Signs of Spring

We went out for a walk in the (semi industrial) nature reserve this morning and spotted some signs of spring, trees in blossom, buds, some half unfurled into leaves. Boys got excited and muddy. There were lots of big puddles and soon after we left there was another heavy shower, alhamdulillah.
The boys have realised that they can actually follow hama bead patterns, so they have been producing bead dinosaurs today. Ia wants to make them too but she can’t use the pattern so this takes up a lot of my time. I’ve had to stop her now, feel a bit guilty about that.
R has been working on his Turkey project, he found out some more information from the internet, but the typing is taking a long time so he will need to continue another day. He did finish the temperature graph and now they are doing some maths.
U enjoyed seeing a train and a horse today. She sang “Twinkle twinkle inkle tar” and said “Mimi weed it” for her favourite library book of the moment (Maisy flap book) She also loves Topsy and Tim books. Other recent sentence attempts include “Mal dinkie cup in” (J put a drink in my cup)

Asak again, S and M Hama beading non-stop yesterday, alhamdulillah I needed todo some imoortant stuff so I could get on with that. The younger ones do find it hard to make their own patterns esp H, and want me to do it for them which defeats the point somewhat! The iron's been seeing a lot more use than normal, it's hardly ever used on intended items ie clothes!
