The Tiger & The Shamrock

Well the first Tuesday of the Easter holidays has passed and we all had great fun.

Ben had his face painted for the first time and I did him as a Tiger. Amy wanted to be done with an Irish theme (she'd been into Irish dancing the whole day) so I tried to do her a couple of shamrocks.

Later that afternoon I tried (and failed miserably) to put up the trampoline netting. After nearly 2 hours struggling with it I finally conceded defeat and packed it all away again. I guess Ben is just gonna have to learn how to stay in the middle!

In other news, Amy has been enjoying an extra hour before bedtime as it is the school holidays. She has taken to helping us with the chores and rather likes washing up.

Also in other news Amy has started to earn pocket money for keeping her room tidy. She has really taken to the idea and has done really well the first week. I'll guess we'll have to see if the novelty wears off!
