"Wow, is it Summer now???" Tiegan exclaimed this morning when she opened her curtains. That gives you an idea of just how bright the sunshine was. Glorious, and such a welcome change from the dull and dreary, dark and damp days we have endured recently.
We all decided that it would be too much of a waste to spend such a day indoors, so we were soon out the door and into the car - heading off to Torquay.
We only had one thing on the shopping list - and that was feathers. Not of the must pluck a bird variety, but the bright and colourful kids' craft type. We needed them for our Aztec lapbook that is currently under construction.
Once they had been located and bought (in the first shop we looked), we headed down the seafront so Callum could get his (seemingly) weekly dose of boat spotting. It really was the most beautiful of days, and it was a pleasure to be out in the sunshine. Blue skies overhead, birds calling, fish swimming at the surface, and the general happiness in the atmosphere as the warmth from the winter sun brought out the best in people.
I did of course take my camera and got a couple of snapshots - awww come on, don't groan, you'd have been disappointed if I didn't have any pictures to share!
We came home, full of the joys, and cooked a scrumptious Roast Chicken dinner followed by utterly delicious homemade trifle.
We have been having a lapbook frenzy in the household since Mirjam brought the subject up again :o) Suddenly the children have got all enthusiastic about creating them again, so look out for pictures coming to this blog soon. As a family we are doing one about the Aztecs, Tiegan wants to do one about Spiders, and Callum wants to do one about Dinosaurs. The last I heard, Chelsea was going to do one about fashion through the ages, and Joseph is thinking about his - probably World War 2 (he isn't bored of that topic yet!)
