www.flickr.com Today’s Puddler group was on Dinosaurs – as usual it was excellent – this week we had 23 paying children and probably around another 10 small people – it is just morphing into my ideal group. It’s pleasant to be at, the facilities are excellent and everyone seems really committed to making it happen. […]

Todays plan was to bake first thing, then go over to Tammy’s house to share their science day. I was really looking forward to it, so were the girls. Unfortunately, the day didn’t quite go to plan. Max has had a cold for a year, as it turns out it’s an allergy, but last night […]

I totted up our “field trips” this year; including camps and our local groups (once a month-ish) we’ve had 46 different events this year – things outside the normal run of events that have had some social/educational feel to them. Not bad really, considering i anticipated a quiet, post-baby year. We seem to be in […]

The girls have quite a lot of curiosity about why some of their friends dress differently and today answered a lot of their […]

9.30 Arrive at vets, 6 miles south of our house, to drop the inaptly named Smartie off to have his masculinity removed. 10am Try to find a parking space in town, having driven back 4 miles into town. 10.15 Dash home to grab piriton and juice for Amelie. 10.30 Go a bit west to visit […]

Conversation between Me, Fran and Maddy, following this mornings trip to the Mosque. Me: So, what did you think of that then? Would you like to be a Muslim? Fran: No, i just like being myself. Maddy: You can’t be a Muslim, you’re going to be a Archaeologist. Hmm… i think they may have missed […]

I’ve wasted this weekend really, i’d planned to do loads with Maddy but it hasn’t happened. She’s been quite happy though, floating about in her HESFES hoodie and a skirt Kate gave her, which along with her new hairstyle makes her look loads older. *wail* She’s really risen to the role of oldest in the […]
