What do you see?

I wonder what people see when they look at our family? The first thing most people comment on is the number of children that we have or that they don't have the patience to be with their children all the time. There are lots of things different in our family from most but day to day we don't notice because this is our norm and this is how we roll.

Thursday was gymnastics day. Friday we took a repeat trip to Legomania primarily to see how the big build was progressing. On our previous visit it was only boxes of bricks, this time the scale model was visible and a large proportion if the big build.

Bean, 9, has watched The Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2, Pumpkin, 8, continues to plough through ballisticsquid on youtube. Plum, 5, and Pippin, 2, have been chalking hopscotch on the patio and playing on the slide in the garden. We have eaten breakfast lunch and dinner outside over the past week, played with the rabbits indoors, bean has made a stop frame animation, plum made a mucky mixture, pippin has coloured and sung and sung and coloured.

Saturday we took Archie the dog for a walk in the woods and he came back to our house for the first time. Plum is reading 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear' to me every night, bean is reading the chronicles of narnia with daddy, and Pippin is doing voices for her toys now.
