Holy Monty Wars!

I think educating your children is an incredibly important part of raising them. Not just the standard subjects at school, either, which is why I decided we needed more Monty Python (in the form of their search for the Holy Grail) in our lives.

When Amie saw that the movie we were watching was full of knights, she had to join in.

Bubbles, cleaning and painting, oh my!

We're catching up on July now!

Family time

It was another chilly morning today (4ºC!) but that didn't stop Amie from getting up before 6 and wanting to be a knight early on. She loves her long hair, and loves wearing it down, but it always gets in her face if it's not clipped or tied back. Her new flower wreath was the perfect accessory to solve this problem.

Once upon a time...

The BIG event this week was going to the Abbey Medieval Festival. Amie was most excited about seeing real sword fighting in action. I decided against bringing her sword and shield with us, as I was sure I'd end up having to carry them. She was happy to go without them, especially once she saw how much was happening there.

Go fly a kite!

It's been a social week this week, which Amie's loved. We've been to the park and to a medieval festival with friends at different times, which gave us plenty of photo opportunities.

I don't even know.

Doctors, knights and fairies, oh my!

With the arrival of the new bed and the required rearranging of furniture and toys, Amie rediscovered some of her toys. And by some, I mean all. It's amazing how she can find ways to play with absolutely all of her toys. She has quite a collection of stuffed toys, and she set as many of them as she could up in her old bed with her so they could go sailing. I didn't get a picture of that, but believe me, it was a very crowded ship. There were some sharks about in the ocean (no, really, she has a fondness for stuffed sharks), but they were nice sharks and not about to eat them. This time, anyway.
