Week 2 of Finding Fun

Week two of Finding Fun is upon us already, this week with  a theme of houses. One of challenges is drawing a house like you used to as a child. So below is my attempt, I'm really chuffed with it and it was a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind living in it actually, it has a lovely sunny garden and a handy clothes line nearby.

 Other challenges this week include building a house of cards, playing Cluedo and drawing your dream home. My brother is coming to visit us on Sunday to watch the football with OH and give DD a belated birthday present, so we are hoping to hook him into a quick game of Cluedo. I haven't played a board game in years so I'm quite excited about busting one out from the back of cupboard.

 Thank you for another week of fab suggestions Carolyn.

Week one of Finding Fun

 Week 1 of the Finding Fun challenge is here at last. Carolyn has made a cracking list for week one at Mess, Muddle and Fun. Pop on over and have a looksie.

It's yet another bad day weather wise here on the south coast so we are confined to the indoor ideas today. So we chose to do number 5, taking our pencil for a walk. DD was really in the mood for colouring in and I must admit it was a nice change to join her rather than use the "quiet" time to do some housework. I hadn't noticed before how DD's scribbles have changed from random marks and accidental contact with the paper, to much more controlled lines and circle shapes. She even made a straight line of scribbles and told me what it "said" which was pretty amazing as I thought she was miles away from reading and writing. Yet here she is trying already to make sense of it and copy it. Something I really want to encourage now I've seen the first signs.
 I've popped our 2 pictures on the fridge for everyone to enjoy, and to remind myself that I need to spend more playtime with DD, and more fun time for myself.
Thank you for opening my eyes Carolyn.
