Continuing in my theme of always being behind, here is a round up of the crafts we ended up having fun with for St Patrick’s Day. We did manage to find out a bit about the real story too, mostly because Amelie uttered the importal #homeedfail sentence….. “What’s that story about St Patrick and the […]
Daffodils at WedEd
Wednesday this week marked a a big improvement in things generally. Not only was I able to drive myself to WedEd or the first time since having Ben but he was also manageable enough for me to be able to get on with being part of the educational offerings again.So this week I brought “Daffodils” […]
Mothers Day Card Crafts
This year I thought it would be good to reclaim Mother’s Day, given that last year it was right up there with one of the saddest ‘ignore it’ days of the year. I know the girls and Max found it hard to know how to deal with it. Given I’m also trying to get back […]
St Patrick Day craft.
One or other of the children pointed out that with rainbows and green as his theme, we should have called Ben Patrick instead. I did try, but no one would have it at the time 🙂 Today I wanted to do something crafty with the girls and got as far as pulling out some inspiration, […]
Christmas Camp 2011
I’ve got a group of friends who I met online when Maddy was tiny, using now wildly outdated ways of connecting with like-minded souls such as yahoo groups (before Facebook and Twitter, imagine!). They became real life friends remarkably quickly. We did our first camp together, some of us, when Amelie was 4 months old […]
Fimo Christmas Penguin Tutorial
Josie had a belated birthday party this week with her friend BB. I’m a bit of a party failure and Josie was always going to be upstaged by BB’s amazing playable Angry Birds cake, but I made her some Fimo penguins to go on a (oh the shame) bought cake and she was very delighted […]
I'd have got away with it too…
Now we are back in the swing of daily ‘normals’ work, which always leads for a happier household, we’re getting much more done in general. I like it when we swing back into these productive periods of time; even doing sensible if slightly boring stuff first thing in the morning tends to make the day […]
French/Science/Latin/Poetry/English Day
We might need to come up with a catchier title for this. This is now a very long time ago in my head, so I’ll keep it properly brief. We reformed for an ad hoc day of trying out some new things and a different way of getting the kids together to enjoy some education […]
History Day – the Greeks
I am so far behind on educational record keeping it isn’t true. I’ve got at least several nice days to write up, so you’ll just have to take it as read that in between times, they’ve also been doing ordinary stuff, Mathletics etc etc. Music lessons have happened, trampolining been done, ballet exams got through, […]
Out and About
In conversation with friends the other day, I realised I have become a bit of a recluse in some way, possibly a little bit pathetically so. It isn’t that we don’t go out, we do – we see plenty of people and the girls do everything they should and want to – but I’ve stopped […]
