Ah yes....where did April go? With all the rain and the snow, the garden really took off...as did the boys, Theo's teeth (again), Mama on the jetplane and so much more.....
It all started with Easter with Nikki, Magda and Matthias' easter egg hunt; school festivities which saw Mama blowing at least one dozen eggs over the course of a week (no sniggering please Uncle Bart and Dani), and Mama making Easter gifts for Theo's school. We missed the easter egg hunt at Theo's school as the boys slept through with their nap, but Zak made a beautiful Easter basket with a special dyed egg, a little garden and butterfly. He grew the grass himself and was most impressed. We also prepared for spring by getting the garden soil ready to grow and the first seedlings in their pots. Zak and Theo practised with their own little flower pots which suffered from a little neglect but it's the learning that is important! Every day th
ere are new flowers and unfortunately, new weeds but the garden is full of surprises and fills many a fun afternoon of discovery!
Theo continues with his teeth growing program with about 4 a month - this month we had some more molars coming through which means he has resorted to saving all his food in his cheeks like a little squirrel and then sucking it dry. When there is no juice left, we get to see the dried up stuff spat into the rubbish tins or toilet...... nice.....It snowed also early in the month and then half way through April, Mama went to China for the first time for a conference. She says it was spectacular and wants to go back. She met up with the Munshi family
and travelled with them through Hangzhou and Beijing and took 100 photos = they can be seen at www.imageevent/com/yann - here are a few for you to see.....
Zak and Theo spent the week driving Dada insane and in school but when Mama came back they had several books, crayons, Nini and Jing Jing for the Olympics and other goodies from Mama's friends. Then it was Mama's birthday..... Mama turned 39 this year and has been working hard so Dada, Zak and Theo splashed out and gave her an afternoon at the spa for her birthday gift! She was also spoiled by Dani and Bart....and they sent her Easter stuff as well! Mama and Dada actually went and had dinner and a date that night after spending the previous Day at Zak's springfest for school making crowns, eating cake and enjoying all sorts of shenanigans.
All in all it has been a busy month = and not much time even for photos......
summer is coming
soon though......
