Lost Blogs and Busy Weeks.

It seems to have been a hell of a week, what with all the dashing around for auditions, HE groups, ballet classes, swimming, piano & drama and the film crew visiting our house twice this week. Re registering for spotlight and giving puppet making workshops. I have barely had time to chill and i sit here now with my brain boggled as i type, why? I cannot find my old blog. I can read it but i can't access it therefore i can't transfer it to my new blog. HRUMPH!!!
Don't let anyone tell you HE kids are unsocialised, far from it. Never will i worry about Erin taking her steps into the big wide world she is more than able to tackle it and full on.
As for friends, she has lots. Some mean more to her than others, just like in real life. Isn't this what it's about equipping them for real life.

This week alone she has tackled some reading head on of her own accord and has been working away at the whiteboard telling me what it is that she is writing as she copies from a book at 8am. This has NOT been instigated by me. I'm far too half asleep and in need of tea to be thinking about lessons and writing at that time in the morning.
Now we go into the half term holidays and as usual many of her activities have stopped. Normally i am antsy about this having holidays enforced upon us but i have to say this time round i am relishing the break. The chance to just chill......except as i say this a list pops into my head of things i have to do, phone calls i have to make.

Also now i have sold the trailer i want to start on our cabin. Something that will replace the garage and basically become our 'conservatory' the vision is that it will open onto a veranda and lead out onto decking in our ever so lopsided garden. This will give our long awaited for bbq, chill area without constantly sitting at a 45 degree angle not great when there is a glass of wine that was in front of you but has now gone over the edge straight into the grass.
I'm hoping we will fit in electric, heating, fridge, microwave, sofa and lots of HE stuff enabling us to use the garden space almost year round.
My intention over time is to run puppet workshops from this space and enjoy some serious forest skills along the lines of building a firepit getting a dutch oven and several other items that will really help us enjoy our outside in and our inside out.
That is of course if can get kev to not attempt to build one from scratch thus having a cabin when I'm about 102 (yes it would take him that long) instead i must convince him that we buy one ready made and just decide on whether or not to put it up ourselves or get someone to do it.
Watch this space...........
