TV took the girls out for a rainy walk. They headed down to the pond to see if the frogs were out, but it was a bit too cold. Along the way the girls stopped to race leaves and jump in puddles. It was funny how quickly they had fun despite being reluctant to leave the house. Once home they all jumped into a hot shower and straight into their pyjamas.
The school holidays were coming to an end so it was time to get ready for school again. To do this we needed to clean up the house as it got quite messy with everyone playing at home for two straight weeks. The reality of a couple of weeks of home schooling meant that we wanted to make sure the space had fewer distractions so everyone could focus as best they could.
SV and MV appear to miss travel as they played an imaginative game where they pretended to go on a trip. They packed their bags, made itineraries, made tickets and went on their trip. They must have flown business or first class because they had lay down seats, yikes, high expectations for our next real trip!
We now have a number of lego buildings, enough to make a scene. The girls were keen to play with them and make up their own stories. Each floor of the buildings comes apart and has lots of secrets and other details. The police station was a great source of stories for the girls.
EV has been really enjoying spending time with TV and being his little helper. Since it's cold we have been wearing jackets and hats. She tends to have a preference for animal themed hats.
MV was asked to pack away the shoes and her first step was to empty out the shoe cupboard and lay them all out. She then got a bit of help from EV before putting all the shoes back neatly. She worked through her process and at the end the shoes were nice and tidy.
EV is currently enjoying wearing a good spinning dress. SV used to be the same and MV to some extent as well. This day she put this dress on and twirled on the back porch. She wanted us take a photograph as well and we were more than happy to oblige.
