March 17-26

Life feels so busy that I forgot to post my ‘365’ photos last week. Outside of work, and feeling busy and tired, we have been enveloping our time in our children. We are reading a lot, cooking a lot and snuggling a lot. We are really looking forward to the Easter break, when we will be catching up with friends and eating chocolate and homemade Easter buns and Easter pies and cakes.

Some highlights of the past week: We had lots of rain and our lawn is looking green again, and is growing again. Georgie has a new bedtime routine which is helping her fall asleep easier and sleep better in general. Matthew is reading a chapter book. Elora is deadset against wearing nappies.
