Family of Five: A busy few weeks..

It has been such a busy few weeks with Easter weekend followed by Bronte's 12th birthday and then to round things up Mother's Day this weekend. We have been enjoying some beautiful weather and with a run of long weekends have had many opportunities to get out as a family. Last Monday we went to Bullocky's Rest on the banks of the Pine Dam with my sisters family and enjoyed a bit of cricket, feeding the ducks and just being out in the fresh air. Mother's Day started off with an invasion of children into our bed, then breakfast and a quick trip out to the shops. Very spoilt!

We had a proper birthday party for Bronte last year - so decided to keep things a little quieter this year. Bronte had a close friend come over for the afternoon and a sleepover and shared cake for afternoon tea. Bronte and the boys wanted to blow up some balloons despite not having a party then proceeded to fill them with water instead and amuse themselves by taking them outside and rupturing on the concrete; leaving all the broken pieces of balloon for us to pick up later.
