Oliver and Bethany had a School disco last Friday. Bethany asked me to take her so I was more than happy to Chaparone (she may as well get used to it!). There were sweets, smoking machines, bubble machines, dancing and of course music.

Preston Downs Walk
On the 15th the weather was nice so we decided to take walk over Preston cliffs and because the children were enjoying the walk, we took a gamble and walked back to the car via the beach and Cafe Oasis, where we enjoyed a Hot Chocolate..yummy!!
All set for the first Kite Surfing lesson
"No Ship here Captain! just yucky seaward" said shipmate Rebecca
Oliver realising that attempting the surf was not a good idea!
At last the Cafe! & two exhausted thirsty children
Yes there was Ribena as well as Hot Chocolate

Torch Artwork
Oliver and I went out for a walk after dinner while Daddy was reading books to the three youngest. Oliver chose our route which took us down a couple of very dark lanes. So I introduced him to torch art.
Fireworks
Not sure, but good fun.
First official info on the school Christmas Productions!
Bethany will be an Angel in the Key Stage 1 play. She said it was the only girl job and she didn't want to do a boy job, and angels are "all shiny and sparkly", so angel it is!
Oliver was all set with a speaking part as Jeremy (we daren't ask how Jeremy fits into the Nativity). However Oliver said he didn't want to have a speaking part, he wanted to be a sheep. "I was a sheep in the pre-school play and a sheep last year and I like being a sheep."
"Maybe (we said), you should speak to your teacher about it and tell her you don't want a speaking part." So on Friday he came home from school having told Mrs. Wyslocky that he didn't want a speaking part and wanted to be a sheep. Her reply was that they are not doing the actual journey to Bethlehem this year so there are no sheep, but he could be a Shepherds Assistant or a WiseMens Assistant. He plumped for the job of Wise Mens assistant because he thought the costume might be better, but is still a little upset that he cannot dress up as a sheep. Anyone out there have a redundant sheep costume to make a little boys dream come true?

October 31st, another year older for Katharine which makes me I can be a toy boy again! if only for a few months. While I was under the weather Granny helped with the Saturday routine of evacuating the house so that mummy can sleep and the buying of the Saturday sweets. A trip to the RSPB Radipole lake to feed the ducks and have a stroll was the aim for the morning, luckily the weather was great
Pumpkin Making
Halloween Eve and we're making a pumpkin lantern. This is what Bethany and Rebecca think of Pumpkin, so I guess they won't be keen to try the soup I make from the contents!
It takes a lot of concentration, a very sharp knife and lots of trust(on Mummy and Daddy's part) to dig out the inside!
Last trip of the season to Abbotsbury Barn as it closes until Easter. Child "Jenga" and Oliver is the first imprisoned!
That looks fun, can I have a go? Not sure what's going on with the bare tummy but it belongs to Anya!

Abbotsbury Gardens at Night
At long last term has finished! After two hours of walking to and fro everyday and endless rounds of lunch boxes and uniforms we now have a whole week stretching ahead of us to please ourselves! I love it. Rebecca was busy saying she doesn't like school today while Bethany gently reminded her that she doesn't actually go to school yet at the tender age of just 3! Now that school half term has started, the best way for it to begin is to bake cakes and have a picnic. We decided to have a picnic at Abbotsbury Gardens but with a twist. This time of year the gardens are open at night for two weeks and are lit by candle light.
These cakes are the ones that made it into the picnic as they were the first ones decorated and a lovely job the children did of them.
