our whole family loves Lord of the Dance – the music, the dancing – everything! we’ve got it on CD and video and the kids love to watch and dance along. so, when we heard that http://www.rhythmsofireland.com/ was performing in town, it sounded like the perfect opportunity for a family nite out. we’re seeing the show tonite – the kids are SO excited & so am I! edited to add: it was a great nite! there was a big crowd & the kids were literally on the edge of their seats, enthralled with the performance. master B wants to be a tapdancer & motorbike rider now!

may have started with a dawn muster, followed by a hot busy day at the shed … but there’s always time for birthday cake – right?

& 2 layers of chocolate mud cake + chocolate frosting + maltesers = one delicious cake!

it was as tasty as it looks!

Our annual shearing started today and Madi and Bear are beyond excited about the prospect of hanging out and helping around the woolshed. It will be a hub of activity over the next 2 weeks.

jumping and climbing on the wool bales are two of their favourite things

Kids + easter eggs = bliss!

We had the annual easter egg hunt before Sunday pancakes – and the 1st thing we discovered was lots of wrappers & no eggs!? It appears that our dog, Beauty has developed a taste for easter eggs & a talent for removing the wrappers! Fortunately she didn’t find all of them, so the hunt contunued & the kids shared the bounty! There was a bit of a sugar rush today, so it will be interesting to see how long their stash lasts. Last year, they made them last til October! Hope you & your family had a wonderful Easter!
