This week chugged along, not much different. Arley was both cute and bad-tempered, and Carmie was sassy but an angel. The kids' swimming lessons started up again, which they are really happy about, and Arley FINALLY floated for the first time by himself. It's been two years in the making, so it is a huge achievement! We couldn't even get him to lie back in the pool not too long ago. The kids had their usual big swim in the pool after their lesson - this takes up most of Friday afternoon, but not most of Arley's energy. Over the weekend, we took the kids on a picnic, with our new wagon, that they insist is for them, not for all of our picnic stuff. We spent half of the picnic dragging them around in it, and it is also where Arley decided to eat his lunch. Carmie has extraordinary fashion sense, and wore a pink ballet outfit with her sparkly purple hightop sneakers. She then removed the skirt for our beach trek, so she was wearing only a pink leotard and her purple sneakers for our visit to the rock pools Who am I to stop her, I got married in track pants!
Carmie's Montessori day is back in session. I have no idea what they do there all day, but she does enjoy it. Arley spent the day at the farm so I could get some work done. We have also organised a Spanish experience class for the local homeschool kids. There is a lovely couple here from Spain until the end of May, and they are teaching the kids Spanish through theatre, song and dance, and we are hosting it from our house, so there were nine homeschool kids running around here today. It was so lovely to see the kids having so much fun and learning about another culture. And after that we took Carmie off to her Aikido class, so I'm pretty exhausted!
And that's really all the news from this week.
I promise. this is the last video of the kids slo-mo jumping, but it is a cute one :)
