Today we managed to strip wallpaper from three rooms, stripped out the carpet in four and painted two sides of the outside of the house....well, alright it was only the dolls house but still!!! Ben and Eilidh have been desperate to get started so after getting some paint the other day they just couldn't wait any longer. It is turning a lovely shade of light blue and needs a lot ot TLC but we will get there. Eilidh picked out some wallpaper as well so this will be the next job after all the painting is finished. If only we could get our own house done so quickly!

We also did some work on Romans, Ben colouring in some pictures for his poster and Eilidh working out Roman Numerals for her project book. We are starting this new idea called a 'Lapbook' which is just a folder with lots of bits and pieces in about your topic which you can add to, a bit like doing a scrapbook.

This afternoon they both decided to finish their Hama bead pictures they had for Christmas, Ben helped me make his fire engine and Eilidh did her last horse for her mobile so it's all ready to put together. They look really good and it's quite addictive once you start.
