Day 73

24th February 2022

Captain Rex

Phase 2, Captain Rex – Clone Wars Series

He finished it!

Lincoln is SO PROUD of this helmet. 😍😍😍

I had to make him take it off to eat dinner. He was trying to fit his spoon under the helmet and slopping food everywhere. 😂

This afternoon he said,

“What is life, without craft?!”

Mila finished her apple too!

They have already chosen their next projects. Mila’s going to make a horse head from her favourite show Spirit, and Lincoln’s begun a new helmet. He’s very impressed that he doesn’t need a template for this one.

He’s gone rogue!

Hydro Dipping

It’s official.

Liam is the cool parent. 😂

Hydro dipping is when you spray colours onto water and then slowly dip the product into the water. The paint wraps around the product and sticks.

Lincoln did his mouse and Dad’s phone cover, and Mila dipped her sewing box. 🙂

Liam said they LOVED it.

They used a clean laundry tub, and not an old bucket in the shed. Hmmmm 🤨

I mean, it is pretty cool.

English/Maths

They spent the afternoon doing English & math’s.

Liam is the math’s teacher. He has a natural math’s brain.

He’s so good at it! I love coming home from work and hearing them tell me what they learnt.

They’re learning so much. One on one learning is the best!

English & cuddles! (Note the unicorn teddy also on the sofa. It’s become the Where’s Wally in our world).

Mila’s working on a story called ‘Fox Girl’.

Charging through math’s.

Sleep

I slept like a log last night. 😴

I felt so much better when I woke up, and then felt crappy for being so cranky yesterday. 😔

I should have taken them to the movies and fallen asleep in the dark over airconditioned cinema. I could have taken a blanket. Mila usually makes me. Then I could have slept it off. Tired, grouchy mama. ☹️

Anyway, they gave me lots of cuddles this afternoon and were so excited to show me their finished projects.

Tomorrow, farm day!!

Liam is going to spend the day at the farm and do some forging.

The kids are beyond excited!
