Back To School

New uniform time - and Ruby's getting ready for her first day. She's very excited - let's hope it lives up to her expectations!

Cousins

Here they are enjoying the new improved treehouse (thanks uncle Chris). Noah has a gatecrasher friend!

Contents of a boys pockets

Contents = some bits of rock, a wine cork, England sweatband, Hot Wheels, a rawplug, rubber band and a piece of Lego.

Introducing the ipad

Emma came round today with the latest toy - a new iPad. The kids were fascinated. Noah played some driving game and Ruby ran a restaurant -badly.

Will drooled.

Challenge Noah

At the Festival of Races in Bridgend today Noah went for the fitness challenge, involving long jump, balancing and jumping. Although the results weren't the best he gets 10 out of 10 for effort.

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.

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.
