First in a series…

They’re here!

Already been out on a mercy mission this morning towing my Dad’s van (again!) 🙄

We put away all the various things the children deemed ‘too precious’ to have played with by other children and we built a great big brio track and got out the Dora house.

J & M arrived, Julie very nervously went off again, they played with the brio and the Dora house for all of about 30 seconds and are now all up in Davies’ bedroom! Early indications from sounds drifting down the stairs indicate they are having a great time but it is likely to end in tears quite soon!

Tick those boxes and give me a certificate!

I made a deal with Scarlett last night. If she wants to sleep in our bed she can but it means she has to give her dummies up. Of course this could have backfired big time but I was trading on how much she adores her dummies. And guess what? It worked! 🙂 She appeared in our bedroom at around 6.30am (Ady’s normal getting up time anyway) saying ‘I did it! I stayed in my room all night and now it’s morning time!’ So hurrah 🙂

By the time I came downstairs they’d already got stuck into the plasticine I bought yesterday and Davies had made a rather good array of W&G characters.

He was really pleased with them and decided he wanted to put on a film for us so Scarlett and I settled down to watch it but it quickly became clear that he hadn’t done much preparation and we were really just watching him play. 😉 So I explained that films are made by creating a story and a script first and planning it out. I talked through the plot line of Were Rabbit with him about introducing the characters, the place they live, what their interests are if it’s relevant and the beginning of a storyline. Then suggested that something scary to add suspense or funny to add humour is always good, then usually something dramatic like a car chase or other action before finally tying up all loose ends with an ending to the story. (We’ll cover soundtracks and sequels next time 😉 ). Got some paper and told him about the idea of a story board which he has actually seen on some of ‘making of’ dvd extras he’s watched so we divided a sheet of paper into 12 squares and I got him to start planning out his storyline.

Then once he was happy with his plot line I got him to have a few practise runs with his characters.

Meanwhile Scarlett and I made some figures too. Anyone guess who they could be by the distinguishing features? 😉

Then we settled down to watch Davies’ new improved planned out show and I brushed Tarly’s hair while we watched. Can’t say it really followed his story board but he confessed he’d been happy with it but then changed it as he went along! Ah well, the idea has gone in anyway. 🙂

Dad arrived then so I shot off to the local post office and the children put away the plasticine, Davies showed Dad his storyboard and they went back to playing with the geomags. Mum arrived a while afterwards bringing stuff for lunch so we all ate and the children had TV on for a while, while we chatted.

After lunch Mum and Scarlett played with the plasticine again and made some baskets of fruit

While Davies and I finally got out the owl puke he had for Christmas and read the book about owls and then gathered all the various bits we needed for disecting the owl pellet.

Davies really enjoyed that and we dug out loads of bones and bits which he really enjoyed using the book to identify and sort. Scarlett came and had a little dig about too and they both delighted in grossing out their grandparents with their graphic talk about eating rodents, owls puking up like cats and how all the stuff around the bones in the pellet was dead animals fur! Mum didn’t seem to grasp it was genuine and kept saying how good the shrews skull was, bless her :-). He did get bored towards the very end and although we sorted all the bones I can’t imagine we’ll do any skeleton reassembling – it looks too fiddly for him to do himself, particularly pre-reading and I don’t think I really want animal skeletons cluttering the place up anyway! Good little ‘experimenty type’ kit though.

Ady came home while all this was still going on so he was chopping wood and stuff while I sorted the kids tea, then everyone seemed to disappear and the kids were still bouncing on space hoppers so I got them pj’d up and read them the pile of library books we got earlier in the week to calm them down a bit. The firm favourite was a Quentin Blake Mrs. Armitage book – we’ve read one about her previously and it really captured them both then.

I’ve also made bird food in tins to string on the tree outside as we are now getting regular bird visitors which I want to encourage.

