We walked past these logs yesterday. 

Love how we can count an age of a tree through it's rings but to also see the colour change and moss on the side is great just made me look on at awe.

We had our family firework night  this week and I was trying to capture as many pictures of the night as possible. 

Whilst going through them in the evening I found this:

I found the image quite dramatic rather than an enjoyable family event. What do you think?

We've been looking at reflective surfaces in Home ed and how light reflects off. 

I managed to grab this shot. You can see James' silhouette on the far right, the reflective circle of light om the mirror, the bright light hitting the mirror in the middle and the light and his reflection onto his face. 

It all just came across all mysterious.

It was my birthday earlier this week and I was lucky that I received many lovely presents one particular was this handmade, crochet blanket.

It was made by my elderly aunt who is partially blind and has arthritis in her hands so the effort, love and patience to make it, especially considering it covers my double bed, is truly cherished.

We have started our topic on Egyptians this week.

Both William and James have spent around 6 hours using pastels to create the A1 poster of a sarcophagus. I always love when a large art project that they have both worked on looks great!

Well it would have been here last month but Laura was literally halfway through moving across to another country and I was away for the 5 days and barely had time to do anything! But we are back now!

This week is our harvest church service and every year William bakes something special that can be shared amongst the congregation. 

This year he has made two different types of bread one shaped like a cat and the other as kittens. 

I love this photo because it captures the finsihed bread, his work, his want to share and how proud he is.

This week was the start of Home Education for us but I managed to snap this on the last day of the holidays.

 

The weather was wet and dismal but I was determined to get out. On the walk down James, 2 years younger, put his arm around William in a way that said "Whatever the weather we're together"

We have had a week of being out in nature exploring!


The boys always find time to climb trees.

Wicked Wednesday #26

So this week I was standing in the kitchen and doing a bit of breakfasts washing up.

I hear little feet very quietly walk into the kitchen which seemed pretty standard until I realised that little feet didn't have a little voice going "Daddy..."

On turning around I found this!

Me: "William, what are you doing?" 

William: "Stealing Sugar out of the packet"

Erm....

Well at least he was honest. 

*Note to self: Move Sugar*

Wicked Wednesday #25

So what does happen when Grandad falls asleep on the sofa? 

Well we obviously play human Buckaroo! 

So poor Grandad has a cup, blanket and a clothes horse on him.....now what else can we balance on him before he wakes up? 

I'm sure he won't be best pleased either way!

Out of the Mouth of Babes #16

We've been looking at our body in Home School this term trying to put together a body map.

In investigating our heart, pulse and what it does for us an interesting conversation between the boys happened:

#blogstorm - featured blog tips from last month

Laure chose a great post from Mrs Tubbs looking at the Things to think about before you start blogging. A great post that highlights the different factors; something I wish I had read before I started all those years ago.

My chosen post to feature is from Vicky who did a Podcast on 5 ways to improve your Facebook posts. I find all of her Podcasts useful but with this more than others as my Facebook page is always a little left behind!

Our #blogstorm Blog Tips

This month Laura linking up about her New found love for Instagram something I am looking forward to reading as it is my favourite Social Media account at the moment.

My post this month explores the idea of having a Unique Voice in blogging. This follows my realisation back in June at what mine was and then honing that voice forward.

Out of the Mouth of Babe #13

This weeks Out of the Mouth of Babes features both boys.

Wicked Wednesday #22

So this week, apparently whilst William and I are cooking:

James is being a Bee Keeper!

This also goes with the phrase "Daddy I'm being a Bee Keeper"
