weekend home-ed

we’ve had a good weekend here, with lots of home ed activity – maths, reading, piano, story of the world, hama and fimo.

SB made a particularly good fimo baby and fimo teddy holding their arms out to each other. If I had a camera…

the new webland and BBC Jam both got quite a good runaround. we must move up to the 5-7, and consider subscribing to education city now.

BB had her first haircut – I trimmed her fringe, and it looks much better now she can see again.

Both girls had great fun running madly between the different windows to try and get the best view of everybodies fireworks. the rich houses the otherside of the church put on a particularly good display last night.

BB was taught how to say open sesame, and has ejoyed that. Her language is lovely at the moment. I do love this age.

We had a very long philosophical discussion starting from the ‘lord of the dance’ hymn. She still thinks its a settee though. Actually it carried on from earlier discussions about greek gods from story of the world. Her religion still appears to be fairies. I don’t think she has quite got the concept, particularly as she coudn’t understand why the Christian God doesn’t have a name. [? Dwayne?] as the greek ones did. Pointing out there was lots of them, so they needed their own didn’t cut the mustard.

BB and SB have played beautifully together most of the weekend without too much fuss.

umm, there were a few things I wanted to blog, and have lost them. Maybe when I remember?

  1. I like the idea of a fairies religion, I can think of several small girls who would convert instantly ;)

  2. Dwayne! pmsl …

  3. … and yes, you need a camera for at least two of your blogged things today!

  4. Yes, so can i!

    Btw Helen; re the plans for that important evening – have asked and got the thumbs up :)

  5. well sarah, am struggling with camera less living – oh, and we were face painted all day, even BB had flowers on one cheek.

    good-oh Merry. will diarise and inform him of no memory in triplicate!!

  6. Jehovah? Yahweh? Jewish rather than Christian I guess.

  7. giggle at the Dance settee….

  8. isn’t Yahweh just God in Hebrew? not so sure, but thought the hebrew god also wasn’t to have a spoken name – or something?

  9. I think that’s the point – it’s God with a big G c.f. gods with a small g.

    There are loads of derived names e.g. Jehovah Jireh (the Lord provides, I think) plus other role / image -based names like Word, Helper, Rock, Lamb etc.

    Dwayne does sound more chav-tastic. At least a disciple or important follower, so that there could be a Gospel according to Dwayne, or an epistle to the Dwaynians.
