Saturday Shenanagins

Well, I knew today would be busy... AND FUN!!

Maybe the first part wasn't exactly "fun", but it was us all together, as it should be.

Our boy, Eric, came home yesterday.. Or to be more exact, his ashes. Jasper was really happy to have his boy home. So was I.
So, this morning, Paul and Jasper dug in the back garden, while Molly climbed on the slide, and I watched.
Eric's father, Mitch, is buried in the same spot, so we wanted them together.





They now rest side by side, and it's easy for Jasper to go and sit there and talk to Eric if he ever feels the need.

After all that, it was tee ball time. Jaspers team has the tough and scary name of Embroid Me. The teams in the Under 9's are named after their sponsor..
Jasper played a rocking game, and was awarded best player by his team. He got a free sausage sizzle and a trophy for the week!
A great way to end the morning.
a girl and her poppie... is there any sweeter sight?
 Dusty and  happy after sliding into home plate for the 3rd time.


After Molly had her nap time and we had all had lunch, we headed down to my folks place. My two nieces and one nephew were there for afternoon tea. Since I have not seen them in about a year, it was lovely to catch up with them.
Jasper misses his cousins desperately, and Molly doesn't really know them at all, so it was nice watching them all know each other again.





Oh, and we planted our veggie patch last weekend.. things are looking SWEET!
The beetroot seeds are sprouting...
(there are purple and green worms there, I promise)

The corn seeds have sprouted!


The snow peas, tomatoes, strawberries and lettuce are also looking good... it is only the basil seeds I am waiting to sprout.

I have been asked by Jasper's school to get his eyes tested. He has also been sniffing a LOT lately, and our GP said it was just from an allergic reaction, so said drops and antihistemines for a while... today he woke up with blisters over his left nostril.
I am not too concerned, but have emailed his haematologist for a referral for his eyes, and also for advice on the snozzer!!
thanks for reading, will update again SOOOON!!
