How's your Summer Hols So far?

[Urchin]

Anyone ready for September?

We're having a fab time

We've been to the farm loads, swimming a few times, to the park, Mason has had friends around to play. We've done painting, play-doh, sticking and other crafty stuff.

Our latest things is Bugs If you saw the thread I made on our new pet you'll know what I mean.
Mason already has a bug hunting kit, with a magnifying glass, little pot and a clear container and everything After the caterpillar arrived and I was trying to find out what it was I decided to get some books, so far we have 4
It's been great, we go out in the garden everyday (Brody absolutely LOVES it) we go into the garden and lift the rocks and try to identify what we see, and Mason puts a little sticker next to the bugs in the book we've found. Soon we're gonna go to a place with ponds and stuff and look for dragonflies and pond skaters.
One night soon we're going to set up a white sheet and a bright light for moths too (when the moth book arrives )

So....what have you lot been up to? Maybe we could post pics in here of our older kids doing stuff?

no problems here - although I've had to work a lot these holidays Josh has been happy to either come into work with me or be dropped off at skating instead The good weather has helped though.

We haven't been able to have many days out becuase of work, but managed a day trip a few weeks ago. he was meant to be away for a week with a friend this week, but refused to go because of his new cousin arriving

We are going away just for 5 days soon, can't go for a week becuase of work - there's noone to cover me so I have to be there at weekends

My little man is three but he's still on holiday as he went to nursery 5 days a week.
So far we have been camping....kind of,
Metro land, swiming, railway museam at York, steam day at Tanfield railway and the local village show where he held some owls and other birds of prey. we're going to the cinema on Thursday and a farm soon. Our weather is not spectacular just yet so no beach just yet...but soon
