Energy

I don't like blogs that aren't posted on regularly, so here I am posting.

A quick update until things get going again. We have been doing the basics, which for us is bookwork that is scheduled and the girls are free to choose what to do with the rest of their time. This is how we have always done school with me injecting the extras when I could in the past. So I guess it is our default setting. I have been lacking energy and have been wrung out by all the normal things we do to run a house, cooking, cleaning and shopping. I'm glad our weather has changed so the heat isn't sapping me anymore.

We've had a visitor in our house for the past little bit - Flat Abigail. Unfortunately we have only taken her to the park. I was planning on going out to some of the landmarks around town and taking some photos with her to send off to the Canadian girl's teacher. If you are interested in hosting her next please comment.

Chug Chug Chug

We're chugging along here. I'm so proud of the girls. Even though we've started later most days of this week and last, they've just started when I've said it's time. I have been very tired and it turns out I have a bad tooth (THAT explains it!). So I've taken it easy and not done as much unit work (more hands on for me) this week. The girls have been very artsy though. Olivia is into photography (mainly her cat) and has been making picture frames (a kit that her Grandma gave her for Christmas). Natasha loves to quill. Quilling is a craft involving thin strips of paper which is curled up and stuck onto paper or to each other to create amazing things. So far she's made a frog a dog, a snowflake and something else that I can't remember! So that's my very quick wrap up of the time since I last blogged. I'll be off to Perth in the next little while and so the girls will be home with their homeschooling Dad! Dave's just started his degree and will be a good example for them to see what uni is like!
