Dinosaur eggs, waiting for their next coat of papier mache.

This morning, of her own accord, Monkey Girl referred to this book to work out which colour her brontosaurus should be in her colouring picture.

These are from a jigsaw but I covered the radiator in them for the girls to look at. They spent a great deal of time today working out which one they wanted to be.
Monkey Girl also spent a great deal of time today being a dinosaur egg (!) so we had some quiet for a time. :)

I set up a dinosaur land, complete with tunnel and cave, for the girls last night, for when they woke up this morning. Lots of ooohs and aaahs about the new dinosaur window display and then squeals when they opened the front room door :)

Fresh air time was during a downpour so the children kitted themselves out in suitable attire and went off to find some puddles.

Panda Girl :)

The girls had a trip to the dentists to have their teeth scrubbed and polished. Papa took them and we promised that if there were no tears, we would take them, as a special treat, to Activity Land. They were good, came home with sparkling white teeth and so Mummy made a pic-nic to take to Activity Land... We had very tired children by 5pm...

Rock climbing :)

Digging for Dinosaur bones with Papa.

Panda Girl learning to drive.

The Caribbean window display

This morning the girls made fruit kebabs.

Caribbean fruit kebabs!

I wrote a book for Ballet Girl and she read it and drew appropriate pictures. Big reading progression today :)

Today's worksheets.

Monkey Girl made a Caribbean island out of plasticine :)

At Playgroup this afternoon. I face-painted them before we left:

Playing in the garden before dinner. I put on some great Caribbean music in my studio (at the bottome of the garden) and the girls had a good dance. Here they were practising their gym tumbling :)

Papa has had a whole week off work this week so we had a day off today, although Ballet Girl did paint a big Caribbean picture.
