Friday was our first anniversary of moving into this house. Can't believe it, time has flown by, it seems like just yesterday we were running around like headless chickens to unpack everything here and to clean up the old house. We all love this house and the opportunities it had given us as a family. We are able to spend a lot more time together doing fun stuff as M doesn't have a huge communte to workl We still miss pborough and our friends there very much but the more we get to know of leicester the more we like it. There is so much to do around here that we could go out exploring every weekend and still not see everything. I especially love the sense of community in our little close. As we all moved in at roughly the same time everyone knows everyone and is very friendly. Sam and S from next door are in and out of each others houses so much that we should have a revolving door. To celebrate our housiversary we had everyone round for a bbq. It gave us a chance to chat properly, and I think everyone had fun. I know that we did. The dogs got a bit over excited though and had to have a nap in their crate to prevent them from eating off everyone's plates.
Today was another big event-the first meeting of the home ed group that my friend V and myself have started. We are holding it in a local church hall which is light and spacious and well equipped. Our theme was spring and we had 5 families in total. They are all people that we know from french class so the children were all comfortable with each other. We had about 6 activities in total, in addition to a play table with games, playdough and hamma beads. Sam's only complaint about the session was that there weren't enough science experiments and he didn't get enough custard cremes! I hope everyone else enjoyed it and hope that the group continues to grow. As we grow and evolve we hope to involve the other parents more and have them run sessions like we did back in pborough. Our next session is the 14th of may so if anyone out there is interested in coming please let me know.
