We skipped football practice as both kids were coughing and mostly I didn’t want Daniel out in the cold as he was most sick. So we headed to the library. Alex went on the library computer. Unfortunately he can never stay for long as Daniel is not observing library etiquette just yet (he pulls all […]

Choosing to play
We recently had a lovely day at home. The morning started with blowing up 30 balloons and playing with them. Daniel enjoys this especially and was handing me more and more balloons to blow up. I eventually noticed that he had grouped them by colour and was giving them to me in a preferred order! […]
Canaries and the Lion King!
The weekend was a busy one. Alex had football and swimming as usual, Vio was at a football training session so the kids went to Buni and Gigi’s for a few hours and later we had a family party to attend. The kids and I did not stay long. Vio was lectured about our lifestyle […]
Winter is here and my posts are all late!
I’ve had lots to do recently and this blog has been near the bottom of the priority list so a lot of these recent posts actually happened 2 weeks ago. I don’t feel the need to date them as I don’t think it’s relevant to the purpose of this blog. but a few things might […]
Bird watching, playing and a puppet show
As part of the Junior Rangers program we headed to Serendip Sanctuary for the “beaks and feet” program about bird watching. I had not known about this place before, and it’s about 45mins away. We found the park fascinating and definitely want to return and do some of the waks ourselves. Binoculars are on the ‘to […]
Magnetic tiles and a family day at Werribee zoo
So my very considered purchase of the rather expensive toy that is ‘magnetic tiles’ has been a hit! Alex has been building towers, creating a farm (including a secret hidden wardrobe for his iron man suits – lol), discovering the net shape that makes a box and creating stealth planes! Daniel has had a […]

No pictures and a little fragmented but here’s what we’ve been doing!
I’ve been terrible at taking pictures lately. Oops. Being sick, then my tooth infection has thrown me off. Plus a bit of a downer on feeling a little unsuccessful in unschooling right now. It’s not seeming so joyful at the moment! So starting where I left off… Alex had football last week as usual. Unusually […]
Sickness
There’s not been much to tell these past 2 weeks! I have been sick for a large part of it, and now it seems the kids are suffering. Yesterday they spent most of the day sleeping – Alex more than Daniel. I’m hopeful that today they will wake up feeling much better. I went to […]
Some science for Alex and new words for Daniel
Last week I showed Alex some images of lego mazes. He doesn’t play with lego that much, he gets excited about the prospect of a new lego kit, or starts to build a ‘super-long-truck’ but gets quickly distracted. So we grabbed the base plate and found all of the single line pieces and off he […]