Just before bed Davies went round the house gathering up all the various W&G stuff he has collected and set it up as ‘a display’ which he then insisted on taking photos of:

Mum and Dad left, the children are asleep and I’m about to get dinner sorted, enjoy a bath and a glass of wine and try to stop being nervous about all those children tomorrow! To add to my stress levels I’ve invited Mel to bring Liam and Lily over for tea after school! We’ve not seen them since before Christmas and as much as i hate the tidying up after one of their visits it will justify not bothering after Jack and Maisie come and give Davies a fix of older than 3 year old playmate which I think he’ll enjoy! 🙂

Oh and I’ve added pics to the post below too.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind…

D’you know I reckon I’ve got the hang of this Home Ed lark. Well at least until tomorrow 😉

We’ve had another good day here today although I did lose my temper with Scarlett and yell once I don’t think it was entirely unjustified and blimey did it make her move! 😈

First thing the children were playing with geomags and soft toys while I did some washing and generally faffed around. I got into my head that I wanted to read up on Key Stages and National Curriculum so that I could mentally weigh up any glaring gaps in the ‘stuff’ Davies can do – and probably then just brag to anyone who’d listen about actually how well he is doing, well my Dad anyway. So I was messing around online trying to find a simple laid out basic list of the goals etc. Not as straightforward as you’d think really 🙄

I did read through the Foundation / Reception stuff and was very happy to note that both the children are fine in respect of the 3-5 stuff anyway. I guess it was a semi-pointless exercise as it’s only remotely likely to be literacy and numeracy that are quantifiable anyway (everything else must surely get lumped into general knowledge and just living although I know they categorise it in far more detail – y’know that National Currciculum was obviously written by someone like me wasn’t it – why use two words if a whole paragraph will do! 😉 ) and I’m more than happy with his progress via autonomous educating with occassional forays into forced Bob book reading and supermarket counting!

So I was trying to concentrate on a bit that waffled about children being able to get themselves dressed independantly or with help or not at all or not even knowing what clothes were or something and Scarlett got yelled at for being clumsy and giddy and falling over the geomags so I told them they both had to get dressed by themselves! And they did 🙂 And then I continued my rant having read about getting suitable attire for outdoor pursuits on independantly or with help or not at all and heading out without a vest on in February with bare feet. And they managed that too. Davies was in the hall whispering to himself and I shouted at him thinking he might be muttering bad things or putting curses on me and he came in having made a start of tying his shoelaces (our latest in house row, with me veering between insisting he’d have to do it if he was in school and he’d better bloody learn, being all patient and doing one shoe while he does the other and just doing it for him as it’s quicker and we never leave the house until we are running 10 minutes late anyway so faffing with shoelaces just makes us later!). So it turned out the whispering was him reciting some poem he’d seen on Little Bill or Sali Mali or something about how to tie your shoelaces 😳 …

Off to soft play where we were followed in by Lucy who I’d texted yesterday to say we’d be going there so we sat and chatted for ages and then Julie and the twins arrived too. The kids had a ball, all played together really nicely and me, Lucy and Julie had interesting chats about parenting, Home Ed and other general life stuff. Lucy then headed off, me and Julie and children had lunch and chatted to another woman who just had the look of a Home Educator about her but we didn’t pluck up the courage to ask and then we went back in for a final hour’s play.

It was quite busy in there today, particularly after lunch and we were amused and slightly grossed out by witnessing two urine related accidents within the ball pool and tunnels! Nothing to do with our children although me and Julie did end up dealing with one little boy who’s mother had buggered off to the cafe. I’d thought he’d been there with a bloke and so was asking him where his daddy was which upset and confused him as apparently ‘My Daddy is at work. Why isn’t my Daddy at work then?’ Poor child! Both of my two found new friends there to include in their games as usual which is always heartwarming so it was a very nice day there.

We came home via the Wizard store as I had a need for retail therapy however frugal so for under a fiver we picked up some plasticine, a couple of crafty kits (one with straws and one with sparkly wool for glitter knitting!), some foam beads with a plastic needle and thread, a small globe and some bubble mixture. Scarlett blew bubbles til she got lightheaded while Davies and I looked at the globe for a while and then got out an atlas and compared various things on there. I showed him whereabouts in the UK we live, where we lived in Manchester and where we were at Melrose. We talked a bit about the continents, capital cities and about how the UK is an island very small in comparison to other places. All very basic stuff but still about twice what would be covered in an hour’s lesson at school :-).

