The weather is fine and we've been busy.
We began the weekend with our usual trip to
Yandina markets for our fruit and vegetables.
The first stall the boys headed toward sold these knights. Yes, plastic,
but second hand and very them right now.
They turned out to be the best purchase of the day!
Every time I stopped to chat to someone...the jousting knights came out
and my little ones entertained themselves happily.
As the weekend has gone on actually, I have become very grateful
that my boys discovered these little fellows. (And they are too!)

| Oatmeal Crunch Biscuits |
We came home and baked biscuits to have with cups of tea (a bit of a new tradition).
Then headed out into the garden with our newest seedlings.
Little Pipkin insisted on adding some new compost to the pots.
I know he scooped up some of the surrounding decomposing leaves in the process. However, this was completely fine. I am all about encouraging their interest in gardening.
Mr Turtle sang a little song, he made up as he went along.
The words were sweet. About growing our own food instead of buying it.
While we were planting, we sowed a few more pak choi seeds
from those we saved last year.
For dinner Saturday, I made a yummy salad
with some of our purchases from the morning.
And today, Sunday, the morning began
with a welcome surprise visit by my Sister's family.
The cousins played Bear Hunt.
Singing the whole story, three times over,
so that they each had a chance to be the bear hiding in the cave.

You can see the grass (green playcloth), the mud (brown playcloth)
and forest (chairs and cloths). |
Lots of colour, cuddles, dancing and smiles!
Followed by a play in the wonderful playground in Pomona, before heading home for a restful afternoon... crafting, colouring and doing puzzles.
We never know how our weekends will turn out.
They often are bountiful, and surprise us.
How was yours?
