Bonfire at the farm

Sunday we took a trip to Minter Gardens. It was a perfect day for it; not too hot, sunny, and not too busy!

Tink was especially drawn to the pink flowers. Too bad this picture is so fuzzy. But you can see her funny face anyway.

Both kids brought their cameras for the trip (I'll be downloading and posting David's pictures sometime soon!)



These tulips were just gorgeous. I'm so planting tulips this fall. I can't believe I've never done it before!

Poor David just wanted to take a nap. Elisabeth was NOT letting that happen.

But he just used her as a pillow.





All over the park there were all sorts of new features/rearranging. The kids' section was no exception. They've got these great thrones in the shed. See?


Love the expression on Elisabeth's face here:



Davey: Marry me?
Elisabeth: No way!

Davey: Oh come on...
Elisabeth: Get lost!

Davey: Come back! We're at the wedding chapel.
Elisabeth: Go away boy. You've got cooties.

Davey: STOP!

Elisabeth: You can't make me. I'm outta here!

And off she ran.

We went to Minter Gardens today. We have lots of great pictures but mummy's going to sleep now, upload later. Check out what else we've been up to this week in the meantime though...

At the Junkyard with Daddy

Daddy and the kids got a new mirror for our car (ours fell off while we were shopping at Home Depot last weekend...long story). We're so blessed to have a handyman who can fix things like that...and do it while mummy enjoys coffee with her bestest writing group!

On our balcony

When the weather turns nice, our family pretty much moves outside. In this house that means we spend a lot of time on our balcony. It's nice there. Plus it's where we keep the bbq.


We really like to be surrounded by growing things. This side is the flowers:

And this is our salsa garden. Tomatoes and peppers. MNNNNNNNN.

And cute kids. We like to be surrounded by cute, happy kids.

And delicious, summery food. Like curry glazed chicken and mango avacado salad.


Sometimes we even let the grumpy kids sit on the balcony.

Just an average day at our house...

On any given day you might find us watering our new plants.

Or relaxing by the pool.

One or more of us will probably have fallen over and need some hugs, popsicles and bandaids.

You might even find us planting a tree or two.

Cause it's almost summer and that's "totally wicked!"
