Update

So since I last posted, here's some news

• the boys had three more weeks of school holidays, which was mostly hanging out and playing computer games
• they also tidied and decorated the lab, so that it is now a thing of beauty and geekiness (including a motion sensitive welcome sign, and remote controlled colour lighting)
• Callum has had three year 12 maths exams already (2 unit, 3 unit and 4 unit). He did very well relatively (2nd, 3rd and 2nd, I think) but the marks got lower and lower the harder you got
• Declan has started Japanese, which he loves, and has added a friend, Danny, to his group
• The boys took two days off school last week to be filmed for a new ABC TV show called This is me which is a series of 5 minute programs showcasing kids their age and the cool things they do
• Both boys are planning out projects for Young ICT Explorers and the STEM video game challenge this year, probably at least one entry each, and possibly a joint one
• we tried out snorkelling at Balmoral this weekend, and Declan decided he wasn't as terrified as he thought (despite the extreme murkiness)
• we have been looking after Harvey (Martin and Kevin's dog) who has agreed to go for walks with only Declan (having previously only going if Evan went with them).
