After the fun and celebrations the week before, this last week has been relatively quiet and I have hardly taken any pictures. Annoyingly, I forgot to take my camera to my son’s first cross country race, but then again, it meant that I could just enjoy the occasion for once. He completed the course with […]
This week was all about Willow, as she was welcomed into the Catholic Church by baptism. We had a lovely weekend with friends and family and everything went to plan, apart from the lack of cutlery for some dishes I had provided for the reception afterwards and probably slightly over catering! Even with the attendance […]
This week was taken up with half term holidays, so we made the most of it with lazy starts to the day. Alexei and Willow were still a bit off colour. Willow not enjoyng her food as much and showing me that she really does not like any sort of meat thus far, by firmly […]
As expected, Alexei did receive the Head Teacher’s Special Award, for his computer work in R.E talking about Noah and the ark. He was so delighted with it, as are we, and proudly showed it off. This week we had parent’s evening, and his teacher was once again so complimentary about him, the only negative […]
The week started on a high with Barnaby receiving a Teacher’s Special Award, for “good effort, concentration and output in maths lessons.” He was chuffed, as were we, especially as he is making an effort to speak up in class and contribute more. It seems to be working. There is rumour that his little (but […]
Another busy week ended with a full-on weekend participating in the primary school quiz night (where we started off in the lead – due to very clever friends, but soon crashed and burnt as more alcohol was consumed and the other bribes to the quiz master were bigger and more generous than ours!), and then […]
This week seems to have been preoccupied with my husband’s poorly leg (well it’s on his mind a lot anyway), and Alexei’s 5th birthday party; three celebrations spanning three days. It kicked off with a meal out a TGI Friday’s where the food is a bit ropey, but the staff are great fun and made […]
The lateness of this posting has been due to the snow we have had in Britain (everything stops with snow here!) and the fact that I have had to nurse my husband after a little operation on his leg….well, that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it!!! Nothing to do with the parties and […]
The first week of the new year started and ended with a hangover for me. Oops. Nonetheless, it has been a lovely beginning and we have caught up with lots of family and friends and have made the most of the break from school with lots of activities including a tiny bit of telly, some […]
So, my first post for the new project is actually a roundup of the last week of 2012; the week all about Christmas! The children were super excited and every day examined the Christmas tree and the presents underneath. The “Christmas Tree Gang”, led by our eldest, Barnaby, were very restrained in not opening any […]
