Slipping into Spring

The weather has been truly magical and springlike this week. Oh I just love it, I really do. I love that its getting light before 7am, I love the fog burning off to leave us with just-warm spring sunshine, I love washing blowing in the breeze and daylight at 6pm. I just love it all.
I cant really remember much of this week, its just been a blur of homeschool with a couple of visits. We began Sebs Building main lesson block at long last and Emma has decided she wants to work through it too. This has been taken well although there is a certain amount of Seb wanting to know when he gets to do lego. So far we have learnt a little about gypsies, made some clay pots, done some drawing in MLB and read some of our Houses and Homes book. Its been quite good fun.
Seb did some Reading Eggs,  Singapore Maths and ETC and has nearly finished his Sonlight first reader (thank goodness, its beyond dull!!) He planted some cress for his science too.
Emma has been working really hard on Food Tech and Art which is lovely to see and has has been doing Maths, English and her Apologia science stuff. She had her Grade 2 theory exam on Thursday which she thought went well and is now keen to start grade 3 theory - she adores theory, strange girl.
Abi had done..... Maths! We cannot wait until June and the whole thing is over. She is just so keen to move on and I know she is trying less hard than she could be but I cant make her try either. Hey Ho!
On Tuesday I met up at Jungle Jungle with a couple of other homeschoolers with 'busy' boys and it was lovely just to hang out there. Unfortunately my sore throat was still lingering and I developed one of the absolutely worst headaches I had in a while. By the time I got home it was full blown migraine status. I had a scary near-miss as my vision did its migraine thing and clouded over.  I made it home in once piece but I literally had to hand Lucas to Abi, throw up and then take tablets. It was an awful few hours until the tablets kicked in.
Thursday we had a short visit with another friend who we rarely see these days. It was lovely to spend a couple hours talking about home ed ideas and techniques.
HEY was better this week too although  I am convinced the better weather was the key. We decided to talk there as it was just such lovely weather. A new lady came with her twin boys and I was more alert so more able to function.
Most of our free time has been spent outside soaking up sunshine and making the most of the heat as the weekend looks set to return to chillier, wetter weather. Joy!
