MONDAY: This was a fairly boring day. We did school work in the morning. Auron did his reading test and scored 17/20 and got to move up a level. He then did a Maths quiz for counting backwards and got 90%. We ended our school work with some writing practice and art. Sotarah came over for lunch and brought chocolate milk which is always a hit around here. When Daddy came home from work they all went outside to play soccer for a good 2 hours while I cleaned the house, including scrubbing all the floors. Mums always get the fun jobs.
TUESDAY: We went into the city with our home school group to watch a performance of the 52 Story Treehouse. The kids really enjoyed it, especially Auron. Ammon sat through it pretty well for the most part. There were a group of 10 year old girls seated in front of us who thought he was cute and kept him entertained making faces at him. All three kids fell asleep on the train, so that was lots of fun trying to wake them up to get off. The carpark was so full at the station that we had to park a good 10 min walk away....lots of fun with half asleep kids.
WEDNESDAY: A quiet day at home. The kids made science experiments. These consisted of mixing up all sorts of ingredients and then putting the container in the freezer to see what would happen. This days ingredients included toothpaste, fabric softener, washing powder, and soap (can you tell which room they found all their ingredients?) They do this on a daily basis almost.
THURSDAY: Back into the city again. This time we went to the Botanic Gardens to an event the had on. The kids were able to make little boats to float down a stream there and then we made cubby houses (Auron calls them Tubby houses, it reminded me of Teletubbies and then reminded me of Zion when she was little and watched Teletubbies). After we finished the activities we walked slowly back to the train stopping to see the Shrine of Remembrance and talk about Anzac Day. I'm not sure how it came up but we got to talking about the Priesthood and how Daddy has "special powers" I don't know how else you describe it to a 5 and 3 year old. But they well super impressed that Daddy could have the same powers as Jesus. I loved that little talk.
FRIDAY: Today the kids started gymnastics classes. Auron has been asking for a few months now if he could go to somewhere like school where parents drop you off then pick you up later. I love that he wants that kind of independence so we have been thinking of something he could do that would satisfy he desire. Gymnastics it was. Auron went over to the big kids room with another class and I stayed with Lili and Aarahi looked after Ammon and watched us. Auron was so excited when he came back. Later that night I dropped all the kids with Sarah and Aarahi and I went out to dinner with some friends. We got home at 1am. I am not a young person any more, I am still recovering.
SATURDAY: We went and did laundry at the laundry mat because our washing machine broke last week and I can't touch any money in our savings to buy a new one and I don't have a spare $800 laying around in our everyday account. So it is the laundry mat until this stupid mortgage is out of the way. Hopefully the next couple of weeks.
SUNDAY: I serve in Primary, it is hard work.
