We were on TV!!!! Well mostly Lilly. She has a solo, close up moment in My Kitchen Rules when they are discussing the Spaghetti and Meatball people. The camera captures our little Lilly Pilly’s cheese sprinkling expertise and then reuses the same footage when the Meatball people are being judged. The brown arms behind her [...]
May I introduce, after one mad hour of frantic costuming, Super Girl, Bat Girl, The Green Lantern and The Shadow. Go on say I did a good job, I need the encouragement. Yesterday afternoon was this lot’s church kid’s club Super Hero Dress Up Day. Being the organised and decisive family that we are (ha [...]
We are still stuck at home the chorus of phlegmy choughs preventing us from going near real people. And because my constant command of “no more coughing” is going totally unheeded (by myself included) we are missing out on church.

I’m not even sure how we got to this but I guess this is what home Schooling is all about. We are putting on a play, maybe, if Eli wants to on the day. We have been looking at Aboriginal art and culture and as part of this unit I read Tales of My Grandmother’s [...]

The items that really actually do fit are: The bookshelf that used to live at my brothers house All the clothes (other than Lani’s [...]
We took the kids to see the Mythic Creatures exhibit at the National Maritime Museum, and scared the living daylights out of them. It was advertised as having Dragons, mermaids unicorns and fairies so I thought, cool we have some fans of those in this house and it might inspire this term’s visual arts unit. [...]
Today we learnt about the importance of Skelingtons. Sorry I know I should use the correct pronunciation but some times the the kids word creations deserve to be spared the dissolving mists of time. First I asked the kids to make this pillow case stand up by its self. I playfully mocked their efforts saying [...]
In the holidays the kids made a whole bunch of creative artworks
