Our Sunday

Whilst listening to an mp3 sermon this morning, the children drew on whiteboards, played some games of memory, and I continued to knit Beth's cardigan. Benjamin cuddled one of us most of the time. With the weather being so cold and windy this weekend, to cozy up on the couches with the heater on was a delightful way to spend some hours.

After our morning together, we decided to get busy.

Beth, Matilda, Lillith and I (with spasmodic efforts from Emily and Willem) peeled, cored, cut and preserved 12 bottles of pears. We got bread made, and yoghourt fermenting, and even a batch of jam setting.

Josiah thought a clean up in the garage would be a good way to spend half an hour, and the littlies went from job to job inputting to their ability.

The strong winds have made a mess of the patio but there's no use trying to do anything about that until the winds subside.

We finished the day with pasta and tinned fruit, and by enjoying an Australian Geographic documentary. (The older ones snuck in a bit of Willy Wonker after the littlies' bedtime.)

We all felt good with our efforts today.
