School Holidays
We are enjoying our school holidays at the moment, so a different routine.

Today after breakfast I took baby girl for our morning walk while the boys played with the lego.  After morning tea I did a few extra cleaning jobs. I wiped the landing upstairs- walls and edges while my daughter cleaned the staircase. I then cleaned all the walls and door of the downstairs toilet. I'm up to date with my extra weekly cleaning jobs. I have a list with a job for each week to do.

After lunch while baby girl napped I drove to the orchard and bought our fruit for the week. I picked some more tomatoes from our garden and picked the last beans to dry and use for seed next season. There were still a few small zucchini also which I picked to use in tomorrow night's dinner.

I took baby girl for our afternoon walk and then went on a 1/2 hour bike ride with my son. It was fun. We had yummy chicken soup for dinner with fresh bread.

After the little ones were tucked up in their beds I wrapped a few presents for a 50th and 80th birthday and an engagement. Last week I bought 4 engagement presents for couples in our church.

Now for a cuppa and to put my feet up!

I love being a stay at home mum with our six beautiful children from the Lord. Each day we strive to live faithfully for Him in thankfulness for His gift of full and free salvation.
