We had a lovely time at Twin Lakes with friends last week, they have free pumpkin carving available in the run up to Halloween so we came home smelling of pumpkins.
Then we went to the best party EVER! A halloween party organised by some Home Ed friends. Wow, what a party - a magician, dancing, McDonalds, Pizza, Icecream, Fireworks, and Lanterns! We came home very happy but very knackered. Eoin and Emma - you definately get the award for best party of the year!
On Saturday we went to see the Firework display at Abbey Park. A beautiful evening and as always a brilliant fireworks display.
LA has continued to exceed all my expectations (child number 3 - why do I have expectations???) in her reading ability. She is now on the (dreadful) Rainbow Fairy books and has read the first 4 books in the last 3 weeks. She really enjoys them, so we're going along with it, but the stories are awful! Any recommendations for a 5 year old would be very welcome!
Its still not so easy to get her to write, but we're not pushing this, I'm sure the time will come.
She now has her own website - its a blog on which I have listed lots of sites that I feel are relevant for the week ahead - she loves the independence of being able to go to the computer and get on with it, so its working well.

Big loved the rainbow stories when she got into reading, probably because I refused point blank to read them to her :)
We also did some ballet school diaries which were a bit better, but might be a bit old for her depending on her outlook? Animal Ark? Or how about some Dick King Smith, that goes down pretty well with most kids :)
OOOhhhh! No there'w an idea! Animal Ark, I bet if I dig deeply into some of the boxes around here I'll find some of Kates old books.
Thanks Jax!
