Well, the wrath of Arley seems to have come to an end (fingers crossed!). We have had three days now of relative calm from him, with just a few incidents here and there. He is still sick (I actually think he is on round two of this awful cold we have all had), and I am trying to kick the end of my cold, so I am actually both thankful and surprised that he is not still a terror. But I'll take it!
Winter has well and truly set in. We had two really miserable days this week, just freezing. We spent one really lovely morning lazing around the library and then eating lunch while reading at the library cafe. It was such a nice way to spend a cold and rainy day. We also continued with our Australia project, and the kids made fairy bread, the easiest Aussie treat ever. They have been bike riding (Arley loves it now!) and they spent a day at their grandparents'. Wes their carer took them out today to the trampoline pillow and park in Conjola, and they came home all smiles.
I have been getting paperwork together because the AP (the registrar for the education department) will be coming out soon to check on us and hopefully give us two years of registration. While we don't have much schoolwork to show, I think we will pass. Tonight I gave the kids a reading test, and Carmie's reading age is 12.4 years, and Arley's is 11.9 years! Big brains on these little guys! Not bad for my 7 and 5 year old :)
They also had their best horse riding lesson ever this week, both kicking butt. Arley has trotting down (but he is too scared to canter yet), and Carmie aced her full arena cantering. So good! Videos below:
