October Half-term

We packed up the English children in the Jazz and trundled them from Oxford to Luton for half-term where we had a memorable week scurrying after the toddler and trotting after the girls. Crafts were completed at an incredible pace, apple trees climbed, big trucks moved along living room mountains and tracks, and there were Charlie and Lola sessions along with Chuggington and Shawn the Sheep. When the wee ones were put to sleep we watched the Baseball playoffs and then dove into bed expecting to be awakened with the sun. We are amazed at the sentences Theo is putting together to express himself, but then his two sisters are constantly expecting him to excel.

I've been waiting here a long time!

You mean we can pick apples from the tree?

Where are you Grandpa?

Oh my aching feet

Can't catch me I'm the dough-boy

Oxford Garden Games

We are all enjoying Betsy's new garden and surrounds in Oxford. It's a place for pretend, for exercise, for playing in the water and occasionally spotting things that fly.

Look at that!