We did the straw craft for a very short time and then Davies started playing with the geomags while Scarlett resumed bubble blowing so I ignored them for a while and went online. Davies then brought me a geomag fish he’d made and then turned it into a shark by adding a fin. He made a couple more fish and then I started helping with some more fish, a crab, a very unsuccessful seahorse ;-), a starfish and an aborted attempt at an octopus. Davies did a deep sea diver, a clown fish (doing alternate white and red rods with me having to ‘pretend the red ones are orange Mummy!’ and a few more small fish. It all looked really good 🙂


Then I showed him a variation on the Krampf experiment of a couple of weeks ago based on that executive toy with ball bearings on strings in a cradle. Krampt used coins but we used geomag balls and I lined 6 up and showed him that if you knock one into the row then one moves the other side, if you knock two then two move and so on. He really liked that and was very interested in how it worked and even explained it to Ady in great detail – and very accurately – when he got home so that was physics more than ticked 😉

Finally we did an experiment to test how many balls you could lift with one rod, how many with two rods, how many with three rods and so on to see if it increased with more rods. I got Davies to write down the numbers of rods and balls so he’d remember and he then explained it to Ady referring to his notes and recreating it for Ady too. So writing, maths and the general basics of how to conduct an experiment and record your findings all covered.

All sounds like loads really but I probably spent less than an hour doing it and all with no preparation at all. Coupled with that we pulled off socialising and physical activity too. 🙂

Tomorrow Mum is coming over at lunchtime (and bringing lunch from M&S hurrah!) and on Friday I am looking after Jack and Maisie for a few hours. This is actually a HUGE deal as I don’t think I’ve ever looked after anyone else’s children ever. Infact I know I havn’t. So I’m relying heavily on Davies to entertain all of them for me while I try hard not to think about the huge weight of responsibility weighing down in having all of the next generation of Goddards’s under my irresponsible, unethical, childish and intolerant control! 😉

Fat Tuesday :-)

I was mid post and the laptop crashed when I put the photocard reader in 👿

So, I had mentioned how nice an evening we had last night with Frazer. Just chit-chat, wine drinking, very good curry if I do say so myself (loving my slow cooker 🙂 ) but all very pleasant.

Dreadful night’s sleep with Tarly appearing within moments of me getting into bed at about 11.30pm wailing about wanting to sleep in our bed. She tossed and turned and talked in her sleep until I gave up around 3am and went off to her bed. The rest of the house woke at 6am and the children were in and out of her room until I gave in and got up at 7. So feeling pretty tired today but determined to remain in a good mood as it just has such an impact on the children’s behaviour when I am cheerier.

First thing I drank tea and caught up online – enjoying all the ‘complimentary’ stuff people have been saying about me in the windows ;-). The children predictably did their version of normals – watching W&G and playing with geomags and soft toys 😉 Davies made his own geomag version of cusinaire rods (just can’t spell that word!)
He’s been playing with number concepts a lot again lately but as usual he backs right off if I try and get involved or suggest stuff so I’m leaving him to it, praising when I can and answering any questions he asks.

Then Scarlett got out her princess paints and painting book and did some of that very nicely and accurately. I do have a picture but she was only wearing a vest and on closer viewing it is not altogether suitable so I shan’t post it! Davies watched something about Egypt on Class TV while I made his chocolate factory, which turned out to be rather fiddly and not at all sturdy enough to withstand much playing with but he seems to like it.

They played with that for a while and I looked up some info about Shrove Tuesday online and then told them a bit about Easter, the symbolism of Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs and how some people believe Jesus died for all our sins. We made a geomag cross and a geomag Jesus so I could illustrate how he died (geomags, the ultimate educational prop!) and then we talked about Lent, giving things up, why pancakes are made on Shrove Tuesday / Pancake Day and how they’re made. Not sure how much went in but Davies at least seemed to pay attention to it all.

Then I headed into the kitchen and made up some batter which I left to rest while I sorted out the kitchen cupboards in a vain attempt to find a frying pan I am still sure we have somewhere. It was fruitless and it would probably be impossible to the casual observer that I’ve done so but I did reorganise them a bit at the same time. Also stuck three loads of washing on the line as it was breezy and sunny. I’ve just brought them in actually as it started to snow but it saved them being draped round the house or in the tumble drier for hours, they are now just damp and airing.

