After I picked them up at lunchtime, they were super motivated so set about cleaning the car inside & out, cleaning their rooms, baking (they were going to make gingerbread men but after mixing up the dough couldn't find the cutters so made their own shapes) then they went through Ella's drawers & wardrobe together and got rid of all the clothes that she didn't fit/want.
That was followed by them watching all their old dancing concert dvd's and dressing in the costumes and dancing around. They've had a very busy day and haven't fought once!
Finally they spent a good hour playing with the lego!

Now they are watching a movie peacefully together. I love days like these!
