The first week of school is over and Florence is having a great time. Yesterday she had to explain the maths to her classmates as she was the only one to understand. Eben keeps telling us hes been naughty but the teacher says it just hard at times to keep 8 little ones all concentrating on the same things at the same time. There are 5 children in Ebens year this year, last year he was the only one most of the time.
This morning all 3 are up stairs playing and several toys seem to have died and are to be thrown in the fire water. Eben is keen on the idea of death at the momment and told me that if I touched his music powpow then I'd be dead. What a charmer!
We have ordered wood for the winter and now are looking for a decent wood burning stove the one we had last year wasn't very good and we had two chimney fires with it. Its a Godin colonial and looks fantastic but doesn't heat enough for the size of the room. We nearly bought a Godin chatelaine cooker but it was damaged so we are back to square one. Last night we ate tartiflette with Maurice and Jacqueline it was lovely but hopefully not a sign that winter will be here early.
