Isla and Evie enjoyed dressing up and having their faces painted as a butterfly and a zebra pirate astronaut combination on board their ship!
We got out for a few walks in the splashy puddles while it was the holidays.
We went to a friend's house for a Halloween party with Isla as a vampire witch and Evie as a tiger. They made spells and ate lovely food, as well as playing 'pin the tail on the cat'. When it got dark, the glow sticks came out. Isla loved hers so much that she went to sleep with them! There was great excitement with the trick-or-treaters coming to the house.
We went to Puxton Park in Somerset for a sunny Sunday with our friends. There was a jumping pillow, sandpit and spooky train as well as animals to look at. Isla and Evie went on a fairground ride together.
Isla reading her words and Evie checking out Isla's school book. We were all very very excited that Isla has been given some books with words in from school.
Isla and Evie made crowns in our cubicle at the hospital:
After Isla woke up from her anaesthetic she was very very hungry and ate two bits of toast, two packets of quavers and a pot of ice cream. Evie liked opening and shutting our curtains.
Isla and Evie playing in their tent with the minion balloon:
Doing some play dough:
Doing some gluing crafts:
We went to the park and Isla did the zip wire by herself, even jumping on which was brilliant. We went to softplay in Swindon called 'Bonkers' which they both enjoyed. Isla found a kind of zip wire there and Evie played on the seesaw and latch board when she wasn't being whacked by random children.
Evie has been to music group again this week and is starting to get more used to the other people there. She liked trying to figure out the actions to the songs with her fingers which was delightful to watch.
Isla's school commemorated armistice day. Isla said that: "they walked down to a stone where they had to think about soldiers and be very quiet and I think I saw the queen there".
Today we had a little visit to the garden centre where Christmas has arrived. The lights were amazing. We saw reindeer, donkeys and goats. Isla told us about the nativity scene and Evie loved driving a tractor and looking at the lights and moving animals.
Isla was awarded a certificate in assembly on Friday for her brilliant writing! She really enjoys learning the 'whoosh ins' and 'whoosh outs' for each letter for writing joined up.
