M has decided that she wants to do some French, which I have been suggesting as we're going on holiday to France later in the year. She had a look at this site, which I think is pretty good but M decided that she'd rather learn from me. So we've been doing bits and pieces and although we haven't done any French for about a year, I was pleasantly surprised how much both K & M could remember of colours, numbers and more. Still on the subject of French, M bought herself a French knitting doll yesterday and both she and K have been making a rather large family of snakes, mostly while listening to me reading Harry Potter. Both K & M have been doing a bit more Timez Attack too.
Each girl received a letter from Granny this week, she has invited K to stay for a couple of nights on her own with her and Big Grandad. They are going to come and fetch her one Friday and then M has been invited to go down and stay for a few more nights, taking me with her, before we all come home again. M has been struggling with the fact that K is going to get to go on her own, even though she knows that she will be doing the same on her own at some point in the not too distant future. Even so, she has RSVP'd to Granny's invitation and I'm just waiting for K to do the same so I can post them.
We discovered that the 'fossils' we made at Asfordby didn't quite turn out successfully. We have learned from our mistakes though (the plaster of Paris leaked through, so left only a very thin layer, which wasn't robust enough to break the clay off without breaking it too) and have everything necessary to have another go if we fancy it.
On Wednesday we met up with a new HEing family, L and her daughter E at a local soft play place. M had told me quite determinedly that she didn't want to play with anyone else and only liked playing on her own before we went. However by the time it was time to head home, all three girls we playing together beautifully and I know my girls are hoping to meet up again soon.
