Birthdays - 14 and 16

The two teenagers lapped the sun again.  They are such great kids, very different in personalities, and both getting exceedingly tall.  The usual celebrations of birthday cake and going out for dinner were followed.

Easter

 



It would seem you are never too old for an Easter egg hunt, with the kids just as keen this year as any year past.  Each year Nanoo holds an Easter egg hunt and she has the perfect garden for hiding the eggs.  It still amazes me how the kids still struggle to find the eggs hiding in plain sight.  

We have a rule that all eggs are divided equally at the end.  The kids get to decide if they'd only like to find their quota of eggs or find as many as they can and then share the spoils at the end.  Usually they choose to limit themselves to their own allocation.





The egg hunt is generally followed by a short game of backyard cricket - as Aussie as you can, played in a pair of thongs.  Photos are also taken with Nanoo to prove now how much she is shrinking but how much the kids have grown since last Easter photo.  Just look at the size of Henry's feet.  Buster has a decent sized foot as well, so maybe there is a growth spurt coming soon.
