| Tahlia was very keen to help open the presents | 
|  | 
| Zachary is very interested in the solar system so he made Daddy a solar system card (the other planets are inside) | 
|  | 
| Tahlia made Daddy a birthday card and wrote her name inside | 
|  | 
| Daddy had some friends round for a special birthday meal; Zachary helped make the treacle tart | 
|  | 
| Here's Tahlia making Daddy a birthday cake | 
|  | 
| Food and quiz with church friends | 
|  | 
| We had a 6 hour power cut due to a smoking electrical box and the little ones loved watching the firemen outside | 
Daddy also had a party in Cardiff...
|  | 
| As always, it was a tasty cheese party! | 
|  | 
| The kids loved playing with some of their Cardiff friends | 
|  | 
| The swords came out... | 
|  | 
| Poor Uncle Steve! | 
|  | 
| Ptolemy: "Him, not me!" | 
|  | 
| Out came the hazelnut mocha cake | 
|  | 
| Elisha enjoys some more cheese | 
Here are a few other things we've been up to in the first half of October...
|  | 
| Zachary made a 'nocturnal animal' board game; you have to make it to the safety of your burrow | 
|  | 
| We took a trip to the local playground to collect acorns for our treasure boxes and we also found this... | 
|  | 
| Bouncing on the coloured seats | 
|  | 
| Boo! | 
|  | 
| All playing Connect 4 together | 
|  | 
| Zachary's current project: the solar system | 
|  | 
| Making tasty blackberry crumble | 
|  | 
| Spreading the blackberries | 
|  | 
| Playing along at our weekly session of Bash 'n' Bang | 
Here we are on a trip to Dartmoor whilst the weather was still good...
|  | 
| Tahlia is very interested in shadows | 
|  | 
| Sitting near the base of Hound Tor | 
|  | 
| Who can make the biggest jump from the rock? | 
|  | 
| Jory enjoys the fantastic views | 
|  | 
| A well-deserved rest at the base of Hound Tor; we also found several hidden letterboxes around here (a bit like geocaching) | 
|  | 
| Scrambling to the top | 
|  | 
| Ptolemy, once again, removes his shoes and socks | 
Playground fun at King George V playing fields...
|  | 
| Jory counts how long he can keep hold | 
|  | 
| Jumping for joy | 
|  | 
| Building sandcastles | 
Here we are on a day out with Bumble to the Devon Railway Centre in Bickleigh...
|  | 
| They couldn't resist a quick slide | 
|  | 
| The little train takes you on a tour of the gnome-infested grounds | 
|  | 
| They all loved seeing the mini gnome towns | 
|  | 
| All ready for a ride on the big train | 
|  | 
| Zachary was the train guard - he had to wave the flag to tell the driver when to set off | 
|  | 
| Cuddles with Bumble | 
|  | 
| Playing with the wooden train set | 
|  | 
| There's nothing more fun than pressing a button | 
|  | 
| Ball pool fun | 
|  | 
| Crazy golf: the highlight of Zachary's day | 
|  | 
| Taking a look at the model village | 
|  | 
| One more go on the shiny slide before home time |
