So R spent the weekend at home with M and D and I gather it was mostly on computer games. Hubby picked her up after lunch. Dinner was my choice this time of fish pie.
There's been a mixture of computer and inactivity together with activities, like our art gallery visit where we saw life size people made with transparent sellotape, we did this a long time ago when E needed an underwater helmet for a fancy dress costume and just that big bowl shape was tricky so I was really impressed by the whole people shapes.
R has had a drumming lesson and drama group rehearsals for a performance next week.
We've done a bit of shopping for clothes and books.
Shorts for if it's hotter and rain coat for if it's wetter.....
can you tell I was a boy scout, be prepared and all that lol.
She had a read in bed last night and is in bed reading now (10:30am) and will no doubt finish the whole book today, lucky we bought two. Then I think she has three more to complete the series (think we'll order on Amazon as Smith's is far more expensive but she couldn't wait.
There's also been a little of this....

Those sellotape sculptures are amazing. I wonder how they were made?
i googled :-). Not keen after reading "1 Subject model – You can use yourself or a friend. I would encourage you to use a mannequin head in place of your own. Wrapping your head in plastic wrap is dangerous."

We used a balloon for E's costume at a Beans "under the sea party"

Don't like the idea of using a real head either and they do with plaster if paris too which gets very hot and takes a good time to harden so they stick straws in mouth and up noses so the model can breathe.....all in the name of art lol
Plaster of Paris is very dangerous (don't click on link if you're squeamish) http://www.theguardian.com/education/2009/oct/12/girl-loses-fingers-school-art
I'm very squeamish so I'll just take your word for it.
You get the gist from the link text.
