Rain......

Rain, rain and more rain.

I can't believe how much rain we have had the last few weeks. I know October was great weather wise but I did not expect this much rain in November. All these poor people where there has been floods and they have nowhere to go. It's not going to be a happy christmas for them I don't think. I'm just happy I don't live near a river or lake in these conditions.

Where are you sun???

Party Game

Three legged race,

Two players stand hand in hand. Their adjacent ankles are tied together. At the leader's command they run to the agreed place and return back. The fastest pair wins this competition.

Weather

HI, Hasn't the weather been awful these last days? So windy and wet all the time. I was hoping for a nice November this year but I'm still waiting.... We are off to Sweden for Christmas this year so we will get some snow on Christmas day at least. My kids just love playing in the snow and building snow caves, making snow angels etc. I just need to buy some proper winter clothes for them so they keep warm!

Have a nice day.

Making a paperweight

Your kids will have fun sorting through the mail to collect interesting canceled stamps. When they've collected a few, soak the stamps in warm water until they separate from their envelopes. And then let the stamps dry. Then glue them onto a small rock. Brush on "Modge Podge", white glue, or a clear finishing gloss.

Voila! You have made a paperweight......

Gifts that kids can make themselfs!

A perfect idea for christmas is to make placemats and coasters,

Your children's artwork can be transformed into useful & beautiful placemats or coasters for family or friends.
You can use existing artwork or have your child design something special. For placemats, have your child draw, paint or color a picture on a large piece of paper, then laminate it or cover it with clear contact paper.
For coasters, you might have your child trace his or her handprint on colored paper and laminate. And don't forget to sign and date the back!

Knights Tale

First pick these from your party guest,

- 2 princess's
- 3-4 knights
- 1 shield
- the rest are wanderers

The princesses hide themselves and don't tell anybody where they're hiding. There's no hiding or looking together. The wanderers and knights wander around trying to find a princess. When a princess is found by a wanderer then she has to stay put while he goes to find the knight. The wanderer tells the knight were she is (he's not allowed to tell him the name of the princess). The knight must run to get the princess before another knight gets her.

When he finds a princess he must hide her in a place nobody else can look.

RULES
1, no guarding princesses
2, no spying, it ruins the fun of the game
3, use a set amount of time
4, princesses are not allowed to scream
5, the shield tries to find princesses and free them from knights
6, wanderers are divided among knights
7, princesses who are captured after the timer has gone off share love's true kiss
8, if knights run into another they can fight one another

Good Luck.
