this week BB tried out a new history group for its first session on romans. she went on friday. she enjoyed it, tho said she knew it already 
and she would have liked a few more crafts. Having said that, she has regaled me with snippets about romans all day today, so clearly she listened carefully and it was a good session. unfortunately she will miss the next 2 sessions as they happen on our holidays 
. No photos tho, as a friday thing done with DH.
Also she did some more of her airfix kit, and started a robot kit.
Other new groups are in the offing. BB is going to a young engineers group with our local Home ed group. We are hoping a composition group comes of for SB and FrB, and hopefully BB too [tho not sure what she will make of it] and DH is contemplating setting up a more teen like group and hopefully actioning some short courses at a not quite local outdoors place. Already with our local home ed group the girls do a conservation session and multisports. You never see pics on this blog tho, as DH is in charge of all days bar weds, and he doesn’t take photos or blog! But these things still go on, and BB is really enjoying them. Hopefully when we have FrB he will take a few, and maybe blog so that V and E can see that all is well.
So, onto today! We got up late having gone to bed late last night. in fact bb fell asleep snuggling up to me watching Jem’s explosions. we watched this when it first came out, but i knew she would enjoy it. We have made gunpowder a number of times for home ed experimentation [within the law, small amounts, not stored but used immediately, and set on fire but not enclosed so not an explosive] . We giggled about having a go with the honey version – tho it does look scary! but we will definitely not make guncotton! oh yes, back to today BB started with minecrafting, and was on a private group server which she enjoys and skyping with the eldest of TheB’s children, tho i think all came on in the end. When i could drag her off she made pancake herself and then we did some more of her minecraft edition of settlers. finished the board and made the fimo game pieces. she worked out how she wanted the board and charged me with ‘putting the numbers in’ so I hope that bit works out.
we did do some of the homeed things she only likes to do with me. that list is currently getting longer! so she waits for the weekend or weds for the collins, music theory, piano and whatever! tho today she actually did conquer maths with me as had been stuck on carrying over [now sorted] and the schofield and simms science book – which she loved because she ‘had a reason to write poop’!!! [seed dispersal]
bb’s fav game with me is the snake game – we pretend my arms are snakes and she tries and stuff into sleeves and we have a tickle/marmalisation fest 
. we played a lot! now she is back on minecraft and i am wonering if the dhal will ever cook or the split peas too old [ 1 hour 45 so far]. need to get bb to bed!!
