Mothers Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a day trip to mum and dads at the beach.
the weather was cold and we sat around their large table enjoying lunch together.
as we finished the clouds parted and we managed to get outside, down the beach for a play.
there was running races, walks along the pier, drawing in the sand, hopscotch and lots of laughs.
Happy Mothers Day

Harvey

 

 

friends of ours, little boy had his 6th birthday party today. it was a Lego themed party.
Sam, the mum and i both love cooking and entertaining.... she did a wonderful job.

pancakes

 

my boys love the little dutch pancakes form the markets. the other day when shopping i discovered this pan from here. the pancakes they make are called Ebelskivers.
the boys enjoyed little pancakes for breakfast this morning in front of the fire.

Cider festival

 

 

 

 

the annual Kellybrook winery cider festival was on this weekend.
we spent a few hours enjoying the festivities.

it feels like winter

 

 

a cold , wet, miserable afternoon, saw me in the kitchen cooking....
the fire was on, the boys were happy so i cooked.
roast rib eye, char grilled veggies with basil, potato gratin, pumpkin with cinnamon corriander pine nuts and yoghurt and apple pie for dessert.

planting and sign making

 

slowing down this afternoon after school as it was just us at home.
the boys and i made choc chip cookies for afternoon tea and then we planted some new seeds in the veggie patch.
Archie wrote the signs for the new plants.

practising

 

the sun was shinning this morning so the boys and i headed down to the local school to practise Archie's soccer skills. after running around for an hour or so, i think we were both better at the end.

Lest We Forget

 

 

a fresh batch of warm Anzac Biscuits for morning tea , in fornt of the fire on this cold wet anzac day.
