Hard yakka




So much to do at our place, and thankfully the girls are keen to give a hand. Today we took a load to the dump (which interestingly is a fascinating and educational place for kids - even shut in the car), and then they helped Daddy with digging out one of the old gardens near the house. They found their own shovel, wheelbarrow and other gear and got right into the swing of things. Probably took Greg a bit longer than he'd hoped, but the enthusiasm was hard to ignore.
The bike hats were on, as they've finally discovered (now that we've moved a few things) that there's a great bike track around the carport and front path of the house, which Ellen goes on her bike for hours (literally) singing as she goes - what a great way to tire them out without leaving home. Olivia is trying her best to master the cycling action and willing her legs to be longer, so that she can join in the action. Won't be long I'm sure...
