After a bit of reading together in the morning the kids got busy...

While I was still wandering around in my pjs and eating breakfast, they were outside drawing with the chalks... (these are Danielle's ones, I wasn't able to snap Nathan's)

Then onto making paper boats...

 I found a little figurine made of plasticine that Danielle had been working on - a chicken riding on a wagon...

 Then down to our pond to float the boats (needs a bit more water lol)...

 I was making a calendula oil and the kids wanted to make their own as well - so we found some rose petals and lavender for them to infuse.

 They saw me rearranging my herbal supplies and decided to set aside space in each of their rooms for displaying all their special little bits and pieces along with their oil bottles.

In the afternoon we headed off to play with friends, then after dinner off for a play at the park with dad.

A picture of Nathan "posing" with a piece of grass in his mouth "like in the old days mum!"

 And our chickens dust bathing in the kids sandpit...
