April memories

Catching up with all I want to add here so there will be lots of posts!

Our Leo turned 5 towards the end of April! Happy 5th birthday, our Leo!


We had a small, family pirate themed party for him as he really loved all things pirate related. He had such a lovely day. What a gentle, sharing soul he has and how we love our Leo the lion heart, boy of the earth. We call him Bobby Snooks because he really, really loves his books. Our house is often scattered with a multitude of books which he has been leafing through.

This year's St George's Day/Shakespeare anniversary festival celebrations were very low-key. We read St George stories, read lots of Shakespeare plays and that's about it! We did plan more but ended up exploring the woods instead and not fighting dragons and acting out simple plays.

Here is a very cheeky little elf we discovered one early morning, munching on an apple in a tree stump...



Here are two princes about to climb up Rapunzel's long vine hair! These two absolutely love all the pretty girls in the fairy tales, or any story for that matter, especially Rapunzel and Cinderella!



Sol, our bug hunter, has been very excited with the insect world all awakening and has spent many hours in the woods turning over stumps, seeking out insects and carefully setting the stumps back again. Noah loves the insect world too and Leo is more interested in the plant world.

What an incredible, lively world abounds beneath the undergrowth, but that's another post.





Our babe has been breathing in lots of fresh air, happily asleep most of the time, in the sling.



April was indeed a precious month.
