Flown By.

Where has this week gone.

Tuesday - HE Art and Craft Group,also Mikes day off.  Very hot day. This weeks craft was De-Coupage. I had managed to get lots of shoe boxes from our local shoe shop, (with much help from Becky and Danny carrying them down the High Street), so we used them for our project.

They turned out quite well, will post photos once my two have varnished theirs, Becky has made hers into a recipe box and Danny a bugs box.

Wednesday - HE Group - Spanish for Becky, mainly football for Danny. James did some cooking and had lots of fun in the park.  Very hot.  Left the Group early to watch ENGLAND qualify for the next round of the world cup - we face Germany - sure we can win!!!

Thursday - Bit of a grey day weather wise, went to the library. Becky picked up loads of books (she gets through so many - which is good of course)  Danny a few, he prefers to sit and draw more than sit and read, but still likes a good book.

They both picked their topics,- Thursday is project day, and as we are nearing the end of our "term" - which ends on the 30th June so we decided not to start anything to big.  I suggested something related to the World Cup, so Becky chose South Africa, and Danny chose Italy.

As it happened our local Bakery were selling different types of cakes from South Africa, so we bought Ginger Donuts and milk custard tarts.

Becky read her book on South Africa after eating her cake, then Danny watched Italy go out of the World Cup, then decided to cook Italian for our evening meal - (with Becky's help).  They made cheese and ham pizzas with ravioli.  Tasted really nice.

Today - lovely day weather wise, grey day in the way of how I felt.  Every now and again I feel overwhelmed with the fact that James has Epilepsy, today was one of those days. I cried a lot, and was comforted by my loving family, and was reminded by them all that we will have bad days, and it isn't always easy, but to remember  that we are all here for each other. They are so good to me:-}

Apart from feeling low, the day went well. Our monthly science experiment was rocks - using different types of chocolate (cool) from a book called The Little Book of Science Experiments - Planet Science. Mike did this with them while I sat with James during his afternoon nap. They really enjoyed it (who wouldnt - you can eat the chocolate afterwards) and it covered Igneous rocks, meteorites, explosive eruptions and fusion crusts.


So the week has gone so quickly, lovely weather again, the children have been outside a lot, playing cricket with the nieghbours, as well as having Beckys Drama class and Netball practice. 

Mike has got this weekend off, so may have a day out tomorrow. Looking forward to lots of football too.

Come On ENGLAND!

Blessings
