We're under quarantine!

Last Thursday saw the last day of Little P's first year at school, but in the early hours of the morning the little poppet woke up covered in itchy red spots...........yes, you guessed it, Little P had caught the Chicken Pox!!

It was inevitable really as the virus had been circulating in her school for over a month and little P had managed to avoid it previously, but in a small school environment these germs seem to get shared around quite readily!

So the first few days of the long Summer holiday have not been a barrel of laughs. Poor little p has been quite poorly, but we have had one very enjoyable afternoon's activity. You see about a year and a half ago one of my lovely brothers bought little P an amazing craft set and we have been waiting for the best time to use it, a time when we could devote at least a few hours to concentrated cutting, glueing and pasting loveliness. Chicken Pox has given us the perfect opportunity to make this amazing 'Three little Pigs' craft set. It kept us entertained for a full five hours!! We loved it so much that we looked up where to get another set in the same series, but sadly it's no longer being made. It's such a shame as this is easily the best children's art and craft set I have seen in years, complete with a brilliant instructional DVD designed for children. All I can say is, "Thank you Uncle Mark, you've made a little girl and her mum very happy!"
