Today is…Wednesday August 17 2011
It seems that getting back into routine includes a favourite pass-time…
…Reading! The boys love reading to themselves in the morning:
This morning in particular though, the boys claimed they were sick.
Too sick to go swimming. I’m not sure if this had something to do with mommy dragging them to the pool last night so Ettin could practice listening to his teacher (he’d sat the Tuesday morning class out, refusing to get in the pool). It was rather cold last night. Galoot didn’t stop shivering until we got home!
So sick, or just sick of swimming (though they didn’t want to swim even when I explained that sick boys don’t eat candy or watch movies or do anything fun. Sick boys just sleep so they can get better…), they stayed home a read a whole heap of books:
And, because I didn’t want them to miss out on swimming just because the were a little sick, we practiced blowing bubbles and putting our heads in the water in the bath:
Oh, and I’d had some tutaledge from my Hubby on programming sensors. It is pretty simple, actually. I was just not confident enough to do what I thought I should do!
The light sensor sensed!
Very cool!
Since it sensed light and dark colours, we experimented what it would see on our pictures. I told it to play a note high or low depending on whether it saw light or dark colours respectively:
Even Ettin was up to play:
…and then Galoot woke up. Which pretty much ends robot time around here.
Outside mommy played in her garden and boys learned about shelling peas:
