Wow, over a month since I’ve posted to my poor neglected blog. Time flies.
Anyway, spring has sprung, and we took a trip to the velodrome with the girls after school a couple of days ago. The velodrome is in beautiful condition at the moment. Really looking forward to using it a lot during the summer.
The girls both took the vehicle of their choice – bike for the big girl, and scooter for the little one.
The scooter was fun for a while, then it was more exciting to climb the embankment.
Both had fun.
Last night the kids made lamingtons. Mum helped a bit, but they pretty much did all the work.
Last night’s dinner was home made sausage rolls. Little Girl helped Lisa with them. We found that last season’s coriander has self-seeded in the herb garden and is regrowing, so the girls seasoned the pork mince with coriander and ginger. We ate them with sweet chilli sauce. For some reason there’s not a trace of them left at all.
Our cousin Nathan returned from Japan last week – and he’s off to Melbourne to study again next week, so we had a pretty small window during which we could go visit him at home. Big Girl had been looking forward to seeing him for a while, and really enjoyed the visit. Not sure that Little Girl remembered who he was (she’s 3, and he’s been away for over a year) but had a good time anyway.
They had fun with Adam and Elly as well.
Yesterday was the start of school for the year and the first day of kinder. Big Girl is in grade 4 now, and little girl had her first day of 3YO kinder.
Today little girl made pancakes for breakfast.
And here’s a quick shot I took when we had our day at Ocean Grove a few weeks back. It’s a classic example of a well enjoyed ice-cream.
