Dog + balloon=

bad combination. While she loves playing with the balloon, when it eventually pops she tries to eat the silly thing. This then results in mad panic with me having to stick my hand down her throat to retrieve it. Not pleasant I can assure you. The house has been full of balloons this week in honor of M's bday which was monday. We had a nice party on sunday with M's parents-complete with party poppers, balloons and birthday cake. Miko took the party poppers in her stride but went mad for the balloons.

Apart from M's bday it has been a quiet week. Schoolwise things are progressing-we have started doing science experiments again much to sam's delight. We spent wednesday afternoon playing with circuits and making lightbulbs light up. We have also been doing crafty stuff around the romans as we are visiting them at the moment in story of the world. We are currently building a mini aqueduct, not sure if it will work, we didn't get to finish it today but hopefully over the weekend we will have some pics to show. Sam seems to be enjoying this section on the romans, mainly I think because they were so blood thirsty. EC continues to be a big hit and the math especially makes a nice compliment to what we are doing on our own. It is certainly helping him to develop his mental math skills which can only be a good thing. French class starts up again tomorrow and it will be nice to see everyone.

I wish we lived closer, its nice to be on the same bit of sotw, and it would be fun to do the makings together - especailly as I thought that one looked very complicated!
