A bit of a catch up

The last few weeks seem to have flown by, with trying to getting the garden ready for planting, getting the chicken run ready for the new arrivals, trying to de-clutter the house, Rowans trip to hospital and just everyday busy life, I feel like I have not stopped I haven't even taken many photos.  Oh well spring always seems to have a busy-ing effect on me. 

I wanted to finish my Morocco posts before putting up anything else, but they will have to wait for a bit.

Here is a catch up the last couple of weeks...

Spring flower painting.  these really surprised me actually as Rowan is very reluctant at painting anything, he just likes to paint ramps!  But one day I put a vase of daffodils on the table with green and yellow paint out and he decided to paint himself a daffodil!

And os course, Reuben had to aswell!

Our first batch of cornflour gloop.  Both boys dislike getting their hands sticky, so they were quite hesitant at getting into the gloop, but as the afternoon progressed they would keep coming back to it a little at a time

Rowan had a break from glooping to bring the veggy box in.  The veg box delivery here is a weekly excitment, the boys love going through it to see what we've got this week!

More glooping, this time the dinosaurs have been stuck on planet gloop!

This camelia is right outside the kitchen window, it is lovely to wash the dishes whilst looking at the delicate beautiful blooms

and this furry little fellow was having a wonderful time, completly covered in powdery white pollen.  He was very sleepy and slow.

Bike washing

And bike riding, after bike washing of course!

Reuben kept going back and forth over this little rut in the ground, the first 2 times he did it, he fell over and really wacked himself, but after a quick Daddy cuddle he got straight back on and would not stop until he had it sussed!  Sheer determination!

And Rowan made us all proud.  He gets very fearful about riding his pedal bike, thinking he can't do it and wanst the security of his balance bike back.  But after telling him I was really rubbish at riding bikes and always fall off, and pointing out that he is really good, he was on it like a shot and rode the whole way.  even deciding to go 'off road' with Daddy on the way back going downhill and doing jumps!
