Well Term One Minischool is over and we are home refreshed and rejuvenated for our next Unit of school work. I’m feeling a little more refreshed as we have employed the help of a delightful young girl to assist with school (and “preschool”) for the next few weeks. A welcome change for a short while..

The kids are back into the routine of their chores. Chooks to feed, eggs to collect, chickens to move, pigs to hose out. It is all quite exhausting some days………

The few showers of rain last week have spruced the lawn up no end – I’m hoping someone from above is reading my post and would deliver another shower of rain this week, just to keep things fresh prior to the weekend!

There is something about freshly mowed grass………and the cool of the afternoon breeze. The kids are loving soccer at the moment.

With a great bunch of family and friends coming to share Eliza’s Special Day with us, my thoughts have turned to food. I am currently stocking the freezer with cookies. We’ve already used copious amounts of butter and chocolate chips – at last count we have 90 made plus a few “ill shaped” ones for our own consumption.
