Feb 12th: It rained all night and kept going all day. The garden is very soggy and muddy and so are the chickens so I moved them on to an area of concrete in the back garden.
After schooling this morning we drove into town to get some heavy shopping, go to the library etc. As often happens we came across two of the other homeschool families there. On the way home we took a detour to drive to some of the many fords around the outskirts of town, and most of them were flooded. If we'd been in the truck (what they call a 4wd here) we'd have gone through for the fun of it, but as I was in Steve's work car I decided it wasn't wise.
Tonight the boys are making pizzas for their tea.
The photo is of the boys at our kitchen table. This is a multi-purpose table - meals, homeschooling, Steve's aeroplane building, craft and painting. In fact it's pretty much in use all the time someone is home. Here the boys are finishing cups of hot chocolate at their mid-morning break. The pieces of orange paper are their spelling lists for the week, and the other sheets are to remind me of placces we need to be that we've seen advertised in town.
