Christmas trees and camping!
We woke up to find the canaries had gotten out. So I decided to get the tree out a few days early for decorating. I like to do it on December 1st usually. So Alex was really keen, he’s been asking me for a few weeks already! Daniel just wants to be involved. so we […]
The zoo, a new HS group to go to and parkour
We started the week with a visit to Werribee Zoo as we haven’t been for an age! Alex was pleased that we got around the whole zoo. The kids really enjoyed the bus safari (after we eventually made it on, what a busy day!) and this was probably the first time that Daniel has really […]
Another train expo & Emily’s party
Vio took Alex to a football academy. Football is great for his energy levels! I took Daniel to a friends daughter’s 3rd birthday. It was nice for Daniel to have me to himself, and given the kids were all younger than Alex, it was nice that I didn’t feel anxious about his noise and energy […]
Another week…
So the week started off with Science Club. I didn’t even have to wake the kids! Science Club started off with some rockets that unfortunately didn’t work. Then a lot of the kids moved on to free play and eating but there were a few that wanted to do the exploding bag experiment, Alex being […]
Bike riding and creature powers!
Alex made it to a Saturday morning karate session! He was so happy about it and afterwards commented on how silly it was to have been scared. I said it’s easy to think that way after you know something is OK. He also used the word ‘stupid’, so we talked about that too. he says […]
Bikes and fractions
I organised a homeschool group outing to the local bike education centre. It was very popular, although the organising was a little tricky. It was such a good value for money experience, the kids absolutely loved it! Alex surprised me by obeying the road rules pretty well. Daniel was zooming around on his bike, not […]
Reconnecting
Our third and final MSO concert should have been at the weekend, but after Daniel’s objections at the last one we decided to sell the tickets to a friend on the cheap. So instead Alex was going to attend karate. He’d never done a Saturday morning before and had been talking about it for a […]
Enforced home time!
So my last post talked about what we do when we choose to stay home. This week we were forced to stay home! We visited Kidz City on the Monday, Alex had been asking for ages. I don’t like to go often because of the cost – not just to get in but for the […]
What we do at home
So it’s the start of November. Alex is already asking for the christmas tree to go up. I’ve said December 1st (selfish old me with a November birthday resents christmas taking over!) We’ve had a few home days and we have not had limits on screens for about 18 months now. So what do the kids do […]
