Life is a Highway - it’s the journey, not the destination

it’s cold!!!

We went out around the garden and barns this morning and it was gorgeous. Marcus wanted to draw “nature” so we took out paper and pencils and he did. Spring is definitely starting but it’s hard to be convinced when it turns as cold as it has been. Was snowing the other night. We do have a lovely tree out in the garden with lots of blossom on it which is really nice. I’m quite enjoying watching everything change.

Marcus also wanted to learn about birds today so we’ve just looked through a book together. Alex has a thing about Scooby Doo and has been watching the films non stop. Oh and when not doing that it’s Pop Jr dancing (I need that rolls eyes icon thing).

I’m annoyed at myself for still having not done any gardening of any sorts. I’ve no excuse (well apart from lack of money!!) as I have plenty of space now. Need to get a gardening head on I think. I do have some rhubarb growing though which is mildly exciting and there’s some sort of tree in the same area and I’m wondering if it could be a fruit tree. You never know. Looking forward to the end of summer as there are oodles of blackberry bushes around

Education is thin on the ground, but I’m convincing myself that it’s ok as it’s the Easter break. Oh and Jax, the reading thing has kind of been bubbling under the surface for a while. He’s just finally been able to do it a bit more fluently so I made sure he showed off for my mum We’ve still a long way to go, but it’s not really a struggle for him. He just isn’t hugely interested. That’s the struggle I guess. I don’t want to push him to do something he isn’t interested in, but obviously it’s such a big thing I need to do something. In the end I went for the neglectful approach, I ignore him till he begs to do it!! Muahahahahah!!
