Jan to April 2024

 

So January felt kind of hectic. Soeun was doi g extra work so he could step back in Feb. I was trying to get lots of homeschool lessons done while the weather was cool and the internet was on.



Feb was sort of a break for Soeun but overall not restful for various reasons. There's other responsiblities he has, plus less stepping up than he hoped for (useful insight) and we all got some horrible flu thing, maybe COVID 19. 

We did have a few nice family mornings in the yard. After all the events of 2022 it felt good to be able to do that. Also a bushwalk. I was hoping for more, but at least we had once fun afternoon in the temple park.

Family bushwalk. Mummy carries all the bags!


We missed a friends birthday and sleepover and a big town event, due to the flu. We hoped to make it up as soon as we got better but by then we were plunged into hot season!

We take our long summer break in March April as its too hot to learn. We ve been totally out of routine and always have ice cream in the freezer. We mostly do nothing due to the heat, but the kids still keep up some creative things. Sometimes it feels like they learn more when Im not forcing lessons on them and I wonder if we should be unschoolers.

Early mornings are the only time cool enough for walks/ rides.

Too hot for too long! Last May instead of getting cooler, it got hot! What will happen this year?

Moved around the furniture a couple times in the last couple of months.
