First week and a half of home ed!

I have been so busy the last week or so that i just havent found time to post. Planning on spending the rest of the week close to home for a bit of needed downtime. We are slowly getting used to our new daily rhythm, and we are all enjoying it. Weve been spending a lot of time seeing people, and visiting places the last weekand im posting some pics below.

Also, we went to our first home ed group meet up on tuesday at a lovely park in Taunton. It was very daunting but everyone was lovely and it was refreshing to talk to like minded people for a change, instead of feeling like your talking a different language to other parents! Cant wait to meet up again, as this is hopefully going to become a regular group (its just started up).

We have been doing a lot of clearing out at home, getting rid of things we dont use (taking them to the charity shop or selling on ebay) and hayden has chosen a lot of old toys to sell. We now have a no plastic policy for toys in our house as i am so fed up of the crap that hayden gets for birthday's and xmas. The money he got selling his old toys has gone on some new lovely, well made, imaginative wooden toys which he already loves. Hope to eventually be plastic toy free!
