Tuesday Shayla got her new glasses, she looks awesome and is so happy she can see clearly now. Of course she chose the funkiest teenage pairs Looking very cool and beautiful.
Ok so today was one of those days, we didn't go to any firework displays last night, Ariel was exhausted and asleep by 6.30, we had done a fair bit of walking yesterday.
Shayla wasn't in the least bit bothered, we could see plenty from the window and it saved paying an absolute fortune to stand in the cold, listening to dreadful music which is horrendously loud every year and getting covered in mud, which is what we normally do. Also auntie is taking her to a display Friday. Shhh she doesn't know ;)
We did spend yesterday, visiting the doctor for the second time in 2 days, for me, stiff neck and Asthma, then we wondered about our favorite places again... never know if you might miss something :) (charity shops) picked up some lovely bits as usual, Shay got a beautiful velvet scarf and super soft pair of gloves, it was very chilly yesterday. She also got a pretty decoration which is now hanging in the hall.
As usual our collection of books increased.
Yes it says boys but who cares :)
The storybook that has been read already.....
I got son a lovely silver box (he collects unique things, gets that from his mother).
We cracked and bought the 2 silver cushions we had noticed last week (£1.50 each).
Also got some new bed sheets and quilt covers, perfect condition £2 each and pillowcases for 50P plus a large white one which can be used as a template for repairing the sofas large cushions (recycling) 2 lovely brown cushion covers perfect for the 2 small cushions.
The girls were up early as usual, Ariel wrote our instructions for the day on the whiteboard
She also made some amazing pictures using buttons and wrote 'frozen' so clearly, she decided to have a Frozen day and has been watching and singing along with the DVD.
Flowers made with buttons
This is Elsa making her bridge in frozen
Ariel has now moved on to Barbie so some interesting artwork later I expect.
We don't really watch television, only once every 2 weeks when GS is over or if it's Bear Grylls, Shay loves survival programmes) so DVD's are a treat
Shazzy has been hard at it on you guessed it Minecraft

Don't ever tell me Minecraft isn't educational, ask Shay how to make cakes, glass, what that tree is called, what that rock is called etc etc Amazing learning tool!
So today we finally signed up to the Khan Academy after cuz sent us the link reminding us :) https://www.khanacademy.org/ Shayla starting with Paleolithic Art, currently working on Nude woman (Venus of Willendorf ) 50% complete and achieved badge of persistence.
Now She is doing an hour of Scratch and laughing so much.
Followed by 5 minutes on a Miniclip game called Sushi, which she explained all about to me, involving decision making, maths etc http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/
I have Torticollis at the moment so am taking things easy (ish)
Disaster of the day... Double quilt and cover shredded in the washing machine!!!
Never mind these things happen.
I am listening to this:
and Shayla is listening to this:
What did the squid say
Ariel is watching Frozen for the 2nd time today, I guess it's a winner :)
This is my favourite:)))
Let it Blow
We have just made a huge veg casserole that will feed us for days :) and Shayla has come up with a new experiment for next week, following on from our OU science course about solids and liquids and how they behave, she want's to see if she can make chocolate jelly so watch this space....
