wrong order again - grrrrrr

Just when I think I know what I am doing with blogger it all goes pearshapd. I cant get photos in the right order at all - the previous post has all the wrong info with the wrong photos so this time I am not even going to try you can just play a mix and match game and work out which photo I am talking about :)

This week Meg has decided she can manage steps - I keep finding her halfway up the stone steps to the garden room - she is fast too! and next minute she will be at the bottom of the main stairs standing and only holding on with one hand - she is growing up too quickly. She and ben had fun with an empty cardboard box - free toys are always the best. Ben got very excited when i said it was time to go to his dance class - he was getting his own black ballet shoes and couldnt wait. Meg and Sophie had fun at a party yesterday - Meg cleaned the village hall floor and Sophie stuffed a teddy. I tried to nick a sandwich from the party tea but Meg took it out of my hand and ate it.

The children love a 'sharing tray' for lunch and/or tea - saves on waste as they can pick what they want - was impressed at how relatively healthy this one was - Sophie made it.







Catch up

Phew what a week - had the children off school Mon/Tues and told Mum not to come so she didnt catch it as she is away this weekend and I didn't want her to miss out by being poorly. Not too disorganised considering I didn't have her help but absolutely exhausted :) Sophie and I had fun with the new candy floss machine I have bought to use at the playgroup spring fair - can safley say it was a hit with Sophie.
Sophie helped me make Yorkshire puddings on Sunday - John was away at the races all day so when we got back from church I rushed around trying to get a roast together - Sophie is so helpful and great company too.
Thomas was really proud of this lego model - he wanted his picture taken to send to the lego magazine - but when he saw it he didn't like how he looked so made me take it again without him in it - no matter how many times I say how fantastic he is he still has low self esteem.

Sophie helped in the kitchen again on Monday - she made everyone's lunch - tuna sandwichs - and yes she is wearinbg a nightie cos she was off school sick - Thomas was worse but as she wasn't 100% and the weather was awful she stayed off too.
