Ugh! We've been homebound for about a week as the kids take turns having a cold. But it's been all ok really. We've had a few lovely warm days and a few horribly wet days. Good to balance the mix of inside/outside stuff.

Outside they've been...

~ Pole vaulting (well, Danielle showed me what she'd "discovered" by jumping high using a long stick and I told her about pole vaulting and we looked up some Youtubes of it in action)
~ Sandpit play - digging down so deep they disappear into the ground with just their head poking out (yikes, the thought of an earthquake occuring while doing that doesn't sound like fun)
~ Climbing the pear tree

Inside...

~ Nathan's been playing on the Reader Rabbit Maths CDRom
~ Danielle's been playing the World Explorer game on the computer
~ Danielle's been measuring all her soft toys to see who's the longest
~ Lots of reading of books. Loving seeing the kids tucked up in bed at night after we've read to them and them wanting to carry on reading until they're tired (Nathan's into a Magic Treehouse book and Danielle likes to look at all her picture books)
~ Stacking all the cuisenaire rods into towers
~ Nathan's been enjoying working through a puzzle/maze/brainteaser book that we found in the library
~ Cadoo and Snakes and Ladders
