Being a bit focused for a while! A renewed interest in Egyptology has spured Ollie on to research more about them. He has be happily dipping in and out of the atlas, books and the Internet before deciding he would like to make an Ankh from clay. Will decided he would like to go quietly and write a story, its about life in the kitchen, and he said he was inspired by Chicken run. How they all come to life and have characters the humans don't see. Mia has made more play food with clay and has read three books. She has also decided that she could read us a story before we read to her every bedtime. David has disappeared to his room to play guitar and to start designing his clock, I did interfere here a little by suggesting he might like to do some documented research into clocks, design etc and make notes about his thoughts, ideas and the process he goes through as he makes his. He did look at me with a "I know exactly what I want to do and I just want to make it" face, but hey it's bloomin' hard standing back and letting them just get on with it all the time!

So they did that for a few hours, and I needed to record it! They are off playing games now and we've cleaned our guinea pig house guests out. We shall go walk the dogs, have some lunch, go to guitar and rainbows too!
Not bad for a Monday.
