Chislehurst Pumpkin Hunt
Today was the day we have been waiting for for a long time; the day of the Chislehurst Pumpkin Hunt. We managed to obtain tickets this year, and I was very excited (I say ‘I’, I don’t think the rest of my family really cared but they went along with it anyway)! I love the… Continue reading Chislehurst Pumpkin Hunt

Apple Painting/Printing
The other day we went apple picking for my birthday.

The only problem is that we ended up with quite a large number of… Continue reading Apple Painting/Printing

However, I… Continue reading We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Back on the Big Swing!
This is A’s nervous face. She hates this swing, especially at this height, but she didn’t want to look like a wimp in front of her little brother, who was having a wonderful time! We have spent a great deal of time at the park this week in order to make the most of the beautiful weather! Now… Continue reading Back on the Big Swing!
We Flew a Kite!
My lovely mother-in-law bought A and E a kite to play with while we were on holiday a few weeks ago. Flying a kite is something they had never done before and they were very excited! Having never actually flown a kite before myself either, I think I was as keen to use it as them, and what… Continue reading We Flew a Kite!
