Creatures in our backyard

We love searching our backyard for creatures 🙂 Master D often goes out to play with ‘my friends the ants – they’re real you know mum’.

We like to watch worms travelling by…

Check for slaters and bugs under our stump seats…

And of course, play with the resident creature – our Wookie dog (more information about this creature here)!

Wookie also likes to sniff out the creatures in our backyard. His latest ‘friend’ was a big ugly toad – ick. We had to move this creature on since Wookie liked licking him which led to much carpet cleaning.

Master D still hopes toad and his friends might visit again… I’m happy if they don’t!

Warm wishes, Kelly

It’s flower paint!

Max loves to use his dad’s tools. Screwdrivers, spanners and especially hammers! So when I came across flower pounding on Rhythm of the Home (love that site!) I knew we had to give it a try!

Max carried my little basket from when I was small, and we wandered around the garden choosing our flower palette. We picked lavender, bottle brush, pansies, love-in-the-mist and many others.

When I got the hammers out and helped Max lay his flowers on paper, with tea towels on top, he seemed rather curious! What would we use the hammer for?! Once he saw what to do, off he went – pounding away happily.

 

He kept peeking as he went, and when he saw what was happening cried ‘it’s flower paint!’

 

Flower paint indeed *grin*

Blessings, Kelly
