It always pays to ask a few questions...

Harry Came in to the room Crying

Harry-"Charlotte Shut the door on me"

Mark-"And Why would she do that"

Harry "Because I was going to throw my truck at her"

Mark "You WAS going to throw the truck"

Harry "Yes she ran away and shut the door on me"

We tried to stay strong but we had to laugh!!!

2 at school and one that still naps, What more could I want!!!

After a week of 9-12 Harry started full days. He came home with this in his book pouch, which I thought was a nice little touch!

(sorry about the quality scanner problems)

Wow 7!!!!

Charlotte was 7 this month,

This was the 1st year she was at school for her birthday and she had to wear the Birthday hat which is a big hat with candles on....I saw her briefly as I was picking up Harry from his half days she looked quite cute.

She came home from school and had a visit from some of her family and then after diner we took her to see some more.

She had some good craft some and won't need clothes for along time!!!

So thanks to all and Yes Helen thank you card arrived on time and no charges LOL

Quest Seekers

Charlotte and Harry received there Medals and certificate this week for the summer team read challenge. Charlotte read 6 books in six weeks and Harry chose 6 books to be read to him, This is a great way to help Charlotte to concentrate on reading 1 book and not trying to read 3 at once because she is bored and It helps Harry to get into the spirit of reading, he loves being read to so will hopefully love to read as much as then rest of us.



The Challenges were all to do with a group of kids and their adventures with a dragon.

Each week when the child had gone into the library to say about their book they were given a new puzzle to do and hand back the next week, they collected stickers and they coloured in a Marker,in the shape of a book, this was then stuck on the poster on the library wall and the children got to move it as they moved up the scale.

No School today :(

Just got to say Harry has took himself back to bed this morning after I told him he did not have to go to school today.....wonder how long this will last!

Harrys 1st Day At School!!!!

Well Here we go again, I've let it slip again, The holidays are now over and I have blogged nothing!!!!

So let's start from today!

My LITTLE boy has started school,

He is only 4 years 3 months which I think is very young, Charlotte was 5 years and 5 days when she started , but I guess there will always be a big gap in the years there has to be a start and stop line somewhere.

He was like a whole new boy, He looked Smart, older and was calm pleasant and rather shy, for anyone who knows Harry this was a little out of character, but when we got in he went off to play as the teacher said they could , which was good.

When we picked him up at 12 (he is doing 1/2 days till the 21st) he was happy and chatty and by the time we got him home he was back to his old boisterous self.

I'm back!!!!!

Wow it has been a good 2 months and I've had no Internet :( I have missed it sooooo much, I have been nipping to the library for the odd log on but that is hard with 3 kids and one is only 22 months.



Hope everyone is well, I have been trying to catch up with everyone.



Kids are now on summer holidays, Charlotte finished school with an excellent report as did Harry from nursery, Charlotte got her medal and certificate for the fun run, she was the only girl in the under 8s to do 2 laps which made it about 2.5 miles and she did it in 45 min.(I should mention Mark did this with her).
No more Major accidents so far, Sarah's scar is healed nicely just had a straight line above her eyebrow. Harry Dropped a chair on his big toe again damaging the nail which is black and not very good, I have however made a promise to Mark I will not blog this one as everyone is probably still feeling sick over the last one.

weather here is horrible no 2 days are the same , Hot , muggy, raining , thunderstorms you name it, I know we should not moan people have it a lot worse but we cant plan anything never know what to put the kids in, We did however make it to Sunny Hunny for the day. It was my friends little boys birthday so we went for the day. it was not too bad bit windy but a good day out. Charlotte went on her first horse ride...yes it was a horse not a donkey and Sarah had her first walk on sand, she did not quite know what to make of it.

Hopfully have some pics soon
