Easter 2023

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie

The end of term one at school signaled that it must be Good Friday and Easter! In the lead up you and I did a little Easter egg hunt with a friend from playgroup Josie (although it seems like you were both happy to just collect one egg, eat it, and then move on to the next!). We then did our traditional Good Friday brunch at Ma Ma and Gumps' house, and we were lucky enough that my own grandparents were able to join us for the morning. Ma Ma organised an Easter egg hunt for you all in the garden and it was bittersweet to think that this could potentially have been your last hunt in it as they will officially be putting the house on the market soon, with the intention of moving to Mandurah. 

The night before Easter we put some carrots out for the Easter bunny and lo and behold he delivered you all a great stash overnight, and left bunny footprints out the front! You all had a greta time collecting the chocolate from around the house. We made chocolate milks with whipped cream on top from your chocolate bunnies and headed to your cousin's house in the afternoon for yet another Easter egg hunt! Safe to say we are set for our sugar quota for the next few months. We had a yummy late lunch/early dinner with your cousins and grandparents before heading home for an early night! It was a lovely Easter weekend. 

Love you all,

Bins, soakwells and birthday parties!

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie,

In preparation for the rest of the paving to go down out the back now that the patio is in, your dad filled another 9 cubic metre bin with gravel and the concrete paths that were all there when we moved in. Your dad has been an absolute machine, filling his third skip bin in the last year. It was a mammoth effort and hopefully that means in the next few months you'll be able to play outside a lot more as it will no longer be a sand pit! We also had ten soakwells installed given the patio is so huge and we're going to have a lot of run-off this winter otherwise. Tobes you loved having the mini excavator in your backyard before you headed off to school!

We've also been going to a few birthday parties lately! Tobes you looked so cute dressed up as a prince for one of them! We also went to your friend Jorge's in the hills and Matt you went to a party at Timezone, one of your favourite places. It's great having so many parties again after so many years of cancelled celebrations due to the pandemic.

Love you all,
