Here are two picks of the biggest longest highest dearest boat in the world! Roche had just seen the Cobh exhibition about Cobh from the famine ships to nowadays, with hints about the Titanic and the Lusitania. Two days after, the Queen Mary 2 was parked in Cobh for the afternoon for a[...]]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:40:00 +0100 eced0b9df928bc478dac61e510f8e26b Outdoors http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-qm2-38417556-comments.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-house-upgrade-38416942.html
Here is our new model of house, still very compact but much cosier! It was inspired by a book called "The Soft House". The only regret: I didn't have time to make chocolate chip cookies for the kids to eat inside, like in the book!]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:32:00 +0100 3b85033e9aeafc2d6453d6bdbaca9e0c Imagination http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-house-upgrade-38416942-comments.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-3-2-1-0-blast-off--38416591.html
We had a bit of an intergalactic phase in our house. Everyone wanted to be an astronaut. I found books about astronauts and how they leave in space (the picture of the space toilets even helped some little boys in their potty training!). We played the astronauts climbing on our sofa-rocket,[...]]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:25:00 +0100 426babe71ec0285dcc22de0bd8fcb2f3 Astronomy http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-3-2-1-0-blast-off--38416591-comments.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-this-is-the-way-we-go-to-dunnes-38416173.html
Don't tell me you cann't read a map, c'est un jeu d'enfant! Here are the maps we used to go to the shop next door (we only had to cross the bridge over the big road). Amd we checked the map on the way to be sure we weren't getting lost! A big adventure!]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:20:00 +0100 3c67e9b925181403059f562af5c99016 Geography http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-this-is-the-way-we-go-to-dunnes-38416173-comments.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-crowns-38416038.html

Today, we celebrated one of the Ben Ten fans birthday! For the occasion, I made a - succulent - chocolate cake that we decorated with all the children. We made paper shapes, placed them on the cake with wooden letters forming the name David and sifted some icing sugar on top of the cake. Then,[...]]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:30:00 +0200 fe0613d2b9c1068b2a52322e6e94d5d0 Birthdays http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-35386974-6.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-35386749.html
Coming back from holidays, we decided to frame the end of the summer, if there has been any over here! Mo, Jack, Ab, Roche and Angie and myself got soaked while looking for plants to put in our bamkboo stick frame... but the result is not too bad: a good laugh, a great race under the rain, the[...]]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:23:00 +0200 ba47278b4af53a108c13f0f76008b5e9 Fauna & Flora http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-35386749-6.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-33293276.html
Mo and me decided to recycle old fahion magazines to decorate the house. We tore lots of pages, trying to choose the most vibrant colours and constrasts with white, black and different letter formats, and also crepe paper and multicoloured feathers. Then we spread a long band of plastic film,[...]]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:11:00 +0200 f804fc65d9a9973874dada59ba609197 Arts and Crafts http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-33293276-6.html#anchorComment http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-33293090.html
My little prehistoric children had a go at hand painting (although not on the house walls yet! But maybe one day...) They blew paint with blow pens and took off their hands to see the shape on the paper. I explained that so did our ancestors a very, very, very long time ago...]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:06:00 +0200 1594eb82c58ff2cb6c0764ac9977b48a History http://roisin.over-blog.com/article-33293090-6.html#anchorComment
