Keeping on keeping on.

I haven't blogged for a few days for a number of reasons.  Granny has arrived for the week, while A has departed for the third and final big trip in 4 weeks, to Hong Kong this time by far the furthest he's been for work.  I dread to think how exhausted he'll be flying half way round the world and back in the space of 4.5 days!

So what have we been up to?  Well K & M are still very pleased with their video purchases and have watched them several times over the past week.  We're also still having fun with Christmas preparations, with both K & M finding, planning and making presents for folks.

The body is still featuring quite strongly.  Each of the girls had a go at adding the names of the bones from to our skeleton print out, using the labels that came with the felt one we borrowed from friends, plus some extra ones that I added. 

Granny also brought a folder with a few more bits and pieces about the body, including a couple of posters that we looked at and managed to identify most bones and most of the major internal organs or viscera as the poster called them!

Today was the final Fun Club of the year, which is always a Christmas concert.  This involves turns by anybody or wants to perform something, from singing, playing, acting, poetry reading.  As usual there were some lovely performances.  M played three Christmas songs on the piano, I was particularly proud of the fact that when she went quite badly wrong on one of them, she didn't panic, get upset or bothered, but calmly stopped, started again and played it perfectly on her second attempt.
