Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today

I know, I know... its been a while since I added anything.
We've been up to lots recently.
Last week we went Sir Harold Hillier Gardens with friends. We joined a lovely story session and Alanna made a 'tall story' which has finally made it to the seasons table which is looking a little bear at the mo. Alanna and her Friend, Will, recognised silver birch trees and Will spotted a eucalyptus. they have some lovely artwork in the garden at the moment which was tried out by the children!


We've been in the Ranger holiday this week at Foxlease, in the New Forest. The girls had a brilliant time with a Peter Pan theme. Activties included archery and raft building, a couple of wide games which meant climbing in through windows and dressing as burglars, and a lovely campfire - completly done by the girls. Alanna loved having all the attention, particularly on the last morning as she seemed to be the only one who could get them moving! Oh, and she also mad efriends with a duck!
yesterday was spent mainly unpacking and tidying.
Today has been brilliant and I think Alanna has tired her brain out!
After nursery this morning she came home to help open the post. We had received our RSPB pack which included Alanna's bits as a wildlife explorer. She has a personal organiser, which includes paes on what you can spot each month, a diary, an address book and stickers! In her magazine there was something to make which showed which birds come out ant night and which during the day. Cut and stick pictures on the same theme, and a story. Very impressed. We received the Wildlife trust stuff yesterday and there is so much going on over the next few months I don't think I'll get much sleep between shifts!

We have also made banana bread - successfully! First time I have ever made bread without the breadmaker and it worked!! Very tasty as well.
Oh and we finished our hot air balloon. This was made after our outing to Balloons over Basingstoke. Alanna loved the day, particularly when Thomas the tank engine was inflated! Apparently they don't use it much due to its size.

Don't know what we are doing this weekend, will wait and see!
