We had lunch @pizzaexpress on Saturday, and my 6yo was very taken with the competition on the Piccolo menu to compose some Christmas song lyrics. She has come home and given it a lot of thought, before coming up with this (to be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). The prize is a family meal at Pizza Express, and she is very excited about winning it and getting to take us all out for dinner. Not winning hasn't really occurred to her as a possibility...
Happy 1st of December! (I hope I haven't set the bar so the children expect a novelty breakfast every morning of Advent...)
Inset day for the 6yo, so we have headed to Wonder Lab at @the.science.museum which is one of our favourite trips together. Exploring resistance, bridge-building, tesselating patterns and centripetal force.
This is what getting ready to go and see Nanna and Grandad for half term looks like in 2021!
Day 16 - Saturday. This Saturday looks like a 5 mile walk to a Cotswolds country pub, whilst on a mini break celebrating 22 years together with (and 11 years married to!) this lovely man.
Day 12 - Make. My 12yo is obsessed with #GBBO and likes to bake along each week, so she makes cake in cake week, biscuits in biscuit week and so on. Tonight is desert week, and she made treacle tart. I am very excited as it's a real favourite of mine.
