Settling in..

slowly we are settling in here and it is starting to feel more like home. Most of the boxes are hidden away in the garage and all but the playroom and office are just about sorted out. There are pictures on the walls and clothes in the cupboards, which is a relief I can tell you. I wore the same pair of jeans for almost a week because I couldn't find anything else to wear.

We are all finding our feet-sam and I have been to our local country park twice and have a playdate tomorrow. M is delighted that his commute is so short and we are all benefitting from the extra family time.

Thank you all for your good moving vibes and your nice comments, it really helped to make things go better. Evenything went as smoothly as these things go, a few minor hiccups but they have all been sorted. Now the boxes are all hidden away you can all come and visit!

We are back on track with normals. Sam has finished explode the code 2 and should finish singapore 1a tomorrow. We are looking at planets and the solar system in science so will probably head over to the space centre at the weekend. We have also started a project on california-and discovered that most of it was underwater in the triassic, jurassic and creteous. tomorrow we are looking at the la brea tar pits and then on to the native american population. There has been lots of imaginative play with his fluffy dinos-I think they were all engaged in a game of hide and seek this morning that invovled using all the sleeping bags. It is so cute the way he talks to them and he says that he is their dad and that he loves them all very much. It is hard to reconcile that side of him with the one who wants to crash into things and generally create chaos.

We should have gone to t-ball tonight but instead had a family run around the park. M pointed out all the birds and butterflies to sam, while he was on a snake hunt, having been informed by a fellow park goer that snakes are often spotted there. We didn't spot any, which was probably a good thing because he would have wanted to take it home.
