Halloween fun

Pumpkins have been hollowed and carved, even a small one for our autumn nature display, sitting alongside conkers, webs, acorns, wooden toad stalls and smooth blocks.
We decided to try a calmer affair this year, although the kids were disappointed that we did not go to the local Halloween party. However I think we enjoyed our evening at home, comfort food of roast chicken, buttery corn, dauphinoise potato and home made country gravy!it was delish then we went outside to have sparklers, before warming up by the log fire and a dessert of apple and toffee crumble!

I'm back at work nex week so I really should ne refreshing myself! Hard when I have had the kids the whole timet with K doing a few jobs. I have made a goofed start with Xmas shopping, a good deal from hamlets on sylvanian families saved us a bit, and we have bought Archie a maxi micro scooter! He will love this so much.

L has moved on to ancient civilizations for her main lesson, she is still loving school and progressing well. They have learned about ancient India this week. we will be doing Martin mass candle festival walk too next week. Little c is talking so much, and quite clearly too, she can answer most questions and is great at her shoes not!
