Half Term Fun

This has been quite a busy week. The kids have been on 'half-term' break, which basically means that they get a week off school in the middle of the term. And of course as per what usually happens, Dean had an exam at the end of the week. So, here I was again trying to come up with creative, and inexpensive things to do and cope with completely unpredictable English weather! I'm very thankful to have most of Dean's family nearby, they really come in handy in situations like this. Monday we were able to spend together as a family because it was a 'bank holiday'...everybody had the day off. Tuesday, we went to the Science Museum with my sister-in-law (Katie) and her 2 boys as well as Dean's Mum and some other children from the church she was watching. Thank goodness for public transport and free museums! Wednesday we spent most of the day inside sorting out Samuel's room, and indoor games etc. Thursday we (Me, Katie and co.)went to a farm/park and we were blessed with glorious weather so the children were able to play outside for several hours. Friday we had breakfast at IKEA...very exciting! The children got their faces painted there as well. I think the kids had a fun week, I know I'm pretty tired. They have another day off tomorrow (Monday) due to teacher inservice, and thankfully Dean will be able to spend the day with us which will lighten my load for sure!
