While i was at work yesterday (yes, yes, i really just like saying that!) Max and the girls did some (rather a lot!) of work on the classification of animals. I’m not quite sure what brought it on but when i got home, this is what they were up to. Max looking his flu-ey best. […]

How the blooming heck did all this ever fit in my house?!?!?!?!?!?! The Hama Beads, desk and (ahem) admin area, plus packing tables. (You would not believe how happy those packing tables made us! The Corolle Dolls, Wonderworld, Aqua beads, The Bead Shop, Great Gizmos and Alex Crafts section. More Hama Beads and the Fimo […]

They appear to have had a fabulous time, listing learning to play Pool (Poole?) and cake among the highlights. Josie had a lovely time with the cousins and all the issues seem to be receding between […]

We had our hallways painted this week, a luxury that 2 people scared of heights can view as a necessity; besides, if not, we wouldn’t have got it done, hall, stairs and landing painting with 4 kids in situ would not work! So the papa of some local HE kids did it for us – […]
