A blog post filled with less academic work and more of life and living.
Munchkin scored a spider plant cutting from one of the big plants that our Pastor's wife brought to church this week. So, we set to work planting it in some soil in a spare pot to see if it will grow.
Some tricky math work for Munchkin this week - angles and lines
We saw some glorious sunshine this week. Munchkin begged for the trampoline instead of a walk on the footpath and since some weeding and general yard work needed to be done, I appeased him. Yes, there are tons of photos of him jumping, but I included them all, because it has been so long since we've had a sunny day.
I'm not entirely sure what the full story is behind these two photos, but Munchkin spent some time organising all his favourite stuffed animals on the lounge and then carefully placing the T-Rex on the floor in front of the lounge. Perhaps he is guarding them and protecting them, perhaps they are being punished, your guess is as good as mine. But I do love that my son, who is creeping ever closer to the double digit ages, still loves to play with his stuffed animals.
Munchkin's rosemary that he propogated from church is growing nicely. So nicely, flowers are blooming. I seemingly have never noticed the rosemary flowering at church, but I was thrilled when I spotted this tiny little beauty.
The medical fun begins...
Friday morning Munchkin had an early morning migraine. These happen every 2-3 months, are usually triggered by lack of sleep and/or stress and resolve within 1-2 hours after they start. But strangely, at around 5pm Friday night, Munchkin's headache, tummy ache, and nausea/vomiting returned. By Saturday he was also running a fever and since our family doctor was closed we went to our local hospital. After about six hours, a blood sugar test, and some discussion, they determined it was a tummy bug (gastro) on top of his migraine and sent us home. When we got home, VERY late at night, we discovered that Monkey had fixed up Munchkin's bed super nice for him upon his return.
Munchkin is still thoroughly enjoying this series of books and reads and re-reads them over and over again.

Continuation of these series of books that we are using and loving for the boys curriculum content for this year...
Left Photo: it is always fun to learn about Benjamin Franklin. This book was a fun way to introduce him a bit more before diving in to his autobiography. Monster is learning about Ben Franklin as part of his Enlightenment unit.
Another book in the Series of Unfortunate Events has been enjoyed.
We also read book one of the Alice stories... Munchkin has said Alice isn't his favourite girl in the series, but he is still enjoying the books.
