Week Four of school holidays already and time for birthday celebrations for me. The boys continue to enjoy a very laid back time playing board games, working on jigsaw puzzles, and reading LOTS of books for the summer reading challenge.
We were pleasantly surprised to discover two pair of Superb Fairy Wrens in the backyard one afternoon. My photos are shocking because they move so quickly, but if you click on the link (Superb Fairy Wrens above) you can see some better photos.
Monster enjoyed putting together a magnetic puzzle he received from friends for his birthday...
We continue to work on life skills every day... On the left, Monster is fixing himself a lebanese bread pizza for lunch... On the right, Munchkin was my dinner helper for the night and grated some of the cheese needed for taco and burrito night.
We've been enjoying LOTS of board games and card games over the holidays...
I enjoyed a good game of Qwirkle with Monster...
Some Tic-Tac-Two and Chinese Checkers with Munchkin...
And Monopoly Deal card game with Munchkin as well...
Finally, we ended the week celebrating my birthday. Friday (my actual birthday) was another VERY hot day so we stayed and home and did as little as possible in an attempt to keep cool. But on Saturday we were off to visit some dear friends for a belated Christmas and New Years get together... as well as birthday celebrations for me.
After a delicious BBQ lunch the three boys opened their Christmas gifts to give some time for their lunch to settle in their stomachs...
Then, while the adults enjoyed cups of tea and some discussion, the boys enjoyed themselves in the pool.
Finally, we enjoyed afternoon tea with a birthday cake and presents for me, followed by some board games before we headed home in the evening. It was a wonderful way to end this week.
