Its been a busy two weeks here. I always find it surprising that even though Rowan is home educated and Reuben only goes to preschool two days a week, the school holidays are so busy! There is just so much to do that I find myself craving the usual weekly routine back. But we have had fun anyway....

| Easter crafts, making this years easter baskets |
We went to Truro for a free easter egg hunt in the park, but missed it. The boys weren't that upset as the bouncy castle was free! After a picnic in the park, we headed into the city for a look around. We had no money or desire to shop and instead found loads of free stuff, easter bunnies from one shop bouncing around town giving out carrots to the children (to leave out for the easter bunny, but both Rowan and Reuben promptly ate theirs!) We found a lady with a big plastic cow that could be decorated and best of all the cathedral had a free childrens easter trail and crafts. The boys loved it. We found all the bits on the trail, Rowan was especially good at finding things. Reuben got a bit freaked out by some very dark Easter story paintings in an exhibition. And they both made a cross at the craft table. Rowan is really into God and Jesus at the moment, it seems the Easter story has really made an impact on him. This had led to much discussion over the last few days.

| Please excuse my rubbish camera and very blurry stars, but this was such a beautiful night I just had to try. Tris took the boys up to Carn Brea to do some star gazing on Saturday night of Easter weekend |

We also went to see Marks Ark, a man who shows off his collection of creatures, including bird eating spiders, a barn owl, a millipede and a python. Rowan and Reuben both sat right at the front putting up their hands and answering nearly every question, they loved it.
 |
| Reuben held the bird eating spider, 'it tickles' he said |
 |
| And they both held the python |
 |
| I must admit at this point I was finding it hard to hold back my fears |
And last of all this week, we visited a local farm for a walk, baby animal spotting and some cake
 |
| Very cute lambs, they were just sooo cuddly looking |
 |
| Boys and sticks, what more can I say? |
 |
| This farm is famous for its very hearty portions of cake, this is one slice! |
 |
| And this is two very happy boys! |
