Water, water, everywhere
Adam is loving finding water wherever he can. Cat bowls, pool weirs, rainwater on the poolcover – there are just so many places to go looking.
Well, at least he has waders
Book worms
Grace is currently a little bookworm, reading at just about any chance she gets. When she is up early in the morning…maybe I should rephrase that…she is up early every morning and she sits and reads most mornings before breakfast. We went to the library this evening to get some new books, and after supper she sits down and gets reading. I don’t really have a good sense of how long she read for, but there is not usually lots of time between supper and bath time, but today was a bit longer. We were busy with Adam and she says, “I finished the book.” I say to her, “Really?” surprised she was done already, “What was it about?” She then tells me all about how the fairy had a pet horse and Jack Frost wanted a pet and so he stole the horse, but then the fairy told him that you don’t choose a pet, the pet chooses you, and then a swan chose him and he had a pet (although looking at the book, it was actually a snow goose).
The book worms
To give context, here is what the book looks like
This was clearly the look Adam was going for today
Bouncy, bouncy
This is how we calm the children down before bedtime
Bikes & trees
The blessing of a beautiful day meant it was time for a ride in the park, some tree climbing and a little bit of rock throwing along the Lourensford river.
Fun (and not fun) with Diya
We joined the Bradshaws to celebrate Diya’s birthday today, and then later in the day Grace went off to another birthday party – her first one all on her own.
Cupcake decorating
Name painting
Figuring out how to play football together – it is always fun to watch children learn a new skill.
We asked Eli, our poor extrovert, if he had fun at the party. His response, “No I not have fun because we have to leave.” He really didn’t want to leave…he never does.
Sleepy baby
Donné always love to take photos of sleeping babies…probably because sleeping babies are really cute.
Dr Evil
Hahaha mommy! I will dominate your roller towel and crush any resistance like this banana in my hand….hahahaha!
A most unexpected surprise
A courier arrived with a delivery from takealot yesterday, and I was like, “but we didn’t order anything.” Yes, I was right, but there was a surprise birthday gift in there for me.
After some assembly it was time to break in the new gas braai with an American style BBQ. Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful surprise.
Cranky professor
The poor little guy is sick with a congested nose (along with his brother), but still manages to pull off the cranky, crazy professor look.
