Zach and Liv

Zach and neighbour Olivia are developing a very strong friendship. She bosses him - he does whatever she says. Both are happy playing together for a very long time.

The home celebrations

 Zach scored this year with lots of wonderful presents, including this digger. He also got a bunch of pink and purple balloons (his favourite colours), coupled with a dinosaur balloon. A somewhat different mix than what most people were getting for valentines day. Bronte gave him a car money box that she picked out herself. When I asked if she liked it, she replied "Well, I don't really like it, but I think Zach will, and it is his present" (he loved it).

The kindy celebration

A good thing about going to school on your birthday is that you get to have another cake - this was a late night effort at a hungry caterpillar cake: just that tiny bit more exciting than just cupcakes. Apparently Zach had a fantastic day - including a mammoth 3.5hr sleep. 

The native garden begins

The new deck will now lead onto a new native garden thanks to Al, and some careful listening and planting. 

The birthday week begins

At the park

Preps in swim class = very cute

Before school

With her coffee, reading the world atlas after dressing herself in her uniform. One word to describe how she is going at school? Thriving.

Cute at the pool

Sweet tooth

Note to self: do not leave the sugar jar within reach.
