I have been very lazy lately skipping on activities with the kids in favour of reading stories to them . And I have been reading and reading - close to one or two stories to each kid every day.Liyana rejects big stories but Tania is OK with Liyana's age stories. but I know she should be listening to more complex ideas.I am fascinated by factual books like Tell me why and this is reflected in my reading to Tania- but maybe it is not the right thing for her. She should be reading big books herself and that would solve my dilemma.but she continues to read Arthur's baby and such kindergarten stuff. In the meantime some activities are going on side by side:

matching colours with paint chips from a Paint retail shop- collected when purchasing paint - we painted the whole house by our self and saved a few thousands in labour charges
Who would have thought I would come to enjoy cooking - anything for kids. At least twice a week I end up baking something for the kids and they love to help me - both of them and when both want to do the same thing at the same time it more nuisance than help of course.
