A Run in the Sun

Over the last week we have had some of the coldest weather I can remember.  Ohhhh it’s been chilly.  We are blessed with wonderful sunshine most of the year (even in winter).  So when we have some cold miserable weather geezzz we know about it.

But someone was smiling down on us today and the warm sun was back – so lovely.  We took a last minute detour on our way home today to a new park in Springfield.  I have to say I thought Andrew was out of his mind wanting to go to a new park on the Queens Birthday public holiday. Yes the park was packed but how does the saying go ‘the more the merrier’.  There is an awesome water play area….. awesome!!  But we were not prepared for that.  They also have fabulous play equipment and swings.  But what was extra special was  the  amazing grass and garden pyramids, steep hills and great big steps.  Just perfect for climbing, jumping  and rolling.  Ben (and Andrew) had the best time!  Definitely heading back here!!

This week we made tomato sauce, pesto and dough for pizza.  Every week we seem to have more fun, more laughs and feel more like we are amongst friends.

This week when Andrew and I were getting ready to go to cooking classes  Ben asked me if they would have an apron to fit him like the aprons Mummy and Daddy wear.  Ben comes with us to class and my parents pick him up – Yay for Grandparents xo. So he sees a little of how things run.  I told him that they only have big peoples aprons but reminded him that he has an apron of his own.  He proudly puts his apron on to go to cooking classes today….. a little bit cute! He also got a special tour of the kitchen from Louise today.  Oh he loved it!! He kept his apron on all afternoon with Grandma and Grandad and was still wearing it when we got home!

It was pizza in our house for dinner tonight – with home made dough, pesto and tomato sauce.  Ben of course with his cooking class experience (a whole 5 minutes) was an expert pizza maker.  It is so lovely to see him helping cook and eating great food.  It makes for a very happy Mummy (& Daddy)!!
