Catch up




Feels like we are still going flat out- probably no sleep doesn't help. Mae has been up loads in the night, although the new star chart is out and last night we all slept well!! Star charts, hmmmm. A weird idea, something I wouldn't have thought would be my type of parenting thing, but, hell, if they work. And Geoff and I are even on the latest one, for yelling. We both got stars for not yelling yesterday so I will also keep you up to date on that....



Mae's latest thing is writing books. She brought this home from school last week and I almost died! Dana, doesn't this remind you of US?! Hopefully you can read it with these pictures.






And today she is working on one about planets (the arrows were her idea. this page is about the earth orbitting the sun!)

Catch up on the Mitra's visit- Geoff was sleeping too late so we sent the kids in.



And me and Mae being girly girls (no insects or reptiles anywhere!!!)

I love the book. And the planets one looks like a best-seller. The arrows are great!

By the way you are not only girly for the facial, but your also both in pink!!

Great shots Jen!

I LOVE this post! Kids writing books is awesome! Can't wait to read the one about the planets! I remember being particularly proud of one picture of an octopus in an "Under the Sea" book we made!

Wait!! I think it was "Brotherhood Under the Sea"!! What a concept! You know I didn't realize until I was in my 20s that every school didn't have "Brotherhood Week" every other week.

You need to worry when your child starts asking for their own star chart to inmprove their own behaviour as Ailsa does
