One of those perfect unplanned days

Today started off with no plans and we were just relaxing around the house doing not a lot of anything.

I then recalled that the local Waldorf school was having it's Harvest Fair, so we took a walk down to that for a few hours. The kids watched a puppet show, had a gelato and wanted to go on a horse ride. Whenever there are horse rides, Nathan wants to have a ride. So we queued up for ages, Danielle finally got bored after about 15mins of waiting and Simon and her wandered off to find something else to do while Nathan continued to wait very patiently. So he had his ride and thoroughly enjoyed it.

(A pic of Danielle waiting with her riding hat on all ready to go - but the wait was just too long which was a shame since it's the first time she's been really keen to have a go).

Nathan had heaps of fun in the garden this afternoon while we were digging up a grassed area to plant some herbs. He discovered plenty of bugs in the soil and attached to the wood that was removed. He found a centipede that entertained him for a while (fortunately the little ones are harmless!).


Both kids then got right into helping plant the plants, we talked about the compost we've made from all our vege scraps over the past year, why we put compost in the hole before the plant, how to tease out the roots of the plant, filling the hole and watering it.


Yesterday, the kids and I just hung out at home before heading over to friends for dinner.

Nathan had me pose with his "bouquet of flowers" he made for great-nana since real flowers set off her asthma. (ignore my triple chin lol).
