We parked up last night in an industrial area so there was no lovely view this morning. I was still going to take a photo but I drove off before I remembered to.
The spot is quiet overnight and we feel out of the way and not disturbing anyone. At about 6am the factories begin to come to life and a big fan starts rumbling but I'm usually awake by then anyway.
We have now driven up to Otahuhu and parked near the library so David can go and do some e-mailing without little boys disturbing him. I'm Currently supervising the boys doing their book work. Jaxon has finished his. He's a bright little spark and was ready to start school work even though he is only 4. Levi is our divergent thinker and his learning style is like none of the other kids so far. He has finally clicked with reading (which is a relief) and he's now going ahead in leaps and bounds. Caleb is methodical and works pretty diligently. I'm really pretty proud of how well the kids are doing. Book work is only one aspect of our home education, I love it when it's completed and they are free to learn in their natural environment. All the kids read and read and read when they are not outside playing. We have computers and a tablet but it's limited with internet as we just use the hot spot on our phones. They still get time to play the odd game though and as soon as we visit friends or grandparents they make up for lost time :)
Today is a quieter day as there are no sporting activities until tonight when Daya has trampoline training. She had her first competition last weekend. She was trying to qualify for nationals and althoug she didn't make it this time, she did come away with a bronze medal for her double mini event. She has another opportunity to qualify in three weeks time.
