Catch up

We had a lovely relaxing weekend, just chilled out, didn't even get dressed, watched films and read together.

Yesterday we started reading the Murderous Maths - Codes, how to make and break them, that we borrowed from the library. The kids really seemed to enjoy the first few chapters about spy's and hackers and were soon off writing their own codes and passing messages round to be deciphered.
It may have looked like fun was taking place in here but it was really lots of learning ;-)

This afternoon we went swimming and spent an hour and a half in the pool. The best thing was as it was school hours we had the whole bottom half of the pool to ourselves. A is doing really well and I don't think it will be long before she is swimming widths. J needs a huge confidence boost as he can swim, he just won't. T and M are getting more confidence every time we go, they will both paddle and kick if you balance them now, where as before they wouldn't do anything but stand and play.

Tomorrow looks like it will be fun. I have set the kids the task of deciding what we should eat and creating a weeks shopping list. We will then take them shopping and let them do it. Here's hoping it works and I'm not eating junk food for the next week.
