Just a Quick One....

i don't know where time is going. I can hardly get a breath never mind blog!! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. We had planned to do Thanksgiving again this year but due to hubby's work committments and sick babies it had to take a back seat. Maybe next year.....

As I have said before I have a craft fair coming up...tomorrow night!! I thought I was totally perpared but someone told me my little notebook idea was really popular so I had to make more! I think I am NOW ready. Part of me is looking forward to it and part of me is getting really nervous! I hope people like what i've done. None of the things I do are very fussy...I like my ideas to look simple and uncluttered. Let's hope the shopping public feel the same!! I plan to take some photos and post them at the weekend.

James was ill over the weekend so for the last few days I've been pretty yaken up with that. There have been a lot of tummy bugs going round at the moment and lots of kids have been off school. James missed a few days but was able to go back today. He still has a cold but thankfully is much better. I hate seeing my babies suffer!

Today is Amy's swimming lesson. Her new class is brilliant. I am so glad I moved her. Her confidence is really growing and she has only been attending this class for a few weeks. Last week they were working on the breast stroke. I really laughed as the first part of teaching it was to make them swim on their back?!!! Apparently it helps them to work on the leg movements without having to worry about their breathing! It really worked. By the end of the class Amy was doing the breast stroke properly....over a short distance. I was really proud of her.

I need a little advice regarding Amy. In school Amy's Maths is very strong but she struggles a little with her reading. Any ideas to help her? I have tried many different ideas....teaching English is what I did before I had the kids....but maybe because it is with my daughter I am struggling to think of new ideas! Any help would be appreciated!

I'd better go as it's time to pick Amy up. Have a lovely day!

so glad to hear from you.
Wow - I want to see pictures from the craft show - show me what you've been making.

As far as the reading goes ...... I read to my kids - at night and have them read to me where possible. We also love Leap Pad and that has helped a lot.
Glad she is growing in swimming - such an important life skill.

take care of yourself,
Love Cathie
