following kentwell the girls did quite a bookish week. They got back into the swing of things quite happily. we had a really great history all day workshop – this time about the civil war – I am determined we will get that far in history!! 
Botany happened again on Tuesday, and this week it was looking round a lovely private garden. When we get back to gardening, there are lots of ideas there! Unfortunately I was pretty unwell tues and weds, so no weds4ed as didn’t want to pass on any lurgies. On thurs after music lessons the family went to visit DH parents, and cheer up grandad. He is back home, but not so well any more, and unable to get about like he used to. I think friday was orienteering 
the next week I think we had as outings rollerskating with home ed friends and came back with 2 more children! E and R for a sleepover until the weds. They all had a great time, loombanding, just dancing, karaoke, wii, playing hide and seek, crafting with hama beads etc. Lovely . we inflicted little shop of horrors musical on them… on weds we did have weds4ed, and we made dentistrometers with sugar solution, and were all surprised that almonds were not as dense as sugar sprinkles 
. some of the carefully done density columns were very beautiful. again, photos resolutely on flickr! also some music, and decorating biscuits [more sugar!] as well as a mathsy/thinking game. music lessons and all the clubs were still on, but this was the last ballet week and guides week. Last ever for FrB and she has started to realise her time here is nearly over, and get homesick a bit!! we did get some rabbits though so lots of fun there. DH and the girls went to visit their grandparents.
This last week has seen the last judo and weds4ed for FrB, so definitely a few sad moments getting friends skype etc addresses. We have quite got used to FrB living here, and it will definitely seem quite odd when she is gone! She is a really lovely girl, but also quite noisy, high maintenance for interaction/love/cuddles/attention so I think it is going to be a lot quieter. She and BB have mostly a great relationship, but are the 2 greatest arguers, as they do have quite similar personalities in many respects [hotly denied by both of them ] . Quite a good start to the week from the booksy home-ed perspective, tho tailed off a bit towards the end of the week! BB and FrB did a lot of playing together with lego and with Sylvanians. there was wild place yesterday, rollerskating thursday and the usual music lessons. This was the last proper music lesson, but the girls have a duet they are playing next week – must video . Weds4ed was mostly loombanding, playing board games and just being friends altogether. we did make chocolate dipping sauce for a treat though, to go with fruit and biscuits
well, i guess that is as much of an update as I can remember 
. I will try and blog better, but there has been a lot going on!
