Finally flipping and a very short camping trip

Posted on February 12, 2017 by admin

Home Alex has been watching some animal documentaries as well as Trollhunters – he’s really loved this series. He also got into Tarzan and Jane briefly. He found this one scene where Tarzan kicks the ball so hard that it bursts through a football net fascinating! I think the latter has inspired some recent drawings […]

Cuddles to start the year

Posted on February 5, 2017 by admin

Many days this week we’ve spent sleeping in, all snuggled in the cuddle bed. What a nice way to start the year! I’ve been thinking about how I want to use this blog again. I don’t want it to be boring! I think I’m going to group activities, rather than write about days and report […]

Reflection of 2016

Posted on January 23, 2017 by admin

  We’ve done a heap this year. I won’t post about it here as the blog speaks for itself. We are on field trips every week of the year, following the kids’ interests and enjoying all we experience along the way. This year we’ve done a number of incursions as a homeschool group, but we […]

The run up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve

Posted on January 14, 2017 by admin

Plus Two, and two, and two again! There were a few days when we had cousins over. We went for a walk to the park, played and watched TV. Alex finds these days a little hard, and relations are strained between us. But when he allows it, we all have fun together. On a separate occasion […]

An almost pictureless and quick summary of the week.

Posted on January 5, 2017 by admin

It’s 2017 and I’m yet to finish writing about December! Home Daniel was watching Mr Maker one morning and suddenly declared that he wanted to make shapes, so off we went to the play room. He got right to cutting. He made triangles first, of different sizes – shape families! He asked me to make […]

The busiest week!

Posted on December 31, 2016December 31, 2016 by admin

The week started with a play date.We had a friend over for the first time. I was a little nervous as Alex and friend can clash, plus with our busy week ahead Alex can often need some space. It was an interesting day – Alex didn’t seem himself, I don’t think he knew how to […]

Currawong Kids, an unhatched pigeon egg and 3 PBs in one day!

Posted on December 25, 2016 by admin

I signed us up for Currawong Kids. I had been skeptical earlier in the year to spend money to be out in nature, but Alex had so loved bush camp that I thought we’d give it a go. Alex was very keen, and took no persuading to get ready a nd leave early in the […]

Last few days of November

Posted on December 22, 2016 by admin

We started the week with errands – on the way home the kids asked to stop at the park. We got the basketball and football out, and Alex designed an obstacle course for himself that he asked me to time him whilst doing. He also kept challenging himself to jump further and further off a […]
