After school the kids are loving their new sunny playroom, which so far has been a place to read, draw, play keyboard, make car tracks and play animal hospitals....Alfie x-rayed a stuffed dog the other day and diagnosed it as having a piece of cauliflower stuck in its brain. Molly then nursed it back to health and taught it to play the piano.
She's really into her music lessons at the moment, both recorder and keyboard...
Molly also can't seem to stop reading at the moment and gets through a big pile of books every week. She reads in the playroom, in the kitchen, on the toilet, in the car, while she's walking.....and we often find her reading by torchlight under her duvet a long time after lights out.
Meanwhile, I have a lovely sunny workspace, which is keeping me motivated and productive during a VERY very busy period...
Both kids have been doing a lot of science at school this term, and have been practising their favourite experiments at home. Molly made a lava lamp the other day out of oil, water, food colouring and headache tablets. And Alfie still loves to bake (apparently this is classed as science).
And on wild weekend evenings the kids are enjoying watching Australia's Got Talent in our cozy lounge room.
Meanwhile, Jake's been very slowly recovering from a mystery virus that won't seem to go away.
Although he's been feeling very run down for weeks now, his biggest frustration at the moment is that it's been stopping him from running/biking more than 12 kms a day and doing more than 400 lengths in the pool every week.
In the meantime he has been very successful in using the aches and pains as an excuse for the kids to stay up late and give him back massages before bed...
