January

Whenever we look through photos, the month of January always seems really tedious, as if nothing interesting happened at all. In fact lots of things happen every year, but they tend to be more run-of-the-mill things after the excitement of Christmas. So here are some things (mainly not exciting), that we got up to;

Lots of cycling on the moor:

Playing in the park:

Going swimming and enjoying hair drying afterwards:

Drawing:

This is one of the first pictures that Thea has drawn that not only has a story, but is understandable by the casual viewer. This shows the Mummy, Daddy, Brother and Jean-Luc blue whales in their beds. The brother and Jean-Luc are in cots.
Obviously.

There have been tiny amounts of snow. Nothing like the blizzards of Oxfordshire:

Dressing up like an astronaut:

In a totally unrelated activity, I have been running astronomy club at school. This has included some planet sorting:

and a trip to the University Astrocampus where Nathaniel put a bunch of flowers into liquid nitrogen:

Trips to the bog:

Lots of baking with friends:

Pretending that we are hamsters and building hamster runs:

So not a total lack of activity, just no exciting adventures!
