Moving into winter

It's all about catching the outside days while we've got them. Simon had the afternoon off work on Tuesday since he had to work a half of his day off on Monday. Since the sun *finally* came out after a wet weekend we headed into the hills for a walk that we hadn't done before.

This morning we got out our Earthwise book and turned to the Winter pages. Something that I've often wanted to try only never gotten around to it. We made a quick version of a Pomander with an orange and cloves. I may investigate making one using other spices that I dry off as well.



And then there's a lot of the usual questions about all sorts, asking what words say, how they're spelt, figuring out how the larger numbers all fit together, writing notes and messages, playing with lego, hanging out in the garden and sandpit, riding bikes, doing some housework and cooking, watching DVDs and cutting up paper, and more paper.
