The Crown Jewels, Ballerinas, Bears, Spies, Winter Hobbies

Thank you Sis for watching the girls yesterday while I had part 2 of the root filling and the links you sent me so I can get some Jewels and Crowns xxx

Well the snow finally arrived on Saturday, it was nothing to write home about, didn't settle but was pretty to watch for a while.

The girls did some more Art this morning..

From the Usbourne Activities book a fellow blogger inspired me to get.

The small one also drew this, amazing talent (maybe I'm biased but I love it!)

They have gone out now, so I have some 'me' time. Thought I would make a post so here we are. 

I breezed through FSC in a matter of hours with a great score this week and........

I have finally learned how to upload from the IPad so that will make accessing the pictures a lot easier, I like my ancient desktop, Laptops just aren't the same. I like my chunky keyboard even with the temperamental H.

So here are some more pictures from a while back, that I wasn't able to post previously....

The small one while she was still ill with the chickenpox

Loves her books!

This is her favorite toy 'Teddy', we lost him once, retraced our steps and he had fallen out of the buggy and was laying in the road!

He's now old and tatty but she still insists on going to sleep with Teddy every night.

One of our favorite games....

The small one is very good at this game :)

We played spies (the glasses have mirrors so you can see behind you, she also had a listening device and binoculars)

The Nyan cat theme continues.... 

As does the creative streak for little one

I tested her a while back, she is doing amazing for her age!

This is our whiteboard, the learning never stops....

The girls are back now and they each got a wonderful gift, funny how I was just talking about 'Teddy'...

This one is called Rainbow Kitty and say's 'I love you'.

Guess what this one is called?

Elsa and sings 'Let it go' from our favorite movie Frozen.

Trying to work on a surprise Frozen theme party for the little on, so if anyone has any ideas please leave me a comment or link, think frugal and very limited budget!

Not liking the look of the small one and her voice has dropped, I think we have a cold on the way.

Every day a challenge..... 

Right signing off now, I might be back later, I feel an Electricity Experiment coming on.

Happy Saturday All 

Managed to fir a couple of experiments in before lunch....

Just enough time for another one.....

Will have redo this one, it didn't sound like a bird more like a video game.

Time for lunch.....

Not well baby.

Snow on the horizon?

It's been quite a month, Have been in a lot of pain, small stuff had chicken pox and Nannie B had a stroke, so haven't really had time to keep up the blog.

But I'm back (Sis will hate that, starting a sentence with 'but') I can't resist, it will trigger her CDO... Love you sis Xxxx

Ok, thank goodness I have taken some pictures because my memory is dreadful.

I'm still doing the FSC course, week 3 was a nightmare, I understand DNA but the technical terms are a nightmare and I have been so ill nothing stuck so bombed the test.
This is week 4 and I haven't even started yet.

The girls however continue to learn at an incredible pace.

Music & PJ day

Teach your monster to read and a trial of Reading Eggs for the small one, she loves both and is doing really well.

Studyladder, Amy Lee theme continues...

Some new resources...

Tall is now going to Scouts and she loves it, 

 We had a Freestyle Art day!

Which then turned into a hairstyle day...

Finally got to meet Nikki, 

Had an amazing afternoon yesterday, shame I have a root filling to be finished tomorrow or we would be going again. Maybe if we get out quickly we might make it.

It also depends on the weather, it looks like a snow sky and I'm sure the temperature has dropped. 

Tall created a windmill using a motor and a circuit which has inspired us to try more electrical experiments, watch this space...

Still trying to work out where my other pictures have gone on this new laptop, it's a bit more fiddly then the ancient one (desktop) but I can't upload photos to that so I have to use this. I'm sure I will get the hang of it in the end.......

Another couple of things we picked up on our travels.

One for the collection, (I really hope that's a fake butterfly),

A new game...

Which we all enjoyed playing, it's like snap but you need 3 of the same instead of 2....

Small won ;)

Learning about our home.

Today we had a fun day, the girls decided to play some Minecraft, 

We watched Adam Clarke on Newsround talking about Tate Worlds: Art re-imaged for Minecraft

http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/tate-worlds-art-reimagined-minecraft

So the girls were inspired, they started off making flags then progressed to changing texture packs with the help of their friend over Skype who is at Minecraft school online.

I will be signing someone up very shortly.
