Arden has been working on some English recently-grammar and poetry, as well as us doing some ink drawings.
Fish by Arden.
Examining phrases, clauses and sentence (in Arden's usual creative writing style- the more artistic the better LOL!)
My eagle pen and ink drawing.
Irving's pen and ink drawing. He seems to love pen and ink.
Some poetry and sketching by Arden, about lions.
My lion sketch.
Fabuland lego village building session with Irving, whilst all the big kids are out.
I've been using everyone's old trousers to make Irving new pants. These are out of a pair of Willow's old jeans.
Another pair out of Damien's old trousers. Irving wanted yellow stitching.
A final pair out of Damien's old jeans.
Again lots of happiness, but this time couldn't keep still!
Out for a walk, just to splash in puddles.
Last bit of form drawing for this year, an interesting looking fish, which Arden found to copy.
Arden, planning a flag design for a t-shirt.
An experimental embroidery project. Arden created a cactus.
And this lead to Irving wanting a cactus patch.
Making pumpkin bread! Mostly me, with a bit of help. (We've been doing some German cooking.)
Gabriel made us breakfast bagels on father's day for brunch.
Damien and I decided that Willow and Gabriel need to learn a bit about doing the shopping, so we headed to City Farm, gave them the grocery money, and ordered coffee. Seems to have been a successful experiment so far, and will be happening fortnightly, in an attempt to encourage them to be aware of what's in the fridge when they cook dinner.
