Summer Days

September is a great month in the Home Ed calendar, a small window of summer left whilst the parks and museums and places are all ours after August hibernation.

The day began with moving the sofa out and (after cleaning the debris and hoovering) making a den. Bean also made a shadow puppet on the wall using torch light and mini figures.

Plum made a lego aeroplane after Bean made her one, she was pleased with her copy of it.

We met friends at the dinosaur park in Southwater Country Park today and spent over three hours there. Pippin and Plum enjoying the swings mostly but Plum did try out some of the climbing equipment and then got stuck in a tower. Bean and M to the rescue and they supported her on the way down. Bean also held Plum's hand on the walk to the play area. I know sibling relationships are all perfect but it is beautiful moments like these that i have another reason to love home ed.

We spent time down in the lake just enjoying being in the water. Pippin crawled happily around in the shallows and the others all played with her at some point. This was followed by ice-cream, it was definately ice cream weather. 

Back home, M came to play. Her and Bean played in the garden, some sort of boat game (using the sea saw as the boat) and we fed the guinea pigs. M and I had a chat about the differences and similarities between guinea pigs and rabbits. We then watched a little Horrid Henry which involved an interesting conversation about what makes him horrid.

Pumpkin had his lego spinjitsu toy out this evening and was trying to knock over minifigures.

We ended the day with Bean asking "what is school for?" mmmm, errrr......
