A few weeks back Danielle dragged a branch inside that came from our fallen down apple tree. She just had it propped up against her wall since then, but yesterday we decided to decorate it with some "butterflies". We used various coloured felting wool and bound tufts together with twisty ties.

Over the past week the kids have watched a heap of new video's that we've acquired. They've helped me make a potato bug to make our own bread (wasn't successful, but the process counts right? lol).

Nathan has been writing almost every day in some shape or form. On Tuesday we were at playcentre and he went around with a pad of post-it-notes and wrote out everybody's names and stuck it on them. Yesterday he wanted to write out the bread recipe for me off the computer and most of his drawings he adds writing to as well now.

We are almost through reading Vin Fiz and his interest in what the words are has really intensified (almost to the point of him not actually listening to the story, but wanting to know what all the words say).

On Wednesday we met up with our unschooling group and had a blast despite all being packed into our tiny house (5 adults and 11 kids).

This afternoon we went to meet up with a group of mums and kids as part of an organic co-op that we've recently joined. So, the kids disappeared outside meeting and playing with the other kids like they've known them forever.
