"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Harrison: How our kids love playing with cardboard boxes, especially giant boxes! So much excitement when we said they could not only convert it into a house but could paint it too!  Daddy made a roof and carved out different shaped windows. (a bit like playschool!) Harrison is busy concentrating on the detailing around the window.  Amelie had painted the side that you can see and I think she was inside the house at this point!
Amelie: I love how your drawing has evolved over the last few months.  A special drawing of our family.
Finley: The 'ooh' face! You have been pulling this face all week and it looks so cute!

A fun week visiting the Auburn botanical gardens, with highlights exploring the Japanese gardens whilst dodging the huge gaggle of geese!, seeing all the Aussie animals in the Fauna reserve and throwing stones into the pool of reflection.
Some arts and crafts with painting the cardboard box 'house' and collecting leaves and flowers to press in the flower press I got from the op-shop on Wednesday.
We all loved having our tea party after school in the tent I made last weekend.  It was so cute seeing the kids using the mini china tea set and sipping on their lemon cordial!  Finley was excited to be in on the action and munch away on his rusk!
Our friends got married yesterday so it was good excuse to get dressed up and a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon.  Driving home we were treated to a spectacular electrical storm! Thankfully the sun had shone for the wedding!
