Weekly Round Up

Well, a week ago my poor baby was in hospital - an abscess turned nasty resulting in eight of his teeth being removed under general anesthetic (two were removed as only part of them were left due to him hitting his mouth on a table two years ago)

Poor baby - he was incredibly brave. 

The rest of the week we have all been looking after him, then on Wednesday he celebrated his 4th Birthday, 

We didn't go out for the day as originally planned because he still wasn't feeling up to it, but we did go to my parents house for a fab birthday tea and he insisted on playing musical statues

Opening presents in the morning

 Dalek Cake - made by Mike

Playing with his new castle

 Blowing out the candles - exterminate!

 Enjoying the cream from the trifle from his party tea

 Musical Statues

The rest of the week was mainly spent indoors and also James had to go to the docs again as he had a temperature. Checked him over and he had a sore throat, bit chesty and his ear hasn't quite cleared up yet - poor mite.

Mike was off this weekend, got lots of housework done while he looked after James, you wouldn't believe the state the house was in after not really doing anything for a week. 

Had a nice lunch at my parents house today, but am slightly anxious as I have found the poisonous plant Hemlock in my own garden and also in my parents too - another thing for me to get uptight about :-(

So - Home Ed - has pretty much stopped since last weekend, all exhausted from the worry and upset of James's op.  We normally have our summer holiday break during the months of June and July, so give a few days, we are now officially on a break.

Am planning on Becky and Danny doing maths and English online games once a day every day (well not weekends) during the break.

I have managed to get my HE report ready for our visit next month, we have a new inspector, sorry, they are now called advisers, so will see what this one is like.

Hope you all have a wonderful, stress free, healthy, non -hemlock, happy week.
