Week in Review in phone photos

[nanila]

On Monday, I discovered a couple of tiny paintings of Norfolk that I did years ago - each of these canvases is 3” x 3”. The children demanded that they be put up in their room.


On Tuesday, Keiki found a newt in our garden and made friends with it.


On Wednesday, Humuhumu did a freehand drawing of a peacock, inspired by her class trip to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.


On Thursday, I took Humuhumu to her last Rainbows session of the year. There was a water fight and we all got thoroughly soaked. I had brought a change of clothes and a towel for her, so she was fine afterward, but I spent an hour and a half squelching around (and driving home) in wet clothes and this is probably why I’m now ill.


On Friday, Humuhumu and Keiki spent the evening in the garden making homes for wood lice (pill bugs). The sign reads: “These wood lowse have a happy and good home”


On Saturday I discovered some school work I did in late primary school. In particular, this elaborate poster about Hawai’i. I detect a lot of homesickness bound up in it. Especially in the painstaking cutouts of volcanoes and pineapple.


On Sunday, we went for a long walk in the woods with our friends.

those paintings are so neat. I don't blame Humuhumu and Keiki for wanting them put up in their rooms!

Newt!

I like your map. Tracing multiple times around the outlines of things is something I liked at a young age, too.

I hope you feel better soon.

Wonderful set of photos. Love the paintings, map and drawing. I wonder if your naturalist/biologist will eventually work in that field...
