100 days of summer, day 11 - forever. Forever siblings, hopefully forever friends.


Amelie's day off nursery today and I had planned to take them up to the park with a picnic and spend our morning there but it was raining and miserable so we have lazed about inside instead. We did some drawing, I asked Amelie to help me with the design of the fairy garden we are going to make and Isaac enjoyed sitting at the table with us doing that. I was about to deem the whole activity a success but then he threw all the pencils on the floor. They had great fun in the bath when Daddy came home and now they are just about ready for bed.

In other news we got our school offer letter today for our late application. Like our original application we got our first choice but two weeks ago I had sent a change of preference form that obviously hadn't made it in time. However I think I should stick with my original choice and accept the place, I think Amelie is going to do well there. She is a bit upset that she won't be with any of her new friends from nursery. I know she will be fine, the teacher was telling me that once her main friend had gone on holiday she pretty much had a queue of girls waiting to play with her. Anyway I sent the appeals lady an email and I will decide what to do when I hear back. I feel quite torn about the decision and have spent a good while pouring over ofsted reports (I know these aren't always the best things to go on but I've been through everything else!) Then there is the nagging thought in my mind incase we have to move again. I'm not sure how long we will be in this house and houses in this village don't seem to be up for rent very often. I think we will probably have to rent at least once more before we buy unless we start seriously saving. Which is hard when you want to do fun things! Hmm...
