What’s everyone doing over half term with the kids?

We have booked pumpkin picking at a local farm one day, swimming another day (the pool is cordoned off into 6 sections for family groups) & meeting friends another day (outside, we are Tier 2). Other than that, lots of homework, craft, baking & will do a little Halloween party for the 5 of us.

Sounds lovely Smile

Hiring a Motorhome and going on an adventure!

Fittata · 23/10/2020 22:32

It's meant to rain all week here, so crafts, baking, watching movies, making dens. Lots of wine for me!

pumpkinpie01 · 23/10/2020 22:33

@Howmanysleepsnow wow ! Have fun that will be amazing !

adagio · 23/10/2020 22:34

Wales.
Staying home, baking (if ingredients don’t get deemed ‘non essential’). Walking round and round local park litter picking. Again.

bibliomania · 23/10/2020 22:36

I promised dd a hamster.

Funatish · 23/10/2020 22:36

Long walks, baking, eventually sorting out a pumpkin or two. And lots of wine

WellTidy · 23/10/2020 22:37

Halloween crafts and baking

Shopping for pumpkins and carving

Sealife centre

Local forest walk with cake in the cafe afterwards

Swimming at a leisure pool

Snow dome

Decorating one of the bedrooms - DC are going to ‘help’ with the emulsion

Having a clear out - DC are putting aside what they no longer read or play with, and I am doing the same in relation to clothes and shoes, and we are passing to cousins or local charity or taking to the tip

I've got a 3 year old in nursery 5 sessions.
We have nothing planned 2 days- so will probably go to the park, and maybe local woods those days.
One day we are pottery painting with friends, another seeing a friend at a play centre, and the other having a playdate .

BrieAndChilli · 23/10/2020 22:45

Another in wales.
Trying to get kids off electronics and play a board game. Dragging them out for a walk, probably in the rain. Baking and eating and putting the pounds I’ve just lost back on, missing my bootcamp exercise class, trying to find a film all 3 kids agree on, ignoring the pile of crap everywhere.

Camogue · 23/10/2020 22:47

Not in the UK and we’re restricted to within 5 k of home, plus we can’t mix households, and virtually everything other than food shops is closed, and the weather forecast is poor, so your guess is as good as mine. Walks, baking and watching films?

CountessFrog · 23/10/2020 22:48

Going on holiday, going surfing, going to restaurants and the theatre.

Yes I’m in England.

delilahbucket · 23/10/2020 23:02

Nothing now my son is isolating after school cases Angry.

Scoleah · 23/10/2020 23:06

Wales here too.
Halloween crafts,
Colouring, board games, walks if the weather is nice; probably out in the rain too if the kids don't get on!
Husband has managed to get next Thursday & Friday off too so probably baking then; as he doesn't set the alarms off as frequently as me Blush

Misty9 · 23/10/2020 23:08

Forest walks, watching films, screen time, packing to move house, and a night in a campervan Grin

Viv0321 · 23/10/2020 23:20

Everyone that’s going in a camperVan where are you going to?

@Viv0321

Everyone that’s going in a camperVan where are you going to?
I live in Norfolk so we're just spending the night in a holiday park type place. The van was only available for one night and I figured it's better than nothing with all our other holidays having been cancelled this year!
Howmanysleepsnow · 23/10/2020 23:50

The middle of nowhere! No contact with anyone, just beach walks, forest walks and a fire pit.

IdblowJonSnow · 24/10/2020 00:07

@Howmanysleepsnow
That sounds amazing. Jeal!

Viv0321 · 24/10/2020 01:06

Sounds lovely! Enjoy!

I’ve still gotta work 4 days out of the week and factor in DS autism mixed with a pandemic now his anxiety has hit the roof we may make it out for one day.

MinnieMountain · 24/10/2020 07:15

Going for a big walk one day, swimming, making his Hallowe’en costume.

Also going to Duxford aeroplane museum.

dinodiva · 24/10/2020 08:14

4 days at the seaside (very relieved we can go), museum and farm trips booked and hopefully a socially distant outdoors play date when we get back.

Crunchymum · 24/10/2020 08:22

Swimming (lessons not pleasure)
Canal walk
Dentist Shock
Nature reserve / trail (will meet friends, tier two here)
Local parks

Except it's going to piss down all week!!!
