We are me; Mummy, otherwise known as Michelle, Big chickpea; Daddy, otherwise known as Tristan, Medium chickpea; Rowan and Baby chickpea Reuben. This blog was started as I thought I was starting to loose track of all the amazing day to day things my children learn and how we grow as a family. It is also here to keep family and friends up to date with our adventure of moving our life from the UK to Australia.

My week in smiles

Not taken many photos, but thought I'd share some sparkly good moments that have stuck in my head;

Finished building shelves in the wardrobe in the spare room to keep all crafting kit nice and tidy.

Rowan went to his pre school and came home in the same trousers!  And felt secure enough to have a nap.



Rowans 'shop' is slowly getting more stock in it and he is getting really good at adding things up now.

We have decided that we are getting chickens and plan to get ex battery ones.  Have sort of decided on an area in the garden, now need to work on a house for them.

Went for a really long walk down the tramway on our last day of sun with the boys on their bikes, met the lovely skinny horse that Reuben is in love with, then had a noesy into someones garden to look at their chicken house.  (Rowan is getting very excited about it and has decided that the house will have blue walls, yellow windows, and green roof and red and yellow ramps!)



Put some potatoes in for chitting, and planted some seeds; Courgette, Peas, Coriander and Melissa. 


Making breadsticks (Rowan wanted breadsticks 'like the lady at the home ed group made!')


The breadsticks were nothing like Liz's and I also left the in a bit too long, they were very crunchy, they would have good for a teething baby!

Rowan watching the rain and commenting 'The rain falls down from the sky, then hits the ground and goes along.  Then it goes back up into the sky and falls down again later'.  How amazing it is to watch a child learn things all by themselves.



Dressing up always popular in this house.   Rowan was putting his washing in whilst being a flaminco fireman!  He then fell asleep on the hallway floor in his lovely dress!

Making dyed eggs at the home ed group this afternoon.

Reclaiming some space for a season shelf.


My knitting basket. 
When the boys are tucked up in bed and all chores are done, its time to put my feet up with a cup of Chamomile tea and relax in front of the fire with my knitting.
