Boy's Legion Tues 8 March

Last week Michael learnt about first aid.  In particular he learned to not walk over the patient, and how to not get hit in the nose.  Hmm, he doesn't remember much.  Looks like I need to record this sooner after the event.

My Place 1988 and 1968

We watched two recorded episodes of My Place today.  I read to the boys from an encyclopaedia about Vietnam and Greece, the two cultures featured.  We discussed their climates, primary and secondary industries and their religions.

We also went on the website and played some of the games.  I love the hair do one and had to call my dad about the road rules one.  Very fun!

A Big Deal

Michael has always been afraid of heights, not extreme, but just a good healthy fear.  Yesterday he stretched himself and went on a treetops adventure at Minmi.  He went with a local homeschool group as part of an activity for our teenagers.  Quite often our events are safe for the little ones in the families but not adventurous enough for the bigger kids.  I am glad to see Michael stretching himself and trying new things.

He did only one of the three courses that other kids covered but considering he said he was starting to feel sick being up so high I was encouraged to hear him say  he was willing to go again.  Now that is a good thing!

Cooking lunch

Mike helped me out today by going to the shop and choosing food for lunch that we could cook quickly and cost less than $20.  He chose Garlic flavoured fish pieces and hash browns.  He even cooked them while I was talking to a visitor.  Oh, and of course, he also bought a family block of Cadbury's to share while waiting for the food to cook.
