October 10th 2015 - Christmas shoebox appeal

A few months back I picked up some fluffy socks and gloves in a sale and put them up ready for the Christmas Shoebox appeal.  Today I have sat and worked out what else we are going to put into the boxes.

The boys at infant/junior school do 1 box each as their school takes part  in it.  As with previous years we try and do 1 boy and 1 girl (and then what ever the 3rd child wanted).  I still need to buy quite a bit and need to find 2 boxes, but I still have plenty of time.

So my lists are as follows, those with line through I already have:

BOYS	GIRLS
Fluffy socks	Fluffy socks?
Bug puzzle game	Gloves & hat
Comb	Brush, Bobbles & clips
Notebook	Notebook
pens	pens
Sweets	Toothbrush & toothpaste
Gloves & hat	Skipping rope
Robot jigsaw	sweets
Toothbrush & toothpaste	Girly jigsaw
Soft teddy	Soft teddy

June 19th 2015 - Dress up and dance

June 19th 2015 - dress up and dance

My younger 2 boys school is today taking part in the dress up and dance event in aid of Macmillan Cancer, each child needs to dress up and pay £1.  The school has decided on a theme of rock stars and superheros.  I have 1 of each.

The elder of the 2 has gone as a rock star - complete with guitar, bandana and orange and blue hair!  (not that you can really see the blue), and the youngest has gone as a super hero, wearing his iron man outfit that he wore for superhero day few months back.

I hope the school has loads of fun doing this event today and that all the kids look great.
