3, 2, 1 blast off......

yesterday was home ed group and our theme was space (thank you sam!). V brought lots of cool craft things for the children to do including making flying saucers and planet pics and we did the sciency bit. The things that the children enjoyed most were the fizzy rockets and recreating the storms on jupiter. There are some great pics of the rockets in action which I will post tomorrow. The children also enjoyed the space ice cream (thank you dad!) and all the space toys and the planets game (thank you nana and grandad). It was a small group but I think everyone enjoyed themselves and hopefully everyone is looking forward to the next installment of space in a fortnight.

M had today off so after a brief session of lessons we went out and about. First stop was the camping store to get supplies for M's trip this weekend and then to starbucks. Rogue especially enjoyed starbucks as he managed to grab half of m's sandwich!! We then headed out to a garden center that V recommended for veggies for the veggie garden. We got corn, beans, peppers and nasturshums and then spent the rest of the afternoon planting them. This evening has been a Dr. Who marathon as we managegd to get two more dvds from the library. Sam loves the show and is not in the least bit frightened. I suspect that tomorrow evening will be more of the same.

I did a little happy dance today as there is the slight chance that M and I may be going to see jimmy buffett in paris in two weeks. I managed to get tickets but now we need to see if he can get the time off. Fingers crossed that he does as it would be so cool not only to see jimmy but to see him in paris. Not sure if I should wear the grass skirt or not though.... I suspect paris is not ready for a almost forty parrothead in a grass skirt and a crop top.
