Peaceful Thursday

We had a really lovely day today.

Nathan seems to be going through a morbid stage at the moment and really trying to make sense of death.

He started off building himself a coffin out of couch cushions.

We then headed off to the garden and pottered around. We pulled weeds and chatted. Nathan started to talk about Milly (the dead chicken) again and was wondering what would happen if we buried her when she was still alive. So I explained that Simon and I knew she was dead because she wasn't moving, wasn't breathing and her body had rigor mortis. That then led to more questions. He then did a bit of math by using our many pets (chickens, dog and fish) as counting examples (and poor old Milly featured as a subtraction example).

We discovered our vege box had been delivered while down in the garden, so the kids got all excited unpacking that and scoffing feijoas that arrived and Nathan was inspired to make a person picture using vegetables and fruit (the corn is a mouth - and it's a boy ;))

Nathan pulled out the playstation for a 1/2 hr and then requested to bake some muffins. So we got those started and ate lunch while they were cooking.

Nathan wanted to go off for a bike ride, so we went and ran a few errands before going for a leisurely bike ride/walk and play at the park.

Danielle and I discovered our reflections in a stream as she was peering over the side.

We came home and hung out in the garden again, played memory and waited for dad to arrive home.
