The beans get watered

Monday 30th November: Cold and rainy all day. High of 11 degrees.
In the morning Steve went off to Timaru to look for a second car for us and Mum and Dad set off on the next stage of their adventure. In the meantime the boys and I were schooling, and kept the logburner alight all day to keep us warm.
We started our Advent Study today. We did this last year and really enjoyed it, and the boys were really informed about and prepared for Christmas when we got to it. Some kind homeschool mum in the US prepared it, and made it free to access for anyone that wants to use it, so that's even better! We also started a week's activities around the "Cat in the Hat" story, did some maths and some computer studies.
After lunch the boys did some computer games and car racing while I cooked tea. Steve returned from his car hunt and I took Peter and Jonathan to gymnastics. When we got back Edward was having tea, and I fed the lambs and then rushed him down to Cubs. I picked up some shopping, drove home and read bedtime stories to Jonathan and Peter and returned to collect Edward from Cubs. He received three badges this evening so I sewed them on once he had gone to bed.
Steve and I watched the film "Inside Man" while I did some knitting.
