Week Two - Diary Tuesday 8th Dec 2009

I am writing this on Wednesday, and I am having trouble remembering what we did on Tuesday.

We had a mostly at home day which was nice. I made fresh bread early in the AM, from the sourdough spelt dough I'd set to rise the previous evening, I just Looooove fresh bread for breaky.

Thanks for the lovely cuppa Josh.

We are still making our way through a box full of organic apple I'd bought a few weeks ago and they are starting to show their age, so Josh chopped them up and we made a delish apple crumble which we shared with a guests Sam and Alex for morning tea.

We also started making some activity cards to help with the organisation of our homeschooling and daily activities. We took photos of all different things like: readers, maths books, candle making stuff, sewing, knitting, books etc. we printed them out and laminated them. The idea is that each week we choose X mount of activities we'd like to do and spend the week working through them when we can. We certainly are not the most organised family in the world, so i am hoping this will help us a great deal.

As mentioned, we had some friends over for morning tea, Alex is a sweet little girl Eli used to go to kinder with Eli (Noah went to school with her brother, and I am friends with the mum, Sam), they are very lovely people and we had a nice morning. The kids made some bees wax candles and I taught Alex how to knit because she was desperate to, she did very well.

Noah and Eli made some cards, and played with the blocks and cars and horses, Charlie wanted to play too!!!

I had to go down to the shops a bit later, and I was so stoked to buy a $40 pair of jeans for $15, I love it when that happens. Danny was home today, and he and Josh went phone shopping...and came home with ...IPHONES!!! They are very cool. Another thing to wasted my precious time and make my life "simpler. It is good though, I think I will start taking voice memos so i can remember what we do each day...I've always wanted something like that! Lots of very handy AP's.

The boys had dug out their slot car track for a play, this is very weird for Charlie, his head goes round and round and round, as the cars do, it's quite funny to watch.

We had Adam over for dinner and to help us drink some beer, as we desperately need the bottles on the weekend to bottle some beer. Thanks Adam, that's what friends are for.

It was a nice day and felt very spoilt to have new jeans and a very cool new phone all in the same day.
