There’s a lot to be excited about this week. A reprieve from the school routine being the biggest driver of the smiles around here.
Last Friday we made the trip to town to collect Andrew from boarding school.
He was very fortunate to have his 12th birthday fall the next day. After indulging in Chocolate Mud Cake at school, with his fellow boarders, he requested Cinnamon Scrolls for his birthday smoko. Nobody complained about his choice …. apart from my waistline!
The older child returning certainly changes the dynamics in our household as the pecking order reestablishes itself.
This occurs amongst a fair bit of noise and jostling although they all tend to conform when food is on the table!
The horses too, seem super excited that holidays are here.
Rob is grateful that Andrew is home and can help his siblings saddle and mount.
It’s a fairly time consuming job doing up girths and legging children into the saddle ….
We haven’t made any big plans for the school holidays, other than being at home training pups, mustering cattle, feeding animals, tending gardens, building fences, cleaning house, riding horses, washing clothes, baking cakes and keeping up with maintenance.
I think everyone is pretty content with days filled doing just that …….
