Heelys

Our eldest has been given some heelys by a friend. She has not broken any bones yet but she has had a good go at it.

London Baby

I went on a school trip with our youngest today. To the Tower of London to see the crown jewels and also learn about castles and stuff. There was a good presentation by a knight who told us a bit about Kings and their bedrooms. It was freezing and quite windy and, as lunch had to be eaten outside, there was a need for a lot of jumping around to get warm afterwards. It's amazing what parents think is an easy lunch to eat on a school trip - it's also amazing that many included spoons even though we had expected to be able to throw any lunch packaging away after consumption.

The Death of Emily

Emily, the hamster of our eldest died today. We are not sure what caused it as she was very thin but had become so very quickly. We took her to the vet and sadly she advised that Emily should be put down.

A very sad day in the normal household.

Tea at Grandmas

We went for Sunday tea at Grandmas. Lots of lovely sandwiches and cakes. Yummy.

Snow on Snow

Yet even more snow. Will it ever be spring.

KFC

Our eldest made a bargain that if she got the award for the 'most merits of the week' we would take her to KFC for chicken and chips. Coincidentally, a week or so later she came home with the requisite certificate. Strange what it takes to motivate her.
