Idea Paint

Idea Paint -when drawing on the wall is OK. This magic paint makes your wall into a giant whiteboard. Great fun - though slightly concerned that Ruby may think every wall is covered with this stuff and go on a scribbling rampage. Oh well, drawing on walls was a kind of rite of passage when I was a kid, along with hiding keys and sticking crayons in keyholes.

Ruby Writes!

Ruby wrote her name very carefully for the first time - I didn't even see her do it, it just appeared on the board.

Little Sisters

Sisters can be a pain. Just ask Noah. Ruby may be nearly 3 years younger but she can mentally challenge someone twice her age. She can coax him into saying a naughty word then immediately tell on him - sneaky! And he is so trusting he falls for it every time. One day he'll learn.

Marshmallow and pineapple letters - educational eating?

Cornish Easter

Tigers

Thanks for the tiger card Auntie Jean, they loved pretending to be tigers and lots or roaring ensued.

taches

Introducing Monsieur and Madame Nicething!

Happy St Davids Day

Tis the day for all things Welsh. Lots of Daffs and Leeks pinned to rugby shirts or welsh dresses. OK so Ruby's is the wrong colour, but as she is half English she can get away with it.

Chinese New Year

It was a cold cold Chinese New Year in Cardiff Bay. These two lovely people braved the cold and happily posed with the kids.

Birthday

Noah turned 6 today. 6!!! Where has the time gone? Lots of eating, games and treasure hunts made for a lovely day. Thanks everyone for the presents - Ben 10 everything. He is one happy boy.

Snow

Last weeks snow was sooo exciting, even though it only lasted about 24 hours.

Maths

Noah has developed an interest in numbers, I found all these sums on the blackboard. He annoys his sister by spontaneously counting to 100 in the middle of Tom and Jerry.

Christmas Lego

Noah got a 4 lego sets which took all holiday to build to Grandpa. He also has the latest LEgo catalogue which he carries with him all around the house - even looks at it before he goes to sleep! Legotastic!

Dressing up box

Letters to Santa

Ruby kept it simple with a nice picture (Santa? Curly hair?)

Noahs was a four page extravaganza with Santas, elves and stars.
