The twin escapades

Yaay, a bit sooner this time. 

We’ve had a busyish week again this week.  And I have some very cute photos (or I think so) of the boys for you all to enjoy. 

Last Wednesday Dale and I shared our very first strawberry. We had half each.  There is another one on the plant just about ready to eat.  On Saturday we also had a cherry tomato each off our very own plants.  There are flowers on the grosse lisse plant so hopefully we wil have some lovely big tomatoes off these plants soon too. 

Our butternut pumpkin plants are going brilliantly too.  They have lots of little runners coming off everywhere and lots of flowers too.  I think the boys will be eating a lot of pumpkin some time soon.

 Unfortunately our chooks, Charlotte, Mary Shelley and Jane haven’t given us any eggs yet.  They are providing Molli with lots of play time though as she runs up to the pen and scares them. 

For mum’s group on Friday we went to the park for lunch.  It was really nice.  The boys had a great time rolling around on the picnic blankets and trying to eat the leaves and dirt.  Anyway, after they had such fun on Friday I put them out on a blanket on Saturday afternoon. 

Here are some of the photos from Saturday.

On Monday we had a big excursion and went up to Joondalup on the train with Auntie Leonie.  The boys were brilliant and although they didn’t sleep much during the day (about 20 minutes each way on the train) were very well behaved for the whole day.  I think we will go out on the train again when Grandma (mum) is here next week for a visit.

We’ve also started being a little bit more adventurous with food.  Both boys are now eating mash and are having finger food.  Here they are with there very first vegemite sandwiches.

And have a look at this photo of Zac.  He has taken to rolling himself up in the sheet that I put down on the floor for them to play on.  Only problem is he hasn’t worked out how to get himself out and gets a bit upset when he can’t.

Oh, and we have put up our Christmas tree.

Ciao all for now.  Hope you enjoy the photos.

    Glad the garden is looking good. At least you know its all healthy! The kids love vegies for the first year or so and then want junk food!! They both look great.
