chalk, bubbles,beads and sleeping in bed

When we were visiting Grandma in the Forest of Dean on Saturday, she gave N some chalks. Needless to say that yesterday and today has involved chalk designs on our driveway....with some bubbles thrown in... here is a couple of her doodles...

At the moment N is really into making bead necklaces and bracelets. She has spent hours doing it, which is nice to see as normally she has a very short attention span :) Hopefully a video post will be on her blog very soon.

We have also been making birthday and anniversary cards for September, and today we took the tent down from N's bedroom. She has been sleeping in it for 2 weeks now! A mountain of clean laundry and other items from her bedroom had been growing on the landing as we couldn't get in her room for it to be put away! However putting away a pop up tent is not as easy as it seems... or is it just us? After a 20 minute workout trying to get it down to the small sized bag it is suppoed to go back in, I suggested we wait for N's brother to come over later as he will probably look at it and do it in 5 seconds! I hate that when you can't get things back in the box / bag it came in.
