puddles and more...

Another busy week

Monday saw me at work and Alanna with a friend for the first time on her own. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy it and is still talking about it now.

Tuesday we got to the home Ed group meet up at JJs (local soft play place). Alanna was so excited she couldn't wait to get her shoes off - we haven't been for over 6 months and then have only been a total of 3 times previously! We have arranged to meet up with a couple of people and I am trying to arrange a few more meet ups on a one to one basis.

Wednesday came I drove 33 miles for a training with staff I work alongside, run by a trainer from the next door building to work, then 33 miles back again! Hopefully part 2 will be at work


Thursday we met a lovely local family for the first time having only spoken over the GP forum until then. We also discovered our children were born on the same day, same year just different towns!

Friday was a work/nursery day and Brownies.

On the way into nursery we heard a woodpecker so Alanna walked in doing woodpecker impressions much to the confusion of the staff! Alanna joined the Brownies going up the bell tower from the church next to the hall with the help of a Young Leader.

Today! - Saturday

Even busier!! and yet so much more rewarding!

We have made bread (again with bread maker)

hung out bird feeders

Alanna has done some maths (from an activity book)

The we went on a puddle walk and remembered the camera

All by 11am!

We then went shopping and came back to an indoor picnic - my Little girl was getting a bit tired by then so we had to have our luxury on our indoor picnic!

one of our guests!

This afternoon with the help of Grandad we have condemned our tv! The sound has gone for the last 2 weeks and when we tried the DvD freeview with the small portable it works fine. So the freeview box is now upstairs with the portable in my room. On the landing shelves are all our videos and DvDs.

Now where the Tv was is our new seasons table!! Which is currently quite big due to using the tv stand. So far it has a rainbow silk on it and a small bowl of blue glass nuggets to symbolise the puddles. When it looks a bit better photos will follow. Until then I just hope the cat has no interest in the table!
