A pretty ordinary day

The day was beautiful, so Nathan requested to go out for a bike ride down to one of the parks. Simon added that he'd like to collect some more pine cones for the fire. Danielle just put in "me too?!". And I pictured a few hours to myself while they went off and had some fun together.

The kids spent the morning drawing pictures and playing out on the deck in the sun - pottering around in the sandpit, playhouse and using various buckets of water from the rain over the past few weeks. They then made their way down to continue on in their mud hole in the garden. After coming in and requesting a bath, they helped Simon out with preparing lunch while I snuck down to do some work in the garden.

After eating lunch out on the deck they headed out to the pine forest for a few hours. Upon their return Nathan proudly announced that he'd done his first (little) jump on his bike.

We then all headed back down to the garden to hang out - moved the chicken's coop, popped some sunflower seeds in the ground, had a play with the push mower, had a swing, bounced on the tramp and general busyness.

At bedtime, Nathan and I recommenced reading Vin Fiz. After a couple of chapters I went to close the book, but he was so into it and requested another chapter, and then another and then another lol before asking to go to sleep.
