76. Sensory (Having spent the day in bed, completely drained and aching from a flu bug, I managed to drag myself downstairs and set up a light play box for The Boy. I used waterbeads and small submersible lights in plastic Easter eggs and The Boy had great fun playing with them.)
77. Eggy Sticks (We started decorating the polystyrene eggs I'd bought him for Easter. I put them onto kebab skewers as it makes them easier to paint without getting paint everywhere! It's taken all week to finish them off as we both fell ill with the flu bug and recovery has been very slow.)
78. Decay (I couldn't quite bring myself to throw out my dying tulips as the colours and shapes were gorgeous!)
79. Daddy Robot (Today was Mr. TBaM's birthday and The Boy was desperate to get him a robot costume, no easy task for an adult!)
80. Tired Eyes (We had to fly solo today as nanny, who had been looking after us all week, came down with the dreaded flu bug. I'm ashamed to say The Boy spent the day being entertained with the television, iPad or laptop. Dreadful parenting!)
81. 'Ear, 'ear (We set to making our Easter Bunny mask yesterday, as we'll be away in the week leading up to Easter.)
82. Speckled Egg (We finished off our Easter decoration eggs today, far from eggs-citing but I'm panicking about packing before our holiday tomorrow!)

I think the water beads are an amazing idea. Can't wait to try it when Thomas is older 🙂

Looks like you still managed lots of fun despite being poorly. Hope you are ll feeling a bit better now xx
Love your light box. I must do some new water beads, I have a box festering on a shelf somewhere…
nothing to feel guilty about entertaining the boy with the TV and gadgets – i have also had to resort to that a few time over the last 3 weeks . its not like its all the time is it??
lovely photos – those water beads and lights look like a lot of fun and i cannot believe MrTBaM was give a robot outfit lol
the eggs look pretty and very neat
hope youare both feeling better now x
Sorry you've all been poorly. We have too. You've still had a great week of photos. Love Mr TBaM's robot suit, and well done you for fulfilling the boy's wish. I love the exploded tulips, they are one of my favourite flowers and I love them most when they are teetering on the edge of decay and are at their biggest and most beautiful.
I think it's brilliant you still manage to do such wonderful things with The Boy even when you're poorly. I do hope you are recovered for Butlins!
I love the light sensory box I really want to try it, saw it on your Pinterest board
I love the light polaybox idea – going to have to try that one!!
No harm in having a tv day when you've been poorly..You do more with 'The BOy' than most do with their children!
Love the light play box – it's a nice idea. No shame in a TV day when one of both of you is ill. We did a bit of that this week too.
those beads look like great fun, you must let me know where to get them from
The light box looks brilliant. What a great idea. Hope you feel better soon.
The light sensory box is amazing. I've got to go and find out how you've done it now. The robot costume made me laugh. It's brilliant! Hope you're feeling better x
The poor boys ear, he looks so miserable in that PJ pic
I dont think one day with electronics to keep him amused will do any long term damage. Love the eggs you are making, they look brilliant.
lovely pics again. i am the same with flowers too, can't bare to chuck them out! enjoy your holiday and thanks for hosting xx
I hope you are well and truly recovered and ready for your holiday.
Every now and again it is perfectly acceptable (and necessary) to use the TV as a babysitter. Not bad parenting at all x
The waterbeads and lights look fantastic, we're going to have to try that sometime! Some lovely Easter craft photos there too.
The light sensory box looked amazing. Hope you're all better now 🙂
from H "why is daddy dressed as a robot?" (I explain why) "haha, I like that a lot! Can we get my daddy one?"
Love the light sensory box too!
I'm so sorry you've been unwell 🙁 Just popping over to read the light box post as I didn't get chance before. As always, your photos perfectly capture your week and I have to say that I LOVE the concentration on the boy's face!
xxxx
That light sensory box looks fab!! Must try that…
sorry you have not been well…..I've had it all week too and only just managing to catch up with some of the 365 posts
