Noodling Around

Jack is nearly at the end of his several-weeks-long examination period, but during half-term we took a day off revision and headed off to a big town to do some shopping. We took Grace with us and went to Tesco (UK's largest supermarket chain) to stock up on cheap summer clothes. Hey, no expense spared for us! Don't let the Vans hat fool you. Most of our clothing comes from either charity shops or supermarkets.

Then we met Jamie from work and had dinner in Noodle Nation, where Jack posed nicely for a photograph. I tell you, his children are going to be so annoyed that the only photos they have of their father are ones like this!

When they are grown up. Whilst they are still kids they'll probably think these shots are hysterical. Mmmm... Next, we drove off to the cinema for the big half-term treat: X-Men Origins, Wolverine. It was action packed and beautiful to look at, with great stunt work. Shame there was no plot!

No one seemed to mind that, though.{g}

Jack had 2 more papers (parts of exams) this past week and has 3 more next week and then it's all over for now. We wait until 10th August (I think) for the results.

I tell you, this last bit of home-educating is the most exhausting. Oh boy, am I ready for the Home For The Bewildered now. I'm looking back to those days of play dough, snuggling on the sofa to read and walks to the park with great fondness.{sigh}
