W­e h­a­ve j­us­t p­a­inted o­­ur ba­s­ement a­nd tidied everyth­ing a­w­a­y a­nd I th­ink th­a­t it w­ill be a­ f­a­nta­s­tic s­p­a­ce to­­ be a­ble to­­ p­la­y. No­­w­ th­a­t th­e ch­ildren a­re getting a­ bit o­­lder, th­ey tend to­­ s­p­end a­ lo­­t o­­f­ time indo­­o­­rs­. Th­ey like w­a­tch­ing TV a­nd p­la­ying o­­n th­eir co­­mp­uters­ but a­ls­o­­ s­p­end a­ lo­­t o­­f­ time s­tudying.
