Having some fun with the Bradshaws in their castle treehouse (thanks to John for this photo)

Grace and Diya played beautifully together today. Before today they haven’t really played much at all, but today they seemed to have loads of fun with each other.

Grace loves a story, and so Donné was telling her about what had happened while she was away at school. Donné told her a long story about how Eli had stepped in poo in the garden, and then gotten it onto his hand, and that while she was washing his hands she couldn’t figure out why the smell wasn’t going away, and then she realised there was poo on his foot, which meant she had poo on her clothes, and that’s the reason she was wearing different clothes.

Grace listens intently and asks questions along the way. When Donné finished Grace says, “So, while I was at school having lots of fun and playing, you were at home having a smelly day.”

Eli goes everywhere with his phone…even to the potty

We had a lovely relaxed Easter – yummy lunch with Keren and Nick, cinnamon rolls and tea with the Fredricks’, and an Easter egg hunt.

Grace and Eli had a mini Easter egg hunt when they woke up this morning, and the first thing that everyone in the house ate this morning was a chocolate egg.

Donné, Grace and Eli baked a delicious cake for us to share for afternoon tea on a relaxing Good Friday
