Holiday memories

Well we are back to the daily routine or as much of a routine as we have but we had a lovely summer and have new adventures ahead of us. Our family time together was super and the children just loved it, mini1 holds family so very close to her as some of her picture postcards show. These pictures will always be special as I recall her in her own world drawing away, we posted them on but I couldn't help take an image ...... thought you'd like to see, a child's drawing always a favourite of mine...

stOry stiCkS & tWiggY taLes

Our French retreat is in 'the sticks' just outside of Faucon near Vaison la Romaine.

The pool provides entertainment, the woodland adventure and the wildlife great excitement.

Yesterday we gathered sticks and twigs and made up our stories and tales through pictures. The girls found it great fun sitting in the shade of the olive trees retelling the pictures into story form.

The favourite one was about a butterfly who lived in a magnificent castle but when she ventured out she discovered the outside natural world of flowers and more butterflies even more beautiful!

In the absence of pen and paper .....

You can't beat pens, crayons, paint and paper however there are times when both me and the mini1's have fun doodling via a few of our favourite apps, these were created using KidSlate and Drawing Carl....

Mini1 is very excited; a week of pancakes and hearts!!! Two of her favourite things.
Well we did make and flip pancakes which was both funny and yummy but my favourite was the little ones getting arty with their hearts for valentine. Mini1 wishes for us to be the Love-Heart family, Oo they make you smile.
Much love to you all for a lovely day x
