this weekend

The weekend just gone was our first weekend all home together for nearly 3 weeks. It was really nice although Hj and I were sick.

We had two days of the most amazing winter sunshine - so bright and sparkley that it was nearly impossible to see.

On Sunday we had a visit from some very special people. Two of my brothers and their girlfriends - although I managed to neglect to take a shot of Kyle and Tracy - who was wonderful to meet for the first time.

Hj especially liked her accessories.



Getting active in the sunshine


To make up for not having a Picture of Kyle here he is as an action hero figurine.
see I told you he is a hero.

Cardboard Jet

Tuesday night just before tea I had a pile of packaging sitting on the kitchen bench top ready to go in the Kinder collection of making things I collect to pass onto the kinder (phew was that a long sentence?)

Kd got his hand on all the bits and bobs - rip rip rip - Mum I made a Jet - so tea cooking was temporarily delayed for sticky tape and then we had a cardboard Jet filling the air space in our living area for the evening.

The Dunkeld Trip

Finally returning to blogging - gee it is taking me a bit to get over the festival that took place last month - kinda nearly there - especially when I get back into the routine of going to gym.

Over the long weekend I had a special trip to Dunkeld (one of my favourite places) with my Mum and two sisters and my daughter (some of my favourite people) to craft it up and do lots of lazing around and playing games, oh and watching Dvds and thankfully C sneaked a block of chocolate!

Friday at home

The most recent edition of Kids Craft Weekly has some great ideas for stuff you can do with pre-schoolers at home learning about the alphabet.

Our first activity was the magazine alphabet game.  - what you do is give the child a sheet with the alphabet on it then provide magazine and scissors and together find letters to chop out.

It started Ok - Kd finding an A straight away, but then he found a robot costume made from cardboard boxes and then we were straight into the studio to do some serious robot making.

Hj is really enjoying pretending to cook and kitchen play.
