Refresh and relaunch

By -
Kathryn Sarah has just achieved her first decade! I thought this would be a good time to refresh the family blog, and relaunch it - especially as I'm not feeling very positive about Facebook at the moment, and want to maintain alternative communications channels (like postcards, for instance!). Unfortunately in the 2 years since I used this platform I've forgotten how much of it works, so until I can link up all my mobile devices, updates may be sporadic. But in the meantime, happy 10th birthday Katy! Here's a pic from the archives.

The other was a 'fact or opinion' game, which we have just been playing in the kitchen. You put up a 'fact' sign on one wall, and an 'opinion' sign on the opposite wall. You then read out a series of statements, and the children have to go and stand in front of the sign which they think is right for the statement. I could be wrong, but this looks suspiciously like they are being taught to think critically for themselves! Just a pity that the spelling needs a bit more work.

Realising on the way home that we urgently needed some more nappies but recognsing at the same time that waking Kathryn was A Very Bad Idea, I stopped the car for a nano-second so that Rachel could jump out and then proceeded to drive very slowly six times around the whole of Morrisons carpark whilst Rachel got supplies
