Bunch of Birthdays

The last few weeks seem to have gone by very quickly...  The first weekend of March was all lined up for a long weekend's camping trip.  Unfortunately we had to call it all off due to stormy weather.   So the kids helped setup our new veggie patch in the back yard... We planted tomatoes, spinach, lettuce and bok choy...  This is in addition to our existing crop of lemon, mint, basil, chilli, parsley and lemongrass.  The girls are starting to get a excited about eating our next crop!


On Wednesday night, the mum's had a school info night (and dad was in Wagga Wagga), so the kids had a night with Akira and Emika!


Another weekend came around, and it was time to celebrate Nikhil's 2nd birthday.  Nikhil's birthday is actually in December, but his mum and dad have decided to delay the celebration to allow everyone to come.  Obviously the theme was Toy Story, and Nikhil was rapt by the guest appearance by Woody!


The kids played tug-of-war... It ended up as a tie (in the girls vs boy match)...


 Happy Birthday Nikhil!


The next day we headed out to the park for Emika's birthday...


We didn't notice at first, but we figured that all the girls were on one table, and all the boys were on the mat... That is except our two girls who seem to have surrounded themselves with the boys!


Fun and games...


 Happy Birthday Emika...


Just some photos of the girls at home...


This weekend, we spent a good part of Saturday in the garden, followed by dinner with the Bastianon's...  Daddy has officially kicked off his training regime, after registering this week for the Oxfam Trailwalker in August (more to come in future posts)...

On Sunday (to make up for all the gardening) daddy and the girls headed into the Maritime Museum...  Strangely we didn't manage to get any photos while we were there, but we did enjoy a yummy burger afterwards!


 And then, to wrap up the weekend, the girls had a try at writing with traditional quills (made from cockatoo feathers from Wagga Wagga)...


The girls struggled with the quills (which didn't work quite as well as hoped, but loved the idea of writing like 'the old people'...
