Castletown house...

To make the return to school somewhat more enjoyable we decided to take the girls and our homeschool friends on the tour of Castletown House in Celbridge in Kildare.
Much to our dismay we were not permitted to take any photos once inside the house

this light is from inside the restaurant, as Aideen said it was awesome.....

I couldnt resist this picture of our happy snapper!

This is one of the wings on the way in to the house, were the tour begins

Martina finally realising I was taking her photo!

The tour took just under an hour, the house was built around 1720 by William Connolly. The house was past to his nephew Tom and Lady Louisa Lennox.

this is the front of the house and during the summer they open the doors and let and a band are playing in the entrance hall

the three amigos!

We walked through the grounds once the rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds.

We even found some chestnuts

yes...we are homeschooling Momas!

back to school....

Art was the theme of our back to school day.

A very relaxing ease back in to homeschool

We made sunshine handprints...

We had all types of

styles and colours

this was the last flower

in the garden and

Sadhbh liked the

colour and painted her

prints a similar shade

the girls spent ages

mixing colours

quite a collection

of handprints!

and now we

have are very

own

sunshine.....hands!

to go with

our sunshine

hands the

girls wrote

up what the

knew about

the sun.

Caoimhe finished

quite quickly

and decided to

finish her letter

to her penpal

in South Africa



A nice easy day

with an afternoon

trip to our

homeschool friends