I then had a little production line of pancakes going with the children reappearing every few minutes for more as I cooked them. I’ve made another batch of batter up this afternoon and there is a large pile of them waiting for the kids tea and for me and Ady to eat this evening. There may well be a knack to pancake making but with each lot of batter I veered between expertly good turning out consistently well cooked, wafer thin, perfectly round pancakes which I could toss like a pro to turning about every fourth one into a soggy heap so I’m inclined to think it is more to do with luck!

I’ve offered reading aloud several times today but no one has taken me up on it (ingrates!) prefering instead to experiment with geomags and a magnetic Dora book and a variety of cutlery 🙄 – ah well I’m sure there’s lots of science in there somewhere!

It’s just another laid back Monday…

It’s been a pretty nice day today actually. The children have been really, really well behaved, which means I’ve managed to remain calm, patient and loving all day and it does make such a difference if I’m not watching the clock from about 3pm gagging for my first glass of wine and for them to go to bed!

First thing they watched W&G twice 🙄 and played with geomags, currently the game with them is to create one dimensional characters using the rods as straight lines and the balls as joints – skeleton style really. So Davies creates his W&G line up and then ‘plays’ with them. Scarlett’s current favourite game is using about eight of the soft toys who usually live on her bed. She brings them into the lounge, lines them up in a very specific order and proceeds to do what I suppose is her equivalent of me playing with my teddies and creating tea parties or picnics when I was a child. At least three times a day I will bung them all back in her bedroom and at least three times a day she will go and retrieve them and line them all up again!

I spent some time working out a shopping list for this week’s dinners and then we headed off to Sainsburys. Davies elected to sit in the trolley (a real squeeze!) and Tarly wanted to walk alongside me. They were perfect children for the whole time we were in there which must have been close to an hour as we were talking and counting and stuff as we went round. Scarlett walked round the whole of the fruit and veg naming stuff and asking whether we needed it. A woman actually stopped and listened and said to me ‘she knows more about fruit and veg than most eight year olds!’ I laughed and said ‘yes but she doesn’t actually eat any of them!’ which isn’t strictly true but she was pulling off a good impression of a vegan and it scared me! 😉 She helped count six carrots into a bag and learnt about checking for freshness / ripeness on certain things. Green bananas as we already have a couple of yellow ones at home, firm grapes rather than squishy ones, that sort of thing. They begged for strawberries so I got some and we had a chat about them not being seasonal and how plants and flowers are ‘forced’ or ‘hothoused’ at times of year or even countries they wouldn’t naturally grow in.

Round and about the aisles with Davies reaching the higher stuff from his trolley vantage point and Tarly bending down for lower stuff, lots of counting for Tarly and addition maths for Davies. They even managed to keep it together while I loaded the conveyor belt, packed and paid so I was really really pleased with them. 🙂

We then headed to the library where we had several books to return. As we left the house the post had arrived with my HEAS newsletter and a couple of World Book Day tokens so we popped into the bookshop in town too. Davies originally chose the Harry & The Bucket of Dinosaurs book out for the WBD promotion but they didn’t have any of the more girlie titles in yet and then Davies spotted a make your own Willy Wonka’s factory book and Tarly spotted a Paint A Princess book complete with heart shaped watercolours so as they’d been so good at the supermarket I added a couple of quid each to their tokens and sent them off to pay for them, which they both did beautifully with plenty of pleases, thank yous and lots of chatting to the shop assistant. I was really pleased to see the delight with which they ran to the children’s section at the back of the bookshop actually. They dashed down there, carefully selected a title each off the shelves and settled straight down on the floor to ‘read’ them. Scarlett adores those ‘That’s not my….’ Usborne books, we have that’s not my bunny and that’s not my fairy at home and they are firm favourites of hers. There was a That’s not my mermaid version which she read through making good guesses on what it said. I love how much they love books. 🙂

Then we went back to the library and spent about 20 minutes sat on the floor there looking through children’s books. They both chose a couple each and I chose a couple of carefully selected ones for them too. While I was looking they’d sat close to each other flicking through a book together and deciding what they thought it was about from the pictures. Davies then grabbed a craft activity book too so we got all those out and came home.

