Grampi's 90th and Rob's Farewell

Today we had a lunch at Mum and Dad's to both celebrate Grampi's 90th and to farewell Rob who is heading off to the UK for 12 months to continue his studies in Law.

Vege Garden

One of the great things about moving into Nana and Poppy's was the vege garden. We get broccoli, snow peas, spinach and a few different types of lettuce. A bit later on we'll hopefully get potatoes, cabbage, broad beans, tomatoes, garlic, chives and strawberries. When we moved in most of the plants were quite small but due to good weather and Meeks' diligent weeding we have had a continuous crop of great veges. Mitch loves playing with his toys in and around the veges and enjoys picking the snow peas too - in fact he even helps Meeks with the weeding!

Here are some shots of the vege garden:

Mitch's soccer

On Thursday morning Mitch plays soccer at a local indoor sports centre. He absolutely loves it. He has a couple of really great coaches called Luis and Woody. They are really great with the kids. They do a number of little skills practices like kicking and throw ins and goalie throws and passing and dribbling and also a special trick each week - this week was the circular ball hop, where you hop on one foot and roll the ball around you with the other. Very tricky and to tell you the truth none of the kids could do it but they all had fun trying. At the end they all have a short game. Mitch listens really well and has heaps of fun and looks forward to it every week.

This week I was working from home on Thursday and managed to go and watch him play.

Here are some action shots:

Boys in the bath

The boys don't always have baths together, but when they do it's very cute. They love to splash and make a mess, which this video clearly demonstrates! Mitch does most of the splashing. That's Lucas on the left and Sam on the right. Little cuties!

Boys morning in the park

First of all an apology. We've had some internet issues and have been unable to upload much in the last few weeks, so there is going to be a bunch of new posts so keep reading!

A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning, I took all the boys to the park to play and give Mummy a chance to have a break from them all. I used to take Mitch to the park a lot but hadn't done it with all three boys, so off we went. I was a lovely sunny morning and the boys had lots of fun. Now that Lucas and Sam are walking it was funny watching them wandering around the park. Mitch of course loved climbing to the top of everything in sight.

Here is a slideshow of the morning. Lucas is in blue, Sam is in red.
