February 2016

The kids got some Star Wars costumes from their Dad this month and there have been innumerable light saber battles all over the house. Here is a sith, photo bombing a picture of our movie room! 


Caden wrote an impromptu thank you note on behalf of himself and Miles to his friend Megan in England for his heart photo frame with a photo of her and Arthur in. They both treasure their photos and keep them next to their beds in their rooms. 


Did I already post about this one? I can't remember, Bella and Caden woke me up one morning with a list of countries they want to visit. I hope that Africa is less volatile by the time they decide to make their way right through the heart of it. But the love of maps and geography is coming along nicely :) 


Caden and Bella's art class is going well. This week they made silver foil art. They are both really loving it. Caden said he wants to start his own business making foil, fish pictures for people's bathrooms. He already offered to sell his Dad a hundred at a good price so that his Dad can sell them on to his friends for a profit! Nice business model  haha! 


Bella in the back of the car with hers! 


The boys have been getting along much better. There were lots of inevitable clashes last year but Jan and I have been working on creating happy bonds between the kids and it is working. Caden and Bella are very close and Marc and Miles are best buddies now! 


They have had dinner with friends and our friends base is improving in France now so we hope that they can make these friendships strong and lasting. 


Cheeky Miles! He has really improved a lot over the last year. He is very happy and settled!


Our newest addition to the farm! Caden and I watched him arrive, the calves loved it! They all crowded around him as he walked off down the field in search of the laydeez!


At their art class, Caden made a two headed dragon! 


Bella made a tiger model! 


This is Evie's horse (their friend who attends the class with them - Evie, not the horse). 


Caden's attempts at sketching faces is really coming along... 


Caden's painting. 


Bella's robot. 


One day we saw this interesting shadow on the wall so Caden and I put some paper against the wall and drew the outline of the shadow onto the paper. 


Caden started drawing a city into the space that was created by the line. He is seeing creative opportunities in his environment.



I finally got their playstation working and they have been playing Disney Infinity. They all took turns. 



Caden teaches Marc how to play. 



We are making plans for the future for camping holidays and our wedding later this year which the kids are really excited about.