I offered to read to them or for them to do their new painting / Willy Wonka books but they declined and went back to their games for the rest of the afternoon. So I flicked through the YH booklet that also arrived in the post marking off ones available for Halloween with enough beds that are not too far for Joyce. Slightly limits the choice really 😉 I’ll shortlist the ones that qualify and then check availability before posting a short list in the next couple of days for us to decide on and get booked.

Frazer is here for dinner tonight (chicken curry already sorted in the slow cooker 🙂 ) so I’ve been grilling him about Fiona 😉 whilst the kids leapt around him on their space hoppers for a mad half hours exercise at the end of the day.

Tomorrow I have planned pancake making, some reading and maybe some bird seed cake making as we seem to be attracting a fair few feathery visitors to our original ones which the children are loving watching through the big lounge window so I want to keep encouraging that.

He drinks the lager drink, he drinks the cider drink…

We’ve been to Chris and Julie’s today. Chris said he’d take Ady to this off road four wheel drive thingy place for his birthday present last year so he thought he’d better actually follow it through before his birthday this year rolls round 🙂 They were semi planning on taking Davies but decided at the last minute that he was probably happier playing with Tarly, Jack and Maisie and Ady wanted to check it out first for suitability. So me and Julie stayed at their house with the children while Ady and Chris went off with one of Chris’ mates to do blokey, brotherly, bonding stuff. They came back quite muddy about four hours later only able to communicate through the power of the male grunt and with testosterone levels so high you could taste them in the air! 😉 Well they enjoyed it anyway. Ady might flickr later on adybloke I suspect. It sounded ace actually, I’m quite jealous. Towing mishaps aside I really like driving and would love to have a go at something like that. I once harboured a childhood ambition to learn to drive HGVs (although I think it could have been inspired by Long Distance Clara in Pigeon Street tbh!), so I made them promise I can go too and have a go next time. 🙂

The children pretty much entertained themselves, there was much jumping on Jack and Maisie’s beds, playing with their pretend food and kitchen and then we let them outside for about an hour where they did lots of running around and digging in mud and came back in with rosy winter cheeks glowing and runny noses.

Julie and I drank tea, talked about Melrose, Kessingland, HESFES, teenage sex and drug taking, Home Education, LEAs and home visits, Educational Philosophies, Feminism, what we considered ourselves to ‘be’ when completing forms (Julie’s a ‘housewife’, I am resolutely NOT and I explained why – mostly because I could get arrested under the trades descriptions act if I tried to pretend to be such a thing but also because it is so not what I do)), what exactly feminism is and what the patriarchy is, how our views and what we get angry and riled about change over time and so on. We also discussed books – she’s reading We need to talk about Kevin just now and recommends it. Interesting chats all round really.

Ady and Chris came back around 3.30pm and we watched Chris’ video footage of the day which was exciting as it was just him sticking the vidoe camera up to the windscreen and then we headed for home via McDs for the kids’ tea.

The children had a bath and I read them all but two of a boxed set of Fairy stories – so we had Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretel and The Frog Prince. They really like having stories in the bath and it does restrict the amount of crazy splashing they do. 🙂

Scarlett is already fast asleep having run around and bounced about for most of the day, Davies is still fighting sleep but unlikely to last much longer. Roast dinner is cooking, bath is run and wine is a-waiting. 🙂

Tomorrow is Day One of the Five Week Rolling Menu and I will be creating my shopping list and shopping accordingly.

And finally the title of this post is a lyric from Tubthumping by Chumbawamba who I only knew of from that particular song being *everywhere* in about 1997, their lesser played follow up Amnesia and the fact that one of them chucked a jug of water over John Prescott at The Brits. I thought they’d gone off to the big collection of 90s stuff in the sky along with 2 Unlimited, Gary Barlow and global hypercolour T shirts but it would appear not. At this very moment they are part of a festival of folky type artists touring the country and Julie went to see them last week. She put on their cd which she bought at the concert and it certainly bore no resemblance to anyone getting knocked down and getting back up again. Just rather surprised me is all.

I’ve met Fiona!

