Birthdays and Easter Eggs!



This is my new way of getting about in MK with the kids. I am totally in love with my new (second hand) trailer and the boys love being carted around with me. I am hoping it will keep me fit over the Summer as well as keeping my petrol costs down. So far so good!


Caden had his 6th birthday party which I hosted at home. He wanted it to be a minecraft/nerf gun theme and luckily the weather was beautiful so the kids all played games out in the garden and went on the tablets indoors. 


Caden chose his cake from costco, you get to choose the fillings and the design. There was far too much cake for everyone though.


My sister Fiona visited with her four kids and the boys had a wonderful couple of days playing with their cousins at the playground ...


and the local parks. 


We received a kit to make your own bouncy balls for Caden's birthay so we made them. It was very interesting. The crystals simply need cold water and time to harden. Very simple. They really loved pouring in the crystals and making their own patterns. 



Examples of the balls we made. 


Testing the bounce. 


Caden wanted to make a king's crown to go with the royal robe he was wearing. We cut out a shape from a cardboard box that was knocking about and we spray painted it gold on the grass. Miles wanted a knight's shield which we spray painted silver. 


Then they decorated their new items with glitter, bits of tinsel, feathers and other things with UVA glue. 


A serious King. 


Miles was very proud of his shield. 


It was Easter, they got two eggs and had lots of fun devouring them!
