Photos

A quick catch up of photos...
LA with Bud from the Skyline gang from our week at Butlins at the beginning of the month.
LA looking very smart and grown up (except for the heels halfway up her legs) ready to see The Sooty Show.


Today, at a HE outing about Homes in the Tudor times. She had a fantastic time but as usual when the structure ended she became rather manic and we left before she destroyed something. This has gotten me thinking that maybe the way to get through the days at the moment with less stress would be to add more structure to the days. Maybe LA needs some structure, maybe LA needs to run riot too - but I need to see if I can get the riot time to happen when it's more appropriate (i.e. not in Sainsburys, a museum, the library or in the car...).

So the plan for the next week is - try a bit of structure. Well, maybe not next week...it's half term and Rich is off so it will be chaos anyway, maybe the week after.

Nothing happening here...

...well, nothing that I think is blogworthy anyway.
Home Ed groups, cooking, shopping, reading, usual stuff...

The most interesting thing I have to report is that our house smells like rubber fish as our dog is in season again. Where's my Vax???

Goodbye Nursery

After 2 weeks of not going (illness and holiday), LA decided that she didn't want to go to Nursery ever again.
We talked about the reasons for this, and it really comes back to: 1. Her friends leaving to go to school and 2. Wanting to be with me. It's very odd, but I find the first reason much more acceptable, even through I know she's only 4.
Anyway, we walked to nursery this morning (with bag incase she changed her mind) and cancelled her place. Then we came home, baked bread and went for a lovely autumn walk.
So for now, we've escaped from the system.
