A momentous occasion for FI- being invested as a Beaver. She was VERY proud of herself- and theres just something about the 'my uniform is drowning me- cos mummy insisted on buying it sooo big' look (I know most mums get that with the school uniform thing- but I never have- for obvious reasons!). They have been out and busy working at their allotment, going on hikes and having an Italian night complete with spaghetti modelling (cooked!!)
We have been doing a little work with SJ on his handwriting and presentation. Thus we have visited some poetry - copying out and decorating. This has proved to be very popular!! with FI getting in on the act too- so we have had poems about bats, autumn and witches.
Last weekend evolved into having a Superhero theme since we found a "I'm a Superhero Kit" belonging to TP at the back of a cupboard- complete with his cape, wristlets and mask. Ended up spending the weekend producing further accessories for all- lots of 'flying' around the house- a little kickboxing needed to be discouraged. Then we all sat down and watched Superman III together- so deliciously dated and corny (isnt it funny watching things you grew up with, again with your adult eyes!) and the best bit I got to crochet a few squares for my blanket pile (almost halfway there with 200 squares)
Now we have moved onto Halloween activities as the outside seems to be saturated with it and we are off to Cub camp next weekend which has a Halloween theme- hence two Vampire capes and a witches outfit are currently hanging in the wardrobe....