My brother has this girlfriend. Now this is Quite Big News for several reasons. Firstly he is 30 this year and still lives at home and has not to my knowledge had a girlfriend since Kelly Chapman when we were at middle school! Secondly there was this theory doing the rounds (well OK Ady thought) he might be gay. Thirdly, well it just brings out the annoying big sister in me and despite being 32, married and with two children of my own the temptation to sing songs about Frazer and Fiona up a tree is just toooo great! 🙂

So we’ve known that Fiona exists for a couple of weeks now. Dad told us about her first and then I quizzed Frazer about her and he was all newly in love and gushing about her. Now they have spent practically every night for the last month either at my parents or at her place together so it all seems a bit grown up and serious. And frankly my biggest worry is for my children – if Frazer ever had kids they would imediately usurp my children in my parent’s affections and I bet they’d send them to proper school and not take them to youth hostels in Scotland and fields in Suffolk! And it would make Christmas even more expensive! 😉

So my parents have met Fiona and in Mum’s eyes she’s quickly gone from ‘Fiona’ said in hushed and awed tones as in ‘Fiona – the one who is going to take Frazer off my hands, sort him out once and for all, make him leave home, start eating a wider diet than McCains Oven Chips and toast and maybe give me grandchildren with Davies as a last name instead of just a first one!’ to ‘That Fiona’ said with utter disdain and all hope dashed. Apparently she wears scruffy shoes and utterly failed to engage with my Mum in conversation about favourite baby names. Or something.

This afternoon I popped round the shop for some poppadums and lemonade and there was the usual group of teenagers hanging around the shop trying to persuade people going in to buy cigarettes and cinzano for them and as I went in a saw a scruffy looking woman looking a bit shifty and sort of skulking about inside the shop. I stood next to this bloke who was standing infront of the poppadums and he looked at me and said hello and I realised it was Frazer. At which point I realised the scruffy woman was standing rather close to us and was about to take Frazer’s arm and lead him away from her incase she was a loony stalker type when he introduced as us. Yep indeed this was Fiona! She’s clearly very shy as she sort of muttered ‘hello’ and then sped off into another aisle leaving us to chat for a while. We then queued up together and she continued to wander round the shop coming over occassionally to rest her head on his shoulder and ask if he wanted red or white wine (wine! wine? my brother doesn’t drink wine!). But anyway she seems to have had a very positive effect on him. He was very much ‘the man’ putting his arm round her and doing lots of ‘looking after her’ type body language. He’s actually quite quiet, shy and lacking in confidence so I guess he was never going to pair up with someone loud, overbearing or OTT really. Hopefully I’ll get to meet her again in some other situation. Ady was dead jealous though when I burst in the front door yelling ‘I’ve seen Fiona! Na na na nanah!!!’. My family, as mature as Hugh’s group of friends when Julia Roberst comes to dinner! 🙂

In other news today, Dad came over and teased Tarly then he and Ady went to get some logs. Tarly played with some scales, a calculator and the toy till. I started my career as a checkout operator 🙂 Her and I also did some reading today although we’ve not tried 100EL lessons yet. Then she brought out all her Dora books – I think she has about 12 – so we looked at them.

Davies has played with the geomags for ages, watched W&G, did lots of drawings on his easel and cultivated a whole new range of gestures and facial expressions to use while wearing his glasses 🙂 They really suit him actually, he has his old fogey / mad professor / quirky ways anyway and they sort of help! He only wore them for about ten minutes but there’s certainly no reluctance to do so.

And Ady, well he chopped wood!

Dad hung around for lunch and then headed off, Ady and the kids spent ages bouncing on space hoppers while I read various things about feminism and pondered long and deep on it. Then got bored of that and did some more trivial blog quizzes! 🙂 I also made snickerdoodles again which went down just as well as last weekend.

We also watched a Michael Jackson show on VH1 so we were singing along and Davies was trying to recreate some of the dancing 🙂 Good old Jacko eh! 🙂

yeah I’d go with that

Rise
Your wise quote is: “Our greatest glory is not

in never falling, but in rising everytime we

fall” by Confucius.
Yes indeed, you see true strenght can only be

seen when a person has “fallen”.

Only then one can tell how they will handle

it. Just don’t make others fall so you can

know who they really are. You on the other

hand may be a very quick recoverer and don’t

let people bring you down. You are your own,

and you’re find with that. Emotional issues

is something you handle rather nicely.
