just another morning here

Has been a bit of a classic newspaper article home ed morning today. Haven’t even had time for a coffee, so must go and get one asap. At one point I had both girls around the dining room table working on miniature books for their lapbooks, and Joe on my knee reading books to me. Abbie’s done a little flap book about the differences between male and female ducks, and Anna’s done a bug lifecycle one. Nothing too taxing, but it was nice that they enjoyed working on them. We had already made coloured chocolates (a bit disastrous, that, so the less said the better!). They have now all given up and gone off to gamecube, and I’m sitting here printing pictures for Abigail from sites we’ve looked at together. Need a better printer though, they are rubbish, which is somewhat frustrating.

Duck links that Abbie and I used for her duck lapbook, here in case I need them again:
Wildfowling Magazine
Pets online pictures
Different Duck species

Steve’s due home for lunch sometime soonish, we’re planning a maths afternoon before heading out for cello lessons. And this is about as typical a day as any other, so it does happen like this sometimes in our house, anyway. Must get on and clear up and cook … we have re-instigated the Dinner Winner badge when we’re all together for a meal and it is working again.
