School Holidays
Some of what we've been up to:
Wednesday October 3: We watched a Scooby Doo performance. Fascinating I must say. Although those pants on Shaggy.... he was worth watching from certain angles... and I think the men in the audience thought similarly about Daphne...
Friday October 5: We went to the hills. Stopped at Lobethal for lunch (those darn rednecks leave their Christmas lights on all year!), and continued on to Woodside and the chocolate factory. These "cement mixers" ARE full of chocolates! We saw the snakes going onto the conveyor belt to get coated in chocolate - I think Liam's expressions can tell the story in the pics below. We also went to the Whispering Wall (Williamstown) and I really wanted to photograph the water level which was visibly lower than last time, but my camera batteries went flat. The boys met some other kids there, who they talked with from the other end of the wall.
Sunday October 7: Not much, just the usual swimming lesson, and made sure we attended the hardware store's sausage sizzle, as it was a school fundraiser.
Monday October 8: There was a Scooby Doo art activity at the shops. It was called Scooby Doo because the "man" himself made a brief appearance; the activity (painting plaster thingies) was not related at all. But it was fun and the boys wore their art smocks in public! First pic is Fred pointing ... "Help! The monsters are coming!"
Wednesday October 10: Today the boys tried Tae Kwon Do. They were a bit scared of the instructor and the volume of the session, but afterwards we discussed that it is self defence and the loudness encourages kids to be loud if attacked, and the "anger" is training kids to get angry and direct that energy into self defence if attacked. The instructor is not angry, he's just loud and strict. EJ then made a very interesting observation about when he might need to use self defence, and they agreed to try another session on Friday. The instructor is only loud and strict during the lesson; afterwards he was all smiles and chats and lollipops. They also have hockey and tennis coming up this week.
Oh, and I sold a house.
