busy busy busy

Oh this time of year! Busy busy busy. I can barely find the time to sit and concentrate on words to accompany this space so I think some photos with few words is in order for the next few weeks. But before that a wrap up of our lives of late.

As well as as much time at the sewing machine as I can possibly manage (which is never enough I must say!) we've been making the most of our beautiful bike set-up and heading out car-less every single day that it isn't raining. And simply loving it. LOVING it! The kids complain if we have to use the car now and possibly love cycling as much as I do. Thank goodness - how tragic would it have been after spending so much time and money on converting my bike to have kid-hauling capacity if they'd hated it?!

They were completely and totally cracking up the other morning when they put their helmets on backwards. Boy these two are adorable! They share the same ever so easily satisfied sense of humour. Bum jokes, helmets on backwards, silly rhyming or made up words....the simplest things have them in hysterics.

We had way too much rain last week and only made it out on the bike twice. It was a pretty miserable week, Little D had a slight cold and as each day dawned wet we all felt frustrated and ripped off. What happened to summer huh? Will has been extra busy with the recent opening of our first ever Melbourne store and our 2nd ever Sydney store. Extremely exciting but draining times! By Saturday I was in desperate need of my Tai Chi class only to have it cancelled due to poor weather.

It was after a week of this that we decided that come the first proper sunny day we would make a special trek to our favourite little beach. And that we did on Monday. Perfect time for the beach mind you, no-one around, school still in. We had the place to ourselves for the most part. It was beautiful. Everything we needed and more. I don't know why we don't go more often.
