M presented me with these pictures, when I came downstairs for breakfast, which she'd drawn using a book called I Can Draw Dinosaurs.

We also had a chat about how when we're at home what we seem to do most of the time at the moment is play Phase 10 and K & M have a go on the computer and play Moshi Monsters, and how (from my point of view at least) it might be good to try to diversify a bit! They agreed in principle, so we'll see how it goes. We did also go to the 'teenager park' today and talked about how quite a few of the things there work the way they do because of where your centre of gravity is or is moved to.
We also had a conversation about 'Blog' as this particular blog is known and why I do it. M has very definite thoughts about whether things, particularly photos or her or things she has done or made, should go on Blog or not. I told her that I have three main reasons for doing Blog.
1. To keep a record of what we do for us
2. To tell and show family and friends what we do
3. To share ideas of things to do with other home educators
I also pointed out that I get ideas from other peoples blogs, so it's nice to be able to reciprocate. For example, a couple of other things we did today came from blogs.
M & I made some gingernuts.
Both K & M did their first lesson of touch typing from the first link there.
And we've agreed to have a go at Feed Yourself Friday at lunchtime. Both girls are perfectly competent at getting themselves sandwiches (although since we make most of our bread ourselves, either in the breadmaker or my sourdough I do need to slice it for them for now - I do let them have a go occasionally, but we'd only get half a dozen slices from a loaf!) and they get their own breakfast pretty much everyday too. I've already said that they can be a bit more adventurous than sandwiches if they like, but we'll need to do a bit of planning for that to happen.
