Yesterday we had a really good day at our Home Ed art group. Jayne who organises the group had arranged for a neighbour who is a proper artist to come and help some of the older ones with drawing. A whole group of them sat around a table for ages busy drawing and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. Meanwhile the younger ones got on with decorating hearts, doing blow painting, joining in with a bit of the drawing, oil pastels and collage (which was great fun!)

This is what we came home with!!

Then Naomi prepared the veg for tea with Eilidh & Bens help, Naomi also discovered a new herbal remedy for headache & Eilidh just had to try it too.

Today we pottered about sorting out bits and pieces around the house. Dave painted the new loft hatch, Eilidh helped me wash and sand another horrible blue door ready for painting white and Ben roped Daddy in to help build him a huge track in Eilidhs room to play with. They had both stripped their beds for me already, isn't it great when they get to the age that they can actually do things!!

Mind you Ben had spent most of this morning in his pyjamas playing cars in his room, only reappearing for lunch wearing a t-shirt and shorts (absolutely nothing else!) BRRR he was making me feel cold just looking at him. They had a lovely bath and sat in front of the fire having supper before going to bed
