Kayaking with the boys

Kayak fishing weekend
Originally uploaded by Lenny&Meriel

We went out with Ant & Ash from Outdoor Guernsey and a load of other people and Jack and Steve came along. So we stuck the boys in this three man sit-on-top and I paddled. We stopped halpf way through so that the boys could go rock climbing and Meriel led them to a spot where they found some pirate treasure. Who would have guessed that all those gold coins would have chocolate in them. Pirates, eh? Chuh!

Lenny's been making stuff

As per usual. This time, however, at least one of the projects is useful:

Cara's Story's

Cara has been drawing pictures and then dictating the story's in the picture to Meriel. here's the set on Flickr. There are more to come, she seems to have an inexhaustable supply.

For my money this is the best one at the moment:



It reads like this: "Mr Shelley walked and walked and he found the cage and she didnt know how to get in it again. And then he found a key he locked the door but it was still closing he couldn't get out. It was still closing so he couldn't get out. He was sad and sad and sad cos he couldn't lock the door. His fingers were too little. He was turning into a baby. He couldn't get out of the cottage cos he was turning into a baby. And he was called Mr Shelley baby. That's a very long story though.
Mr Shelley trips over at the beginning. She does. She does at the beginning. No, she does it at the end. She does. She just does, cos she does. He had blood on her toe. The doctor was sad. The doctor was cross. The doctor was cross and sad again."

Nice one Cara.

Meriel's Birthday

So we're obviously catching up on the blog, because Meriel's Birthday was a few weeks ago. Here's the card that we all made for her. the kids did themselves and we all did some of the other people at the party:

Jonah's Handwriting

Jonah's handwriting has been improving alot recently:



This was a picture of a board where they display handwriting achievements in St Martin's Primary School. Well done Jonah.

Jonah's Tooth

Although we're only posting this now, Jonah lost his first big tooth (he's lost the two front lower teeth already):



Well, he looks pretty happy about it.
