Finding things in the garden

it really does feel like Spring now ... the weather is warmer, there are new birds in the back yard, the weeds are growing :-) ... we also found some bugs while pulling weeds ... Bethany being brave enough to hold the worm for ages, and Josh managing to be gentle enough that these might have survived their examination ...

Bethany

Bethany has been doing lots of drawings and story making lately ... but, in the middle of all this she took the time to build with the pens ...

pies pies and more pies

A classic Kiwi bacon and egg pie ... Chris made this - it was so good!

Josh wanted to make his own pumpkin pie, and because we had cheated and started off with a bought pie shell that came with another shell we made an apple crumble pie too ...

unlocking ALL the colours

Rocketry Class

today the rockets that we've been building over the last few weeks are ready to fly!

Clear the blast area!

Blast off...

Oh oh ... this rocket went so very high, and at enough of an angle that it landed on the other side of the canal !!

orange everywhere

everything was orange for Josh today ... clothes, toys and food!!

we blended carrots, and an orange together with peanut butter (technically not orange in colour, but, tasty and filling!) adding a little olive oil and orange juice to round out this orange blend for lunch...
