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

I’m so behind on e-mails and blogs. Getting to the point where I’ll press delete to them all soon and just start afresh! Sorry.

We’ve been up to lots of things, but tinged by sadness as my Gran died a week and a half ago, hence the hiatus in blogging.

*baking - various types of muffins
*trips - out to a farm, visiting friends.
*VR & NVR - printed off freebies from here and tried some out. NVR seems to best at the mo mostly as their reading is a bit hit and miss for the VR. Haven’t done lots though.
*reading - M finishing up a Magic school Bus book - Twister Trouble and A has been reading The Cat in the Hat .
*History - been to watch BIL and SIL take part in a re-enactment of a civil war battle. Looks fun. James wants to join in!
*Playing - with the new Iphone
*More playing - Kids have been non stop littlest pet shop playing, hours of involved games together which is nice to watch.
*Building - M has been building lots of lego vehicles, different ones every day. Must buy more wheels!
*smoothie making - been getting into this lots. Have started adding greens to them too, fab to see the kids gulping down and not being fussed when I tell them there is dandelion leaves in the smoothie!! Juicer has been used too - thanks Michelle - kids have been making own apple juice.
*Story cd’s - A has listened to more Dolphin Diaries and M has started Stig of the Dump, finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and got really into Eragon and is finishing up Eldest . Audio books are great, he’d never pick up a book the length of Eragon!
*Planted - A and I sowed some seeds in the garden and tried to tidy up a little. Not growing much but some lettuce and some chard for the smoothies would be good.

There will be more I’ve missed, but that will do for now. I hate knowing I have to blog and it gets longer and longer without me getting chance. Feel like I need to draw a line and start again!
