It's been quite a successful and 'blessing filled' week...
Sunday was Girls and Boys Brigade Parade Service at church
Here's Melinda almost ready to go.
We then had a lovely new friend and her children back for lunch... it's extra nice when you find 'easy to get along with' people!
We have gotten much bookwork done with home ed... slowly starting to catch up! Our new maths curriculum arrived - we're moving from 'Easy Learn Maths' to 'Math-U-See'... I'll explain 'why' in another post. In a week or two we will begin the new work. I need to unpack some tools to use with it first - they're in a box around here somewhere!!
I'm pretty impressed with Melinda's writing (8yo) (we're not moving to cursive for a few years yet) I will admit I do push the 'neat' thing in our house. Adults with barely legible printing & writing drive me NUTS!!

(in the picture, the ants are carrying a pen - I had thought it was an airplane!)Wednesday we had some of our favourite people drop by - my friend Marion and their 7 children - it's so wonderful to open the back door and see the yard dotted with children happily playing together. They live a couple of hours away so it's something that can take some planning! We'll be headed their way in the next week-ish (If she lets me!!)
Thursday I had an old/new friend stop by and we got chatting about kids, behaviour, parenting etc... again so nice to chat with people who have God in their lives!
...and then Today!
This morning we were once again productive with bookwork and so had a free afternoon. The children and I drove out to Sassafras in The Dandenongs to find old fashioned FUDGE... we found it!

Nathaniel does a lovely girl - don't you think?

Looks like you've been on the go with all the visitors and events going on. It's a blessing to have a good connection with close, easy-going friends.
ReplyDeleteMelinda looks so cute in her brigade outfit. And her handwriting is absolutely beautiful. So neat and lovely to read. Well done Melinda!

PS. LOL at Nathaniel.
