Alice's art

Alice has a little art blog she keeps so I thought I'd share.

Music kinda day!

All sorts of music being played here today, it doesn't get any better than listening to your child create.






Then this is the face you get when it doesn't go to plan!

Friends are good!

We as a family have some hermit tendencies - there I've said it!

It's only when you go to things you realise that friends really are very important to you and that life would be less enjoyable without them.

We went to a children's party today and had a really fab time it was traditional and lovely and the grown ups had just as much fun as the kids.

Thanks to those involved you made my day!

Book recommendation

Alice has been reading these books and loves them! I have been so impressed, initially by the message within the books and secondly by how much they contain. There is the story (obviously) and then within each chapter there are hidden codes and an associated website to enter them in and then there are linked quizzes, crosswords and word-searches. The cover artwork is also very lovely.

Best Dinner

Well the eldest and the youngest members of our family are out for the night! The rest of us wondered what we could eat?? I thought, I know I'll knock up some onion bhajes and bulgar wheat. It was absolutely delicious! In the bulgar wheat were onions, peppers, spinach, grated carrot and pine nuts, sounds simply you may think but so lovely! I did consider taking a photo but I was starving and the thought of rummaging around for the camera didn't seem like a good one :o)

Royal Institution

We had a home ed visit to the Royal Institution recently and was so impressed. They have a new lab that is used for educational workshops. The girls really enjoyed it and looked like real scientists!!

Classroom - no thanks!

Why would you want to sit in a classroom when you can dig in the mud??
