AnonyMouse_26037 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's been a bit of a tricky day and I was feeling a little like wallowing in mud instead of darting about a pond I think it's going to be a tricky week ahead so I'm going to try and think of something that made me smile each day. If anyone would like to join to help get us through the last couple of weeks before the holidays that would be lovely. So my smiles for today... I hung my washing on the line outside for the first time this year Tesco had reduced their bunches of daffodils to 10p each (I can't seem to get bulbs to grow in my garden and I love daffodils) The taste of freshly made kedgeree - I haven't eaten that in ages! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 What a lovely idea - there is always something to smile about if you look hard enough :1b I especially enjoyed visiting my mother-in-law this morning - we took her a lovely planted basket and she was thrilled with it! She is such a lovely lady - I often think that if I could have chosen my MIL I would have chosen her :1b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 My middle son's Mother's Day card made me laugh out loud, he so often seems to find witty appropriate cards to his life/mine. My youngest grandchild at tea, licked her finger and put it on the dusted icing sugar on top of the vicky sponge - her daddy told her not to do it again - and the look on her face as she did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Listening to my cat purring as she is sitting with her nose about an inch away from my ear is currently making me smile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) My yesterday smile moment. I had a lovely day yesterday with my daughter and her boyfriend. We went on a long walk with the dogs. Later she posted an old family group photo when she was about 6 months old. Cant believe it was 23 years ago. Oh the fashions and the hair!!! It made me smile and I confess, a little teary, but in a good way. Edited March 27, 2017 by lsp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 This morning's big, big smile One of my four year olds who is having such problems with constipation, e is taking lactulose and unfortunately most of his 'poos' end up in his pants - but not this morning :1b 2 x enormous 'poos in the loo' - I was thrilled, but far more importantly so was he :1b :1b :1b 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Today - More beautiful sunshine. The rosemary in my garden has flowers for the first time ever. Watching a little girl act out the skydive her dad did at the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Watching a little girl act out the skydive her dad did at the weekend. One of ours had a go on the skydiving wind tube thing, apparently she was fantastic at it - not yet 4 years old! Listening to a robin singing it's heart out in the tree outside the setting with 3 of our children who are rarely calm but wanted to see it because they could hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_22029 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 When I walked into the nursery garden there was some beautiful birdsong. This has kept me smiling all day. And the beautiful sunshine made for a warmer feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that this will go down very well at all but I have broken up for Easter hols today........I know, I know - think I have miscalculated somewhere along the line - but hey ho! :rolleyes: We finished with our traditional Easter Egg Hunt - cue lots of very excited children - we had loads of fun! :1b Beautiful weather - a real 'sunnyday' here! :lol: Some lovely cards and gifts from families - so kind of them and all very much appreciated :1b Discussing animals at group time - each child speaking, in turn, about their animals at home.......one 3 yr old boy said "no I haven't got any animals, I have got a cat, is a cat an animal"? :blink: :lol: can see what we need to work on next term! :rolleyes: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Last day tomorrow for us, and we've got so ahead of ourselves today tomorrow is going to be a fun chilled day. We are saving our egg hunt until the day we return 18th - thought we'd have an Easter Fun day then as it will all be fresh in their minds absolutely nothing to do with us forgetting to get extra eggs. We did make chocolate nests today though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Crikey - don't break up here till 7th April! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes all seems rather odd the timings this year. I hear one of the local schools is having the Easter church service when they return from the holidays. We are having our egg hunt on Friday, we made nests today too. Blinking chocolate, I'm getting worse at melting it as I get older!! More to make on Thursday when the other children come in. Suppose we could have another egg hunt when we come back - or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Crikey - don't break up here till 7th April! Our LA will not fund after 31st March. I did consider looking into using one week of the Summer term early, then having a shorter break, and finishing early for summer... However I decided that that all seemed to be like too much work looking into whether or not we could actually do that or not :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes, I'm puzzled what happens to funding in that last week of term, to 7th April. Children become eligible from 1st April, so what happens to all the funding allocated for that first week of April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I think the 'palm oil' makes it different ? Ahh you maybe right - dear old Cadbury's never had problems before, always careful about how I do it, now it just never seems to melt and go glossy, just melts and remains a little stiff - like it's been overheated or water has touched it. I'm afraid it doesn't raise a smile- however, the children licking their spoons and the bowl did (so naughty I know and I had told them it's not like being at home when you can lick the bowl out - buy hey, it was done in a blink of an eye, What's a person to do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My smiles for today were due to the fact that I have all but totally lost my voice which the children find very intriguing! One little girl was very concerned and every 10 minutes kept checking back in with me to find out if I "had found my voice yet?" And "why has it gone?" Another two children would only speak back to me in the same whisper that I was able to talk to them. We are off for our annual trip to see the lambs at a local farm tomorrow, transported in a land train behind a tractor! You can imagine the excitement. Always a fabulous morning, hopefully the rain will be gone by then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We went back Jan 5th. :1b Ah - we went back Jan 4th - so we are either both right or both wrong - whichever I like your company! ::1a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) The excitement on my class's face as they were testing different substances (jam, syrup, honey and washing up liquid) to find out which was the best glue for baby bear's broken chairs. Facetime to wish my lovely nephew Happy 9th Birthday Talking to my nearly 5 niece in the same call - I said something about when I was little and she asked "Was that when you were a child, in the olden days?" The latter two lovely but a little tinged with sadness - granny and grandpa were there too and I wish I could have gone down to visit. However my niece has got their Easter holiday sleepover at granny and grandpa's all planned... first we will go to the playground down the road, then we will have lunch at the pub then we will go on the playground at the pub! PS Wish me lots of luck for tomorrow - I'm anticipating a tough day. Edited March 28, 2017 by Froglet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but that was the problem - the bears didn't have any glue and there was no shop in the woods that sold glue. They wrote the class a letter asking for special help. Oh, and thank you - I hope not.
