ailbheToday we all got up, made beds, dressed, breakfasted, brushed teeth, and then did not very much. The children asked for Mousetrap, and it was still on the table at lunchtime, so they had pasta and ratatouille from a tin at their little table. Both of them did a lot of alphabet stuff - Linnea's in a Remarkably Cooperative Display phase today - and some number things. There was an accident on the rug and so I had to wash it; it's a multicoloured striped one from IKEA and I hope the machine doesn't damage it. I also hope it will be dry in the morning.
I spent a while painting the first of a series of curves on the girls' bedroom wall, with some extremely ancient and lumpy purple paint. I'll dig out another shade tomorrow, maybe, and do the next one. I prefer to finish off other people's paints than buy my own, for things like this; if the children were choosing their own décor I might make a proper plan and do things properly, but this is just me making things a little pleasanter for them without their particular interest or input.
I think that wall will have two shades of purple and two of blue. The one opposite the window needs a fresh coat of bright white, to reflect light around the room. And I think the room needs some little mirrors on the walls; perhaps some cheap bathroom cabinets would do, because they could also use some extra storage. I must think about it.
