catching up (again!)

We are in the midst of crazy mess. Swapping rooms around and generally sorting out the house, I think there is a definite spring time clean theme here! Hopefully next week the garden can get  similar treatment.

For now though we have our playroom done!





From crazy mess, to a hopefully more usable space. Books sorted by subject, tubs labeled and paperwork organised. One room down!!

Our weekends have ended up being a bit more like other peoples school days with music centre and art club. The race to get up and be organised and out of the door to arrive by nine takes us some effort! But the end results are so worth it. This weekend the boys all took part in the regional competition as part of the National Festival of Music for Youth. They showcased a medley of Mary Poppins songs that form part of their big summer show (this year Disney musicals). They were accompanied by the centres senior band and were completely fabulous! They got one of the biggest cheers from the audience and were up against some very stiff competition from other ensemble groups, but in their section nobody had combined all the different elements (dance, singing and music) so fingers crossed!



And despite all my crazy, illness induced ranting and worrying the kids have been reading, learning and working hard in lots of different ways.

Teaching himself piano and guitar!

His favourite book this week- "thinking of a number"

6 was too many!
