Saturday's simple pleasures

This morning I headed off to our local Farmers Market with 4 kiddies in tow.  Wrapped in our Winter woolies, and loaded with our pocket money - we hit the stalls and had lots of fun.  Phoebe & Sophie were thrilled with their purchases, fine new clothing for 1 baby born and 1 build a bunny.  Noah & Jonah proudly carved their new cheap from China plastic swords - bravely fending off the locals with their huge dogs attached to them on a leash.  I purchased 4 little wooden children made by "Phresh hand made and recycled".  They are part of the Jacaranda family series. Precious.  They fit in perfectly with our current decor and it thrills me to no end.
Brod went on a nice long adventure up the hill on his mountain bike (since the ride there was uphill, you can imagine that the ride back was pretty quick.  We both pulled into the driveway at the same time.
All the kids jumped out the car and immediately assaulted him with their brand new wares.
It's been raining, and it's very cold again - so the fire has been roaring away in the fireplace all afternoon.
There are 6 little monkeys jumping around upstairs getting ready for bed....4 are my own, and 2 have been loaned to me by Claudette, Brod's lovely sister.  Tiago & Kianu are hanging out with us for the night.
It's sure to be an adventure.
It's 20h05 and my bed is calling my name (up since 2:30am so it does make sense).

We've been chatting through a plant all afternoon 

Our fire crackling away all arvies


Cheerio.
