Football Fun

Flynn has been playing Saturday morning football (soccer) this spring season. He has really enjoyed it though some of the weather in early spring was absolutely frigid!

 

 

Flynn takes a moment to get into the football headspace

 

 

 

 

 

Getting hydrated

Then into the action!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A moment's rest between the goal posts

Benjy's Birthday

Benjy was three in May and had a week of birthday celebrations as Blake was away for work on the actual day.

The celebrations started with some of his presents on May 17.

 

 

 

The boys appreciate the Ellis's artwork

 

 

And presents!

 

 

 

A boy can never have too many cars

 

 

 

Benjy loved opening his overseas parcels

 

 

 

Hey a nightlight cuddly toy!

 

 

 

Benjy does his fierce lion impression

I think they're having a good time

 

 

 

 

Later that morning, it's time for making birthday cake number 1.

 

 

 

 

The boys split up the baking - with Flynn doing the wet ingredients and Benjy doing the dry. Then both helping to lick the bowl clean.

 

 

 

 

Then an afternoon at the zoo

 

 

 

We had a lovely day, but there's more to come. Stay tuned for the birthday party blog...

 

 

 

Blake's Birthday!

In April it was Blake's birthday, and as he was heading away for work that night we had a breakfast celebration. The boys didn't seem to mind having cake for breakfast.

 

 

The culinary masterpiece, made by the boys themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also in April, Blake decided to commemorate ANZAC day by planting some poppy plants with the boys.

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately the huge and voracious slugs we have here ate the plants down to the ground. But we have now laid down slug pellets and are hoping for a recovery.
