7 Quick Takes Friday ( Vol 79)

1
Our dining table is currently an 8-10 seater, an antique I restored at17. (Due for another restoration) Once Bass is seated at the table we will have seriously outgrown the table.  I’m looking for a 12-14 seater but suspect finding a table of this proportion will be nigh impossible, I’m suspecting I shall have to turn my hand to making one.

Talking furniture, I am seeking a cube bookcase, to house our picture books. Most likely another piece of furniture we may have to make, particularly as I want solid timber.

Tracey at Little Men in my Library has posted some great book posts recently; Anzac Day titles, Making Tracks- History Fiction for younger readers and Our Australian Girls  a new series.  We are enjoying lots of these books. Thanks Tracey.

Readers who use Google Reader can choose to mark interesting blog posts as ‘shared’, you can then display your reads on your blog sidebar as ‘shared items.’  I love it when my favourite blogs display their shared items, introducing me to some great posts.

We’ve recently discovered the need for apologetics, using the Friendly Defender Cards as conversation starters as the dinner table has been an easy way to meet this need.

Science is receiving a big focus here at present, most of the children are keen to learn the Periodic Table song,
watching videos on the elements and younger ones enjoying Steve Spangler’s videos.

An exciting package arrived yesterday, One Year Adventure Novel. The children watched the DVD at 6pm as soon as they opened the package and began writing:)!  Today without any prompting the DVD was watched again and yet more writing:):)
