Tristan has finished his studying for the moment (and passed, with an amazing 91%) so now it is my turn to focus on my studies. So on Saturdays the boys have Daddy days, they have been helping him do the morning log deliveries and then go off and have a picnic somewhere.
Here is some photos from the other week. They went to Durgan beach, which is a beautiful, calm cove/bay on the Helford Passage. The boys played for ages with a few pine needles and a couple of stones. Their imaginative play is amazing at the moment, they get lost for what seems like hours with little people made from whatever is lying around (pine needles, bits of driftwood)
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.

Other bits
| Autumn / Harvest activities, apple collage with pulses. Rowan loved the sounds the different grains made on the thick paper |
| We were given bubble machine. This was the last day of short wearing this year! |
| Rowan has started to draw faces, people and things. this one is Daddy |
| Daddy is now complete with glasses and tickles on his chin! |
| Woodland Imp! |
| Potion making in the woods |
| tree climbing |
| Broomstick making |
| Rowan has gone from not wanting to climb trees at all, to climbing everyone he sees! |
| and this little pixie, can you see the look in his eyes, mischief was brewing! |
| Very muddy mischief! |
| Our halloween jack-o-lantern |
| The boys dressed up for freinds halloween bonfire. Unfortunaltey there were two boys who were dressed up really freakily and poor Reuben was a bit spun out for the whole of the next week! |
| Bonfire and fire sprites |
Follow the Leader to London Town
Crikey! I haven't been on here for ages!
Well a lot has happened, I think I will do a quick recap and let the photos do the rest. Rowan recovered from his first bout of pneumonia, only to get it again a couple of weeks ago, lets hope thats it now! October continued to be quite mild and we enjoyed some really beautiful weather.
We went to London for a long weekend, Tris had an exam to take and I was attending a breastfeeding conference in the same week, so we all went up and had a great time. The boys were so excited just to be going on a train to London Town! The train that we see go through town is usually going to London and one of their favourite songs is, follow my leader to London town.
The Natural History museum was a great hit with the boys, although Rowan would like to go back all the time! We also went to Kew Gardens, which was just lovely, although one of the playgrounds was a wee bit bonkers as it was half term!
Here we go with the photos, its a bit of a mammoth session, I'm afraid :)
