Love this poster eli made for me for 'passing my spelling lessons' (he was te teacher!) lol! It says "Congratulations you have done great. Next level you will be learning words and alphabetical order". Love how he writes alfbtgl ordr.

Nice weather?

What was the last post where I commented on the nice weather?!!

It's still warm and sunny yay :-)

The kids are loving living right beside the park. We are here bike riding every day and today immy rode her horse lol! We are enjoying a fantastic November so far it's been nice and sunny. I'm sure it won't last so we're definitely making the most of it!

Reading

All of a sudden I find Eli reading all the time. We've been getting solar system books out of library, pretty much every single book on planets that they have as he is so into it and he will curl up in bed and read it all on his own! (And then come down every five seconds to tell us a new fact lol but that's a whol e 'nother story!)

Last day at Rathtrevor

Rathtrevor is one of our most favourite places on the Island. When we moved to Nanaimo in 2007 we rented a condo on the beach for 3 months. It was an amazing place to live. Eli was just 14 months old when we arrived and him and I were mostly home with no car while we lived there, but we were never bored! We walked through the park and played on the beach every day. It's a place that we have gone to many, many times since. During the winter for a freezing cold walk along the beach and during the summer to spend the day playing at the beach.

We like to do something fun on the day that school starts again. (Homeschoolers refer to it as 'not' back to school day!) This day was busy packing to move to Ontario but we managed to get out of the house for a picnic dinner, bike ride and play at the beach.  We didn't know it would be the last time we went there at the time but it was a perfect last visit.
