The Week That Was – 3.2

So it rained a fair bit, and then a whole lot more, and then quite a bit more… rain with patches of sunlight. We followed those sunlit patches around the house!!!

It is clearly winter and we are hibernating… lots of late mornings and thank heavens we don’t have to get ourselves to school in the morning!!! We did a whole heap of school work this week, we are two weeks away from half way through our year and I am determined to have everything up to date… And for once we seem to have everything under control: timelines, maps, journals… we could actually get this together!!! Well except for one stagnant reader who seems oblivious to fact that it has to be done daily, like “Huh? Reading?”…

So apart from all that educating there were fruit feasts:

  1. Oooch! You mean the little man took a tumble down the stairs?

    Ooof, had that happen a couple of times, and I know that whole heart stopping feeling.

  2. No he hasn’t fallen yet… but this is ALL he wants to do… reverse down the stairs and then scramble up and reverse down the stairs and scramble up and reverse down the stairs… But he is starting to stand and on the stairs it looks so wibbly wobbly!!! I can do little else than stand right there and watch has he grows through this little obsession and finds another one!!! Sometime soonish!!!! Hope the weather cools off for you!!!

  3. heheheheheh…. that bloody foot… when I first glanced at the photo I couldn’t believe he was laughing with an injury. What a SENSE of humor!!!!!!!!! I love that last pic too. :):)

  4. Hay KM, Dreadful foot isn’t it!!! Hope you having a fabulous birthday celebration over there!!! Have a fun week!!!
