Festive Baking

Today we had a real treat because Charlie's mum Belinda came and did some christmas cooking with us. As you may remember from our other baking experiences we have special requirements. Our baking needs to be gluten, dairy and soy free and not have tree nuts in it either.
That ended up being too tricky so we had two batches of truffles:

1. gluten, soy and dairy free
2. tree nut free

I was fortunate enough to sample both varieties and they were both delicious!

Thanks Belinda!

Charlie found time in the holidays to make some creations with Lego. Since making this video, he tells me he has already made some alterations, including some rope. Can you imagine what they might have been?

Dear Spring... Part 3

Dear Spring

Hi Spring, where have you gone? Because it is raining here and it’s very cold. But I want you to know I love you flowers and I especially like the blossoms. Hopefully you come quite soon because I love the very warm sun.

Dear Spring

I hope you bring sun today instead of rain. Cameron is taking me to the gardens. Thanks for the beautiful flowers like daffodils, roses, and apple trees.

Dear Spring

The flowers are amazing when you come in Spring, especially the daffodils. When you come there are calves and lambs, also piglets too. I think to myself, how amazing you are. I love you, I don’t want you to leave.

Dear Spring

I’ve been waiting for you, where have you been dude? Are you going to be warm in November? When is it going to be warm?

From Nate

Dear Spring

I always wonder what it would be like in spring. I thought it would be sunny or hot but it is cold and freezing today. In Spring I see wind blowing trees, and I can’t wait until it is hot. Thank you for the flowers blooming, swooping back and forwards. That is how I remember Spring.

Love from,

Marissa

Dear Spring

Why, sometimes, are you cold? We thank you for our baby animals and pets. I wonder what it would be like is Spring if it was always hot. We always love you Spring, no matter what we say. I love the flowers that you give us like daffodils, snowdrops, blossoms, tulips. These are some of the reasons we love you for.

From Violet

Happy Birthday Charlie R!

We hope you manage to dig up some excitement today!

Have fun being 8!!
