First of all Lucy on her birthday in the park with her cake.
Ben, Beth, Davies and Tarly sitting playing with a magnetic drawing toy. Davies was telling the story and Beth was illustrating it. It kept them amused for ages:
Yesterday at Ali’s Ali made bath bombs with the children. We used the little fizzy red creation with added glitter tonight in their bath – thanks Ali 🙂
Afterwards I had a deal with Davies, Scarlett and Freya that I’d read them two Elmer stories and then they had to go and play for the last half an hour so we could chat. I didn’t take my storytelling quite as seriously as Ali took her science however and was mainly telling it for Ali and my own amusement giving the elephants regional accents as we read. I think all five of us ended up slightly hysterical, albeit for slightly different reasons! 😆 Ali says she has pics so you’ll have to add her to your flickr contacts and obsessively keep refreshing the page until she posts them!
I’ve some pics of today too but I’ll post about that and add them in the relevant places.
