Lucky for another year

Exactly 364 days after I found a four leaf clover on farm last year I managed to find another one. Cassidy and I went to feed the chickens while Eliza was napping and the grass in the paddock has grown rather long and when I glanced down there it was standing tall above the grass. Cassidy found a 3 leaf clover which she was very proud of and told everybody about which was pretty sweet. Both have been put into a glass with water on the windowsill for everyone to see. We also found a gigantic egg in the chicken coup which will definitely end up being a double yolker. I do feel rather sorry for the chicken who had to lay it! The quail is still hanging out with the chickens but I'm pretty sure it's a male because we've seen no nests or quail eggs being laid. He's just adorable to watch run around the garden with his top knot shaking all over the place. This week the girls and I took mum and dad on the pleasant point steam train. Eliza is now obsessed with trains, a phase I'm sure most children go through. We saw a train the other day going past and she turned and in a questioning voice said "Thomas?" Thomas is her favourite train followed by James. They own a lovely wooden puzzle of all the character from Thomas the Tank Engine and she often wanders around holding pieces from it. She's learnt to say Gordon and Percy too. I caught her calling Diesel "naughty" and she went and put him on the naughty step for a time out. The steam train was pretty exciting for them both and at the end of the track they had some stalls selling lovely homemade things, a bouncy castle and free face painting. Eliza hates anything on her face so she really didn't want to try it but Cassidy ended up returning on the train ride back as a unicorn. Candy's sister Cheryl has come to stay this week and gosh is she lovely. The girls adore her and her fun bubbly personality. We ended up going with her and Bruce to the A&P agricultural show. It was a huge farming event with stalls selling everything you could possibly need as well as horse riding competitions, fun fair rides and best animal competitions. Eliza was in her element with the animals and Cassidy was just happy that Cheryl was there too. We saw sheep getting shorn and watched young teams Irish dance in a competition. Bruce, Cheryl and Cass went on a ferries wheel ride that seemed to go on forever while Eliza and I watched. The whole time Eliza was shouting "Cheryl" at the top of her lungs which made Cheryl's day seeing as last time she saw them Eliza wasn't even talking.Baca lagi
