June 20-26

I realize that I haven't posted many of H's maps from the MTWWA.. We were talking about it the other day and H has requested a break from the curriculum as she is finding it a bit too challenging and not really fun, especially the map drawings. I agree that some of them are difficult, even I find them hard at times, so we'll put it aside for a while (H recommends two years!). Here are the rest of her maps:
the Nile River

Greece

Italy

I really think she's done well with these maps, but if it's not fun then there is no point in continuing with it now.
Fingers crossed that she'll be ready for it again next year. If not I might just draw all the maps myself because I think it's great!

We had a very social week this week with friends visiting, including a lovely 10 week old baby who is the latest addition to mother's group. We watched our friends perform in a french play of Snow White and also attended an entertaining performance of The Baron and the Widow by the Australian Ballet at the State Theatre.
The weekend  was spent at lunch with friends and then an attempted sleepover by the girls, but at 9pm we got the teary phone call to come pick them up.  To make up for that R suggested having a party on Sunday, so we all got up early, decorated the house with streamers, baked cupcakes, pancakes, pikelets, popcorn, got out the veges and dips, made juice and played pass the parcel and Chinese Whispers. Then we were given tickets to a Scout/Guide Gang Show for that afternoon which was brilliant and really was the icing on the party cake!
