Well - it's been the most wild ride of a week we've had in a while and I can't believe that it's not over yet! Cricket Game matches and practices and home schooling outings and school picnics and it just keeps going.
First of all the work I managed in my shortened classes Monday and Tuesday - shortened due to my hubby being away on business for those days:
 |
| The top left you saw before but the others are all new WIPs of Scarlet from Marvel Comics |
I did rotate this however when I posted it - my computer twisted it back!
Wednesday I wanted to try and put some work on my illustration course and picture book work so I sat down with the children and they worked out some of their own illustrations:
 |
| This is a picture of a family baking a cobbler on the left and a picture of swimming at the dam on the right - by Aurion |
 |
| This is a cobbler in a pan with butter and crumble on top - by Kael. |
Then
The Two Oceans Aquarium visit:
 |
| Clowing around with the clown fish |
 |
| Fairies among the clown fish |
This IS only Thursday. I've barely managed to get my blog posted today for all the family activity. I really hope there is time and energy left this weekend in between all the sport till to come!
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.

Beautiful drawing, Melissa! It can be hard to balance everything in the ebb and flow of family life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather! The challenge of the balance is something I've learned to get serious about. It's my current focus actually. A friend of mine is getting ready for the arrival of her first baby and she's searching for how to balance her needs with the child's. I promised her I'd take notes on my process. :-)
