CONTEMPLATE

Day 278 / 365



I was sitting outside today and had really never noticed these gorgeous berries that are growing above our fence from the neighbours.  The sunlight was filtering through the trees and I realised how beautiful they are.....I have no idea what they are mind you, but then that isn't important, what is important is to notice them in their essence for what they are.

FUN & LAUGHTER

Day 277 / 365



Today I spent the afternoon at an indoor playground.  The kids loved this huge bouncy slide which they spent about an hour climbing up and sliding down.  A slightly technically challenged image due to the poor lighting and their speed on the slide but it shows their joy!!

COOKIES

Day 276 / 365



This afternoon was spent baking lemon biscuits.  Something else from my childhood that I used to make and my children now love because they are put together with jam, iced and topped with sprinkles.

CHILDHOOD GAMES

Day 275 / 365



The kids have started playing hopscotch these holidays, it bought back childhood memories of playing this myself.  It's great how some games just never go out of date and continue from generation to generation.

GARDENING

Day 274 / 365



More outdoor stuff today.  Max decided to do more weeding and Miss A got to hold the weed bucket.  By the time these school holidays are over our yard will be spick and span.

PLANTING

Day 273 / 365



Max decided yesterday he would like to do some gardening so I gave him the job of transplanting several small trees into pots.  He now has 10 trees to look after until they are big enough to sell.

BROAD BEANS

Day 272 / 365



Miss A grew this little broad bean plant at kindy.  We now have it at home....not sure I'm all that excited at the prospect of eating any broad beans though.
