As said by Sam...

Have been collecting quotes from Sam this week, here are the best.

As said to S as we were walking to the library, "Are you going to get friction or non friction books?"

"I need time away from my family" as said to me to explain why he needed to go next door and play with S.

"I like Rose better, the other girl has a funny hair cut" he answer when asked which doctor who assistant he liked best.

I am sure there were more but my mind has gone blank, it is too early to be blogging.

As the rain cleared up over the course of the week so too did our week get better. We haven't done anything special for half term this week, in fact we have managed to do school work every morning. The afternoons were spent having fun and running errands. Friday evening we went to ikea for dinner and a bit of shopping. It is so empty when you go in the evening, the only downside was that the dogs were absolutely loopy having been crated and so late in the day and did not calm down enough to go to bed until very late.

This weekend we have been in serious diy mode, putting up shelves, mirrors and a variety of other things. Sam was very helpful though I suspect that he had an alterior motive. He was keen to get done as the two doctor who dvds that I got on ebay arrived yesterday morning and he was dying to watch them. In the end the day was so busy that we didn't sit down to watch until 8pm and as it was so late he only got one episode. To say he was upset is an understatement. We tried to explain that he could have more on sunday how lucky he was as if he was watching it on normal tv he would have to wait a whole week. It seems he has forgotten about how tv stations work and is of the opinion that you can just turn on to bbc or whatever and watch what you want when you want. He was stunned to learn that it doesn'twork that way.

Today is more diy and getting things ready for home ed group tomorrow. We are carrying on the with space theme and we are doing fizzy rockets (again), as well as a variety of other fun experiments. V is bring lots of boxes etc so the children can do junk modeling rockets. Sam is very excited about this and has great plans for his rocket.
