Peppa or Belle?  Time Will Tell.

This is an attempt to resurrect the blog.  The hubby keeps asking/encouraging me to get it going again, time just seems to be against me.

We are still homeschooling, now the four oldest.  With two younger ones (one who starts school next year) there is never a dull moment in our house.  Happenings at the moment include our oldest boy driving around the place in his Ford Spectron van, given to him by his uncle and fixed up with his help.  He is so proud of it, the wheels are always polished to a bright shine. DS2 boy is heavily into making Lego stop-motion movies.  He is doing really well with them, we just need to get him some decent software for editing.  DS3 is keen to start the cricket season next week.  Since last season he has a new bat and can't wait to try it out in serious play.  DS4 still spends hours jumping on the trampoline making explosion noises.  He can back-flip now which must add some exciting action into the story he is playing out in his head.  DS5 is now responsible for the livelihood of our 3 new chickens.  His favourite, Johnny, is a beautiful grey colour and there was much excitement today when Johnny allowed himself to be caught and held not once, but about three times.  Finally, DD1/number 6 child watched The Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) yesterday for the first time.  Cuddling up to her older brother she actually sat through the whole movie.  Today she wanted again to watch 'Goosey and the Geese'.  I wonder if this will break her Peppa Pig fixation?
