The Adventures of Max and George (and now Ruby): Hens' teeth, Ravioli, Shahnaz Vocal School

Sometimes Max and George walk Sooty the dog before school.

Here's George with his school bag on, ready to go.

Living right next to school means that Max can leave at the last minute and he should get home right after the bell rings at 3.30.

Here is Max about to get jumped on by Lachy.

One day Lachy and Riley's chooks escaped and came over to visit us. Everybody had to catch the chooks before they got away!

That was when I was informed by Max that hens do actually have teeth, "they just don't like to show you".

When they're not chasing chickens they chase the dog. It's their little game.

The zucchini plant has been getting rotten on the ends before the zucchini reach full size.

It could be just the wet weather this summer, or it could be caused by lack of calcium in the soil, so we saved our eggshells (= calcium) and here's George crushing them to sprinkle on the dirt.

Max gets homework on Mondays which has to be completed by Thursday.

Here's George at his kindergarten, playing with his friend Isabella and some birds in their habitat.

Remember those little seeds the kids planted? Now they have sprouted into radish plants. One day soon, we're going to have to eat RADISHES.

These are the seeds of a capsicum a.k.a. bell pepper, sprouting in some cotton balls in Max and George's room.

This is an avocado seed, from a fruit we ate back in December. It has been sitting on the windowsill beside George's bed, and just this week it is putting up a shoot.

Beside the avocado are more capsicum seeds, these ones growing in dirt with some weeds as well.

We made our own ravioli from scratch recently. It was a group effort.

Here's Max using a paintbrush to paint water on the ravioli so they will stick when we fold them up.

George likes a good breakdance, and he said he'd like to try out Aunty Shani's School of Singing and Dancing.

Apart from one spectacular handstand, he just watched the class intently. As a break dancer, he was a little out of his depth in a Bollywood Dance environment.
