Marble run

After reading an article in the paper about marble runs owen and I made one this afternoon. Made of junk and attached to the stairs it's not a bad effort. To be extended once more junk becomes available. Ideally we'd like to go from the loft room down but for now not a bad start. Won't fit in one picture...












I challenge anyone to build a longer or better one.

Swings

Tricky little blighters, here's Aidans first stab at one. Mostly dangling and not much swinging but still not a bad first effort.

Dressing up

Isaac as the amazing spiderman, owen as sporticus, tabitha as a policewoman.

George Dawes

I know this is old now - by at least two months, so in the internet age... a lifetime - but its just brilliant. I stumbled on it again recently.

Crackly woods

A nature reserve/woods with a 2 km pushchair friendly path round the edge, perfect for a stroll and lots of jumping in muddy puddles and climbing trees.

The boys

Murder

This was ages ago now but I've been a little off the blogging pace recently. Naomi's birthday was a murder mystery dinner party. Happily, and much to his annoyance, I was able to wear alex's normal clothes as a costume. Even more happily I'm not in this picture.

Half term track construction

Gaffer, cut up juice cartons and some plastic track. Nice.
