Sunday Morning ... Planking At the Park... Happiness and Sunshine!

Here at the Lazy A, its well known that we dont do Sundays very well. In fact, in general, we are lazy.

So today was refreshing. No early start, but up and off to the Park...
The weather curved inward this week and we had a couple of nights and days of rain. Whod have thought the weekend would be *One out of the box*?

It was superb. Big Blue skies... not many white fluffy clouds, just enough to be interesting... A light Spring breeze, and lots of sunshine. Love that Sun! It makes you feel like you are warm inside...

Of course, then theres the company...

Four Children, all mine... mine!! I havent had the four of them for a whole day together in quite a while. Theyre always doing *stuff* - the older they get, the busier it is. So we took photos, and the kids planked.

The older two egging the younger two on, and snap, theres Mom with the camera.

Then there was The Dog. 

A dog who just appeared. He (or was it She?)  hung around, he sniffed, did Doggy Things, and then, barked at Blaise, ran over and picked up a stick, and sat expectantly after dropping the stick at Blaises feet.

He and Blaise played for quite a while... Im not sure who got tired first... But I know whose missing who!!

Beautiful dog, no owner in sight. And, as we left, I spied him taking his stick over to the next people at the play ground.

No stupid dog there... he knew what the game was... Im picking he lives nearby and this is a game hes played before! Awesome. How to have a dog and enjoy him, when you dont actually have a dog... and my boy Blaise - he REALLY wants a dog. Hmm, what boy wouldnt want a dog like this one...?

Its been awesome having the kids here. The older two are so different and such *their own people* now. Today we have  listened to music like Nirvana, from similar thrashing pounding beats, through to Susan Boyle, watched Music videos on Youtube, learnt about mp3 players and talked about E-readers, how to facebook from texts, and all manner of things. They think I know what theyre talking about... I kind of do... now. Cos I listen, nod, think about things, then when theyre gone, Google is My Friend. I love my boys.

And then theres my little Princess. She loves having her big brothers around her. She shrieks with delight when they toss her, cuddle and tickle, rough house and chase...

The big boys are gone now, back to their Dads, to get ready for another week at school and work. My two littles are tucked in, theyve voted to top and tail tonight, and between them there are new hot water bottles which are considered a Winter Treat. I can hear whispers. Theyre  tired, but boy they are happy.

So nice to *hear happy*... and today, was one Sunday full of smiles!

Thats Us for now!
Hope your week is a good one :)

Love is the Seed...

*Love is the Seed from which Happiness Grows...*

Well, I think thats a beautiful quote.
Today has been rather sleepy, the weather started the day with fine drizzle. The sun came out, and the seeds on our windowsill decided to kick into gear. Cabbage, Cauliflower and Basil seeds are looking good, all seeding...
The School Child is anxious to go back, just one more day then its off to Intermediate... The uniform is ready, and SURPRISE! He can now tie his laces like a Professional! It has taken us a while... he struggles with fine motor skills at the best of times, but tying laces when being taught by a South Paw (Left Hander) has lead to issues. Ive had to show him righthanded, and we got there in the end. So now, The Independence Begins.

The plum tree down the back of the section has created a riot. The two of them have been down there with their buckets and the rake, doing the traditional Plum Shuffle, swinging the rake up into the tree to bring down the massive plums that are just *on ripe* In a month, theyll be gone, the birds find them tasty, and the wasps like the carcasses... and by then, the kids will have *Had them Up To Here* (their chins) and had their fill...

Not alot to report on this fine Monday, just stopping in to tap out a wee post so I keep my hand in...
Did you hear the collective sighs of relief as NZ Mummies sent their babes back to school this morning? And on it will go, each morning this week, til theyre all back to regular routines... I have heard whispers of missing their children... its true!

Love and Blessings
