Productive days all around
After a very unproductive weekend, today somehow managed to be quite productive. Not sure how that happened; must try harder 
The kids did some work this morning - maths, geography, history, Latin, literacy… the usual things. They’re still enjoying The Weatherbirds
Scratchy also had a productive day - had new tyres fitted to the car, got his hair cut, had a root canal 8-O… When he got home he started to cook and I took Toby off for a bath, since between his snotty nose and his love of banana, he was fairly icky 
During dinner, George announced that he needed a poster and a model and … something else I can’t remember now - all for Cubs on Wednesday. The poster is easy enough - lots of stuff for artwork here! And I felt like a very organised mother when I was able to simply reach up to a shelf in the dining-room and pull down not one but four wooden dinosaur model kits 
Dinner was fairly early this evening, so afterwards I worked on one of those with George - the others want to work on them too, but they have many small pieces and require quite a bit of fiddling and gluing and so forth, so I said it would be better to do one at a time. Anyway, George’s is done, and I’ve suggested that Scratchy do one with Freddy tomorrow evening, since Beavers is cancelled and I’ll be going to a Scouting meeting.
After all that, Barney, George and Freddy headed off to ju-jitsu; they’ve just returned a few minutes ago. I’ve only talked to Freddy so far (I’m lying in bed nursing Toby) and he didn’t have a good time. Apparently he got kicked in the head and in the ear and also managed to hurt his hand on the car while getting out (I heard that wail from the driveway!)
They’re now all downstairs, apparently doing something very secretive with Scratchy. Wonder if it’s got anything to do with tomorrow being Valentine’s Day
