January has been busy....
* a new fridge freeezer has been bought - argued about with Dixons - canceled and reordered from Currys. It finally arrived yesterday.
It is rather fantastic - though ours has a lot more milk bottles in in. And no fish!
*every Wednesday we have been going to the Extended Schools program at Wade Deacon.
M has been doing exciting science experiments in the science labs ....
...including making flubber...
...while B has been designing and making neat stuff in the DT rooms ....
This is a major improvement over the hideous woodwork, metalwork and technical drawing lessons that I endured when I was at school there.
* the worship leaders took the parade service at FMC for Epiphany - and produced a dramatic version of the story of the 4th wise man. It was a great success - though preparations for the serivce involved an awful lot of glitter paint - and 3 weeks on I am still finding evidence of it in my kitchen!
The story is an old one - I have vivid memories of E teling it at a parade when I was a child - if you are interested there is a good retelling of it here

* A and I had a great evening at St Philips church in Warrington enjoying a performance of
From Music Hall Variety to Chapel Pew Propriety
Lots of singing of old Moody and Sankey hymn - rousing choruses all round!
* B and the beavers are working towards their creative challenge - and Ifor one reason and another I seem to have been there to help out for most sessions - junk modelling, animal mask making, song learning, instrument making and performing... it's had it all
*M has been to a birthday sleepover at J's house and spent a day doing health and fitness activities with cubs, whilst B spent the morning at the Halton Stadium doing fitness training with the Vikings
I think that's most of it!
And finally - the beautiful blue hyacinths in a bowl on the sideboard - the best £2 you can spend at ASDA
