Laid back week

It has been a laid back week so far, although today lots of work got done despite of that. Yesterday was devoted to meeting up with old friends, and today got off to a slow start, when another friend popped in briefly, alhamdulillah!
The boys have been getting on with some creative writing and reading, reading, reading as usual, alhamdulillah. We've been doing some more chemistry from the Gravitas book. They enjoy using that book, it presents things in just the right way, to be interesting without being overwhelming.
Ia and U have been continuing a game of making characters and their homes/furniture/clubhouses out of paper cut outs. There are snippets of paper everywhere. As soon as I clear it, more falls. In between installments of this epic saga Ia has fitted in her daily basics, developed a keen interest in fish and worked on a new lapbook project. U has taken to writing her own daily task list on the spaces on the sheet. She decides what it is and she ticks it off when it is done. Suits me!
