A peak inside our week

Term 4 is a busy one for us with regular classes and activities on every day of the week apart from Wednesday.  On Thursday last week I decided to attempt capturing each day in photos.  Not beautiful photography, but moments of our day snapped here and there....simply for prosperity.

Thursday looks a little like this each week.  Yes.  I'm starting with Thursday, why ever not?!

 First stop of the day is always coffee of course.

Will bought the boys these Colombian soccer shirt on a trip there earlier this year.  They're thrilled to be able to wear them with a purpose now and truth be told so am I.  Call me a snob, but I've just never been into the sports wear as casual fashion look.

 

Onto SHRIMPs, our local homeschool meet where the children engage in imaginative play with dear friends for hours and hours.  This week it centred around making ochre paint from crushed rocks.  Many trips were made to the picnic rugs for vessels to contain this wonderful stuff.  Will got a couple of nasty surprise in the form of mud-filled lunch containers later that evening when he was doing the dishes.  I've suggested to Dex that he take some takeaway containers next time he thinks such things might be necessary at SHRIMPs because frankly, our beautiful stainless steel lunch boxes are too precious to be filled with filthy park-mud.  Gross.

One of their friends wasn't there on Thursday so the children made a sign:  Wanted!  Olivia T to turn up!  (Unfortunately it didn't have the desired effect.  But I'm sure Olivia would be pleased to know she was so missed).

Lunch was homemade nori rolls made by moi.  Dedication or what?  We began eating gluten free last week as Hugo has tested positive to an intolerance.  The rest of us have also been tested and are awaiting results but in the meantime its easier on Hugo if we all join him in his gluten free world.  (We are all feeling fantastic by the way, even thought it DEOS require far more forethought and planning and rolled-at-the -park lunches.  Did you know that just about all bought sushi rice contains gluten in the form of wheat glucose in the seasoning- what a drag huh?).

It was impossible to tear the children away from their play this week.  But isn't the late afternoon light lovely?  I believe it was close to 7pm before we left.  I love day light savings and anyone who doesn't is crazy!
