down and put on the TV and shock horror (another Bank Holiday tradition!!), The Sound Of Music is on (yippeeee!!!), so I am sat here glued to the screen. The children came in and moaned that they didn't want to watch it, but then DO RAY ME (or however you spell it ha ha), came on and now they are glued to it too lol!!!! We are having a family afternoon snuggled up on the sofa watching the sound of music ~ listening to the horrible rain outside!!

Lauren decided to do some painting earlier on (since I refused to let her hinder/help me!!). She did me some lovely paintings, but my favourite was of some sunshine, that she did just for me, as there was so much rain outside. She was still in a bad mood when I took the picture (still because I would not let her paint the bedroom!!), so she refused to smile. Last time I let her help, we ended up with more paint on the carpet than on the walls (tee hee!!).

I hope that we have some sunshine for the rest of the week, so that we can get out and about. I was hoping to do a treasure hunt in the garden and go for a picnic in the woods, both of which would be better without the rain. Better get back to the film, Lauren has just told me off for tapping while she is listening to it (and I thought I was the Mother!!!!).
