Lyndon Station - Art Day {Visiting}

Before we left Lyndon for the last time, last time, there was talk of Hannah holding another Art Day.  We did one with her earlier this year and the smalls had a wonderful time & learnt some much so I asked them to let me know when the next one would be.

We got the call and he smalls and I made the drive down after school on Tuesday, ready for a full day of Art Wednesday.

Yet again Hannah did a wonderful job with a day based on printing and stamping. The smalls had a great time and so did I.

All to soon it was buy again, after a quick 24 hours back at Lyndon. 

Back to Wyloo we headed.

A year today {Reflection}

A year ago today we hooked up the camper trailer and hit the road.

A year ago today we started the adventure of a life time.

A year ago today we changed our lifestyle for the better.

A yer ago today we embarked on adventure that would change us all, in many ways.

I can't believe that in 12 months we have traveled the more than 25,000 kms, have been to more places than I can imagine, meet people we wouldn't have had it to been for this new life style, seen so many things that other people could only dream of and more importantly spent true quality time together as a family.

We have done all of this and are still yet to leave our home state of Western Australia and it doesn't look like happening anytime in the near future, but that is alright because we have no plans and no body standing in our way.

So here is to the next 12 months{at least}, to everything that we are yet to discover and everything we are yet learn.

Useful school links

I've been a little quiet in the school front, am having an internal conflict with our choice and if it is really working for us {or more importantly for the children}. 2012 is the year of seeing what happens, I have made a commitment to see out the rest of this year with SIDE and see if things improve, then make a decision for 2013.

Regardless of that I would share some links that I have found useful and that have given some much needed additional information, especially for Kyla.

Alphabet tracing pages, shape recognition

I discovered most of these originally by looking at Pintrest. It is a great site for ideas, not just school related by anything really {although I've not looked at it since we started traveling as I have just not had the time}. Before we left Perth I laminated a heap of the ones I found so that they could be reused and also so that they last longer.

Take a look there is always something new being added.
