I have had a lovely week off of work for the second week of Easter and have been trying to spend quality time with the kids. Keeping them entertained and amused on a limited budget has been challenging but we have managed well and the kids seem to have had a good half term.
Earlier in the week I dug out the old easel and paints for Holly as she wanted to do some paintings. Tina would never do something like this with the kids as she hates the mess, needless to say Holly loved this and made four huge paintings.
We have also taken the kids to the Colchester Leisure World swimming pool which has the water slides, lazy river, pirate ship etc. What with swimming and having the jacuzzi setup again it seems like most of the week we have been soaking in chlorine!
We also managed to sneak in a quick game of bowling earlier this week at the Hollywood Bowl in Festival. Joshua was leading all the way until the last round when he came under pressure from Holly who scored a strike with her final ball. She went from last place to finish on 83 points, just 2 behind Joshua.

 |
| She absolutely loved the painting and did 4 big pictures in the end. |
 |
| We tried various different brushes and stamps to be as creative as possible. |
