Very sunny beach day.
As we are now close to the beach, it’s rather a draw for small visitors, so a beach trip was in order for Saturday. It took the adults (namely me!) a while to get going, so it was nearly lunchtime by the time we headed out, but we took fruit and water, crisps and sun…
Science in the sun.
Today we had a day round at WF house planned, with added science experiments. So I got up at 8 to sort out contribution to bring and share lunch, as well as sorting out washing and so on. In the end my lunch contribution was courtesy of the coop, I am always somewhat uninspired, and…
That exciting day 🙂
Began with a little more excitement that I’d had planned, when the phone rang and it was WF (will just have to borrow that for now) saying that she’d heard on the radio that the road was blocked so there was no point in setting out just yet. Bother. There isn’t really another way around,…
A quieter day
with a return to funking on my part. Started with the delivery of the final part of my Amazon order, Understanding English – Spelling for Key Stage 2 for Big. She glanced at it and discarded it, as they were still engrossed in the Spiderman set. Ah well. Spelling was on her list of wishes,…
A day of deliveries, outings and swimming.
Am attempting to drag myself out of bed slightly earlier in a morning, which is working in terms of less friction between the children, but isn’t doing my energy levels much good. I’m really tired all the time! But there you go. Anyway, got up to find that the parcel from Amazon had arrived, containing…
Some much needed socialisation
for me! The children attend Brownies and Beavers, and on Tuesday Big starts swimming lessons. I offer a variety of other opportunities to get out and about, and they take me up on walks to the beach, library outings, shopping. They aren’t much into groups though, which means I don’t get to spend all that…
And an entertaining evening
But before we get there, details of the shopping spree I undertook this afternoon 🙂 Courtesy of the book ppl, I ordered Usborne Internet-Linked French for Beginners with CD, French club, Hide and Speak French (Hide & Speak) (which comes with a collection of activity books, looks a bit young, but Small does like activity…
going north again
on Weds I took the children to Sainsbury’s and got all the bits that we needed for the wedding that we didn’t already have, apart from some black shoes for Small. As he was not in a cooperative mood, I wimped out of going into town town and came home, thinking that we would have…
Beach hut is the way to go.
We finally met up with a local home educator, and by that I mean that there is someone else who home educates who lives within walking distance. Wow. I’m not sure we’ve ever been in that situation before. Well, I suppose technically we could have walked to Kirsty’s from old house, but I wouldn’t have…
Expensive day
With Big due to go to Brownies tonight, thought I ought to go out and get her something different for her footwear than the boots she’s been wearing all winter. As she’s usually very quick to tell me if there’s a problem, I really wasn’t expecting to be told that her feet had grown a…
