Shhhhh

What is it about walking through the woods that makes you want to whisper? The kids and I found another "wild" place in the park the other day, and as soon as we entered it Lois started to talk in a whisper. No one told her to, she just did it. Any ideas as to why we do this? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I am aware that I haven't posted any new pictures in a while, so here are some us the kids in the garden today. We decided to mke a tent while we wait to fly to America tomorrow.

Oh Dear

Yesterday Lois and I were looking at the flowers on our strawberry plant when decided to pick one. I told her that we couldn't pick the flowers because that is where the strawberries would go. She immediately said "No, no, strawberries come from Tesco"(our supermarket). Boy am I glad that we are growing some things this year so she can learn where food really comes from.

Snow

Snow has finally come to Coventry!

Okay, so maybe it's not real snow, but it's almost as pretty. I decided to look for paper snowflake patterns on the internet and found this and this. I think they are two of the nicest snowflakes I've seen. I also found a video on how to make a 3D snowflake, but I ran out of paper so I haven't had a chance to make it yet.

Something that made me smile

I put Casey on the floor with a cushion on either side of him so I could wash the dishes and he wouldn't get hurt if he fell over, and I heard Lois laughing so I came out to have a look. This is what I saw.

She had put blankets all around him! What a good Big Sister.

I took this picture of Casey





















and thought I'd seen that face somewhere before...
























Can you tell they're siblings? I sure think so.
