Reuben is a poet and the rest of us are quite creative too

Reuben came home with this poem and drawing on Friday. 

Hannah has a secret admirer

Soooo, I've just received this beautiful flower arrangement. Not from Dave, and don't know who else over here who knows it's my birthday today might have sent them. Anyone out there recognise these flowers?

Tilly finds her dead parents very inspirational

On Tuesday we get home from school as normal. Tilly stays outside and rings the doorbell.

Me: yes?
Tilly: [stage whisper] can we pretend that I'm a visitor?
Me: oh, ok. Er, hello visitor!
T: hello. My parents are dead and I came to stay with my grandma but she's not in so can I come in?
Me: !!!!!

This was only the start of a major 'dead parents' scenario that occupied Tilly for much of the time before tea and even inspired a new piece of music.
