What We've Been Up To...#9

We are now back in Exeter and are returning to our usual routines. Daddy is back at work and we have been enjoying starting up at our various groups again.

Tahlia and Jory on their first day of playgroup

The HALF home education group - playing Dotty Dinosaurs

Making sticky wall pictures

There are always lots of different toys to enjoy at the HALF group

Here we are at Paignton Zoo - the climbing lizard was a favourite!

Ptolemy found him hilarious

Climbing to the top at the zoo playground

Bumble helps Ptolemy slide back down

He's not too sure about the goat who wants a taste of his buggy

We've also been busy making things at home; here is a blackberry crumble in progress...

Zachary and Tahlia liked getting their hands dirty

It was worth all the effort!

Orange Elephant Ice Cream Parlour currently has an open maize maze, as well as the usual farm animals, play area and, of course, ice cream, so we seized the opportunity to visit.

Zachary and Tahlia chose strawberry ice cream; Jory and Ptolemy each had a flake

Tahlia's favourite kind of photo opportunity

Ptolemy is very much an animal lover

We finally reached the centre of the maize maze - phew!


Another HALF group activity - painting a prehistoric scene and sticking on the dinosaurs

A treat for lunch at HALF group - homemade pizzas

Adding their favourite toppings...

...and enjoying the tasty pizza! Unfortunately Jory isn't a pizza fan.

Here is a recent visit to Ikea to buy a new dining table; Ptolemy's siblings are enjoying the creche (and Mummy and Daddy are enjoying the peace and quiet!)

Ikea is more dangerous than you'd imagine...

Another of our daily routines is story time - we snuggle up in the playhouse for a read

Jory loves football

Pork pie, sausage roll, come on Jory, score a goal!

Zachary's new game: guess where the ball is hidden

Here's that new Ikea table - it wasn't too bad to put up 

We made the most of the packing material for the new table by making a cardboard den in the dining room

Hiding in the den

Zachary built a car race track with his piece of spare cardboard
