Losing track of the days
The children are doing a lot of reading atm, both working on their HP books. Small is about halfway through book 1 now, and Big is racing through book 4. They’ve watched some tv, though I have noticed that the frequency and amount of TV watching has dropped off steadily, from being pretty much constant…
Weekends and weekdays, all flowing together.
Given that neither Tim or I are working outside the home atm, the pattern to life here is somewhat fluid. Weekends are slightly more marked in that they are our chances to see the ppl who do work, relatives and friends both, and we made our most of our chances with a ppl filled time…
A bit of decluttering.
There has been a heap of stuff in the kitchen here since shortly after we moved in. I’m not quite sure how it started, things have been taken away and other things added, but it was unnecessary, and today I dealt with it. This despite feeling for most of the day that what I really…
Sum total of education today
if you scream or pull faces, I will send you to your room. Hm, must be more than that surely? Not a lot more though. They are both immersing themselves in buildabearville, due to having the friend codes now. Small will play on the computer for a while and then wander away, while Big is…
Big's plan
Sitting down with Big to work out what she thinks she ought to be doing during this home ed lark. This is being typed pretty much as we speak, so will be somewhat disjointed 🙂 We both think that maths should be a regular activity, as maths gets easier if you practise it. She wants…
Defensive orgo planning
For pretty much as long as she has been able to talk, Big’s last question of the day has been “what are we doing tomorrow?” and my standard answer is “I don’t know yet”. I’m not a person who lives by plans, and my children are, so I figure that this time around with home…
Today's library haul
Crafting creativity: 52 brilliant ideas for awakening the artistic genius within (52 brilliant ideas series) – saw this one on a teaser display of the non fiction books they have upstairs. As we didn’t have time to go upstairs thought I’d grab it and have a look. Have peeked at the first chapter/ brilliant idea…
A day of packages
I had so many good intentions today. Well, at least I got the car serviced 🙂 Let’s see. I wanted to clear out bits of the dining room – Tim managed to hoover in there at least. I pulled a couple of bits out and I have a big pile of stuff to drop off…
the eighth result
Now, how long is it going to be before I join the select crew of Wizard Whimstaff results in google? 😀 Tim took Big out today, and they went to wilkos and bought Wizard Whimstaff’s Hilarious Handwriting (aka Basic Skills: Handwriting: Ages 6-7 (Basic Skills)) and his Toady Times Tables: Magical Skills Level 1 (Magical…
And now for something different…
