Well we are fast approaching the middle of mad March. In our Family this means 8 birthdays which include hubby's and both of Boo's grandfathers and 1 wedding anniversary, another reason I would like Bean to await arriving until April which is a far quieter month for us.
Our family have spent the previous weekend Glamping at a lovely educational campsite called
Wollangara. I made it through Labour Day Weekend (Vic.) without it becoming labour day, thank you Bean. Hubby has discovered the joy of camping in the simplicity of just being surrounded by nature, sounds odd but it really does wonders for ones sense of wellbeing.
On camp we consumed copious amounts of food and cake as it was a working bee/birthday weekend. Boo had an absolute ball in his new gumboots, chasing chickens, riding in wheelbarrows, being adored by his cousins and being bathed in a large cooking pot. We also had some day visitors including my Grandparents for a sit down Lunch on the Sunday. It was lovely that they were able to come and join us even braving the flying fox across the river which is the Wollangara access point (this was Boo's least favourite thing)

I enjoyed spending time with my extended family, helping prep meals, watching hubby enjoy the Australian bush and watching Boo in his adventurous element. I am sooo very proud of the way he wants to help, be with people and trusts that they are there to assist him. He is so willing to play with cousins rarely seen and aunts & uncles infrequently visited as though they were in fact an everyday part of his family life. This just thrills me as it is what I enjoy most about having such an amazing extended family who warmly welcome and embrace me and mine when we are together as though no time has passed since we were last together.
Today I also had the lovely experience of visiting a friend and her boys for a BBQ where we sat for a delicious lunch and then had our boys playing out in the yard while we relaxed and chatted. I was also delighted to discover that she too is reading
The Wife Drought by Annabel Crabb. So had a lovely discussion about the book (we have both just started) and the international women's day
Q&A as well as other political and cultural issues. So nice to share briefly on our children then converse as adults. I am greatly enjoying Annabel's book so far as I do adore her humour, wit, intellect and perspective on life in general.
