Wolf Brother Review - better late than never......

Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver
Review by The Girl

It's very exciting and it's a bit like Dr Dolittle because Torak can talk to wolves. I liked the wolf.
It's set in prehistoric times.

My 20 books + a few more....

I'm playing along with a photo meme started here because of this.

I knew I had a lot of books and need more shelves :) Me and the kiddywinkles decided that we couldn't live in a house without books. I don't think they really believe that some people don't have any.We have a lot of books ...and there are more in my car. I need more shelves!!!!!

Railway Children

And so the Girl went on the Brownie Adventure :) I managed to get a costume together last night made from a skirt I'd altered for when we were Tudors, a blouse my mum gave me about 20 years ago, a scrap of blue velour and 3 safety pins :) I love safety pins. You can never have enough safety pins if you ask me.
She had a good day by all accounts but was a bit disappointed that they didn't get to go to the museum that went with the worksheets she was given. Bless her! There were steam trains, stations, loud and raucous singing on the coach, metal badges and yoyos and a new badge to sew on her uniform - which reminds me that I haven't sewn the ones on from camp yet. (Where can I get little faces that will go in my blog? I want the little animated ones so that I can roll my eyes at myself.)

Her friend came for tea and they played The Railway Children . They even managed to rope the Boy in for about 5 minutes until his friend came to tea too and they played football. The Girl said she thinks it's a shame these kind of clothes aren't fashionable anymore because she'd like to wear them all the time :)

Periodic Table Links

Sorry, this is not a normal blog post.... We're doing the Periodic Table at our local group next month and I know absolutely NOTHING about it. So, here are the links that I have found so far. In one easy place so I don't lose them. I'll post again when we've done the learning :)
