The first week of the new term was a fairly informal one for us.
Monkey and Munchkin attended a Pupil Free Day (teacher inservice) Lego day at a local church while Monster and I spent a day together doing some shopping and enjoying a lunch date. So the rest of the week was spent in the following ways...
Getting outdoors as MUCH as possible! There was much running and monkey bar crossing to be done this particular day...
Wednesday we celebrated the Monkey's 9th birthday. The boys started the day with a game of Pop the Pig while they waited (not so) patiently for Monkey to be allowed to open his presents!
Rubiks Race was a new addition to the growing game collection, so they immediately set to work figuring out how to play it.
One of the few serious photos I got during a very silly birthday photo session at the park!
On the way home we spotted this strange bug...
In the evening it was Monkey's choice for dinner: sausages from the local butcher, Kraft deluxe macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables (peas, carrots and corn) and brussel sprouts... followed by cake and candles for dessert.
Another trip to the playground during the week... and we just had to stop to watch the Spoonbill fishing for his lunch...
I'm quite certain the boys have invented a sort of "King of the Mountain" game involving the slide...
Munchkin showing me how he can pump the swing all on his own now...
Followed by his special dismount!!
Munchkin's read alouds choices...
Independent reading for Monster...
Another read aloud chosen by Munchkin...
All three boys enjoyed learning a bit more about how pencils are made...
Monster read all four books in this set in the space of like two days...
And Monkey finished this book as part of Premier's Reading Challenge for this year.
