Who's bed-time story was it?
After we got back from town, we all needed a rest. Ruth asked Grandma to read her a story before quiet time. A little while later, Daddy came in to see if Ruth was asleep and found this...

Medieval May-Day
Today was Medieval May-Day at Egremont Castle. The children wanted to go in costume for the fancy-dress competition, so in the end, we all did. David won 3rd prize, and was very pleased with his big rosette. Unfortunately, we didn't have our camera, so when we went to Seascale aftrewards, Grandad took this for us. Thaks, Grandad.

[Historical] Cardboard Boxes
1st March 2009
Ruth and David have a playhouse made from a big cardboard box. This morning, they got up early, decided that their house was a rocketship, and that they were going to fly around in it. They asked us to take some photos of their spaceship to show everyone. They've packed it with some cushions to sit on, and lots of books to read, because "space is a long way away."

More for the garden
Well, that wasn't quite how I'd planned for Thursday evening at the start of the week. Originally, tonight was going to be getting the upstairs junkroom at least partly converted into a lounge & playroom. Instead, Gary and I spent the evening moving a large shed from Whitehaven to our allotment in Egremont. It took two runs and just over three hours all told, and we still need to put it back together, but it will be good to get a lot of garden stuff out of the house properly.
[Historical] Sleepy...
(23rd Febuary 2009)
When Chrissy is sitting along the sofa, David likes to climb up on the arm behind her and give her a hug. When he did it this time, Chrissy got a much longer hug than normal. Then she heard him snore....
