Swimming season is open!
First swim of the season, happy children and many more swims to come.
Addy even braved the chilly water to show off some of his new swimming skills.
Warming up after some cold water
Sharing science
Grace was a showing Ian the venation of a leaf. She’s been very excited to look at the leaves under a microscope.
Water Addy
Watering the garden is always fun (especially with collected rainwater)
Grace’s beanie
Grace has been knitting away to make her first beanie! With some help from Granny she was able to finish it off. I think it is brilliant what she has been able to do on her own and how much the quality of her knitting has progressed.
Adam’s rainbow party
Adam turned two today and we celebrated with a rainbow colours party
The day started off with some gifts – a helmet from us, a puzzle book from Granny, and a tape measure from Grace and Eli. He was very chuffed with the tape measure. He also got some rings and a trapeze bar for the jungle gym and garden.
Another highlight for him was the helium balloons which miraculously survived being carried around outside by a variety of children.
Eli was anxious for the friends to arrive – he had his lookout spot at the gate
Some wonderful friends joined us to celebrate
A rainbow party means a rainbow cake. Donné fought with this cake yesterday, but in the end it was delicious and the colours looked amazing.
And rainbow jellies which we all had fun making together
Singing happy birthday
Lots of love from his siblings
And a cute photo of George
A happy Sunday celebrating Adam, who is so full of life and energy, and relaxing with great friends.
Goggles & Lego
Eli has decided that everything looks better in green now that he has his new goggles.
Some brother Lego building fun
I’m innocent
Doesn’t this face just say, “I’m innocent”? You would never guess what he had done just by looking at it.
Addy climbs
Adam likes to climb, so with the steps into the tree it’s up he goes (with a little assistance)
Stroll
Sunday, after the camp, was chill time before the week began, including a walk down the to the park.
Ready for a Sunday afternoon walk
