The loft and practising for Mia's party

Abbie practising for Mia's ice skating and bowling party tomorrow.

Harry had a go too and managed to do a comedy slip where both legs were horizontal and he fell on his bottom (the only bit without padding!) He was fine but annoyed at Abbie who wouldn't stop laughing!
Ian has been busy insulating our newly boarded loft; it looks just like a space station and no we are not going to grow plants up there!

Tumble turns and Pumpkin coaches

Abbie learnt to do tumble turns this afternoon!

She has been trying to do a somersault in the water for months and kept getting 1/2 way

She was over the moon and must have done at least 30 more!

As we were away during 1/2 term we didn't get to carve our pumpkin

We decided to make a Cinderella pumpkin coach featuring my little pony and the sullivanian family!

Our last trip to Nerja!

Our 1/2 Term holiday in Nerja, Spain

We spent a day at the Selwo Marina Dolphinarium

Abbie is a huge fan of Dolphins - she finally got to see what they are like close up.

Ian's cool pig photo!

Most of the time was spent at Burriana beach on a pink lilow

Harry got really brave in the sea

Drinks at the beach bar

Harry digging a big hole again!

The pink lilow again.

Abbie and I went Snorkelling with our goggles by the rocks on the pink lilow and thanks to another fellow snorkeller spotted an octopus! and lots of fish.

Ian was trying to take some scenic photos but managed to take this picture of a really large fisherman - too many chips?

We went for a lovely walk up the river with Ginny and Robert (Granny and Gramps)

Ian didn't want me to share this photo but I thought it was quite funny that he looks so white against the mahogany coloured sunbathers around him.

More digging!

Duathlon

Two "hyper" children on a Sunday morning

The answer? - A Duathlon!

They cycled and I had my run, unbelievably they are still hyper!

It's a good thing we are going swimming with Isaac this afternoon (A Triathlon?)

Cup cakes

Harry and Ian were very busy today making delicious cup cakes for the reception class Autumn fair tomorrow. I can't believe he was allowed to use the electric whisk!

Marmalade Sandwiches

Abbie was delighted to have the chance to take the class mascot (Paddington) home this afternoon and Paddington was delighted to have Marmalade sandwiches for tea!

Chequered flag

We made condolence cards for our neighbour today;

Abbie drew a bunch of flowers and

Harry decided to draw the following...

A chequered flag

and a lift

I still have lots to learn about the 4 year old boy's brain.
Rest in peace Sophie the cat.


Harry was also questioning the creation story. He said to begin with there was only sea and then God made the Land; where did he get the soil from? hmmmmm... I said what about in Space. Harry then informed me that there were no Space rockets. I don't have all the answers!
