October half term week

[loocyloo]

I’ve never noticed that before

I guess we’re lucky they keep it going for just a few of us!

We’ve been having a lovely week with lots of Halloween activities and getting out and about. Today it’s rainy and dark though, so we’re going to have a wet walk to toddler group. DH tells me it’s supposed to be nice this afternoon so I’ll keep my fingers crossed

Enjoy your day everyone

Hello!
I've had a crazy week so far ... I've not been working as DD had a 4 day dance competition and did brilliantly. So proud of her, but 7.30 this morning ... back to work with a houseful!
I'd planned to go out for a walk, but non stop heavy rain from 8am till about 11, 2 non walkers and being shattered... I just couldn't face going out! Despite having 6 minded children from 10mths to almost 9! It has meant we've just pottered and played at home! We've had the Halloween sensory tray and done some Halloween craft pumpkin 'sun' catchers ... mix of orange glue and tissue paper and they look gorgeous! It's being a lovely day. Little ones asleep and big ones creating their own Halloween pictures and chatting. I've been looking up things/ songs they are asking about and having such a nice time!
I've been following 'listen to the children' on Facebook and how she basically just provides the starting blocks for play and let's the children take it where they want to, and I really like that! She does seem to have older/ preschool age children and a fair few of them and a big space!

I do wish more people posted on here, it used to be such a vibrant group. Where did they all go?!
Although I have a childminder page on Facebook, and can follow some pages, it is linked to my husbands account, and I can't join the childminder Facebook group from my work page, but I don't want my own page and if i did, I don't want it linked to work!
I don't really look at Instagram unless DD screenshots/ sends me a link!

Hope it dries up soon!20221027_131843.jpg
