April Fun

May 23, 2016 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

Otherwise known as random pictures! One Sunday in April, our nephew went to church with us, and we took him north of Kaikoura to see the baby seals. Little Miss loved them, too!

Everyone has been enjoying our new kittens. They love to sleep on people! Unfortunately, the black-and-white one was accidentally killed this week when she got in someone’s way. We miss her, but are glad to still have the other.

I liked this sight, as Mr. Inventor took a turkey to a neighbor who wanted to buy him to live with her turkey hens.

A favorite activity has been building towers with the base 10 blocks.

Just a funny picture of Mr. Imagination!

Mr. Imagination loves his “robot pajamas”, which were in a bag of clothes that was given to us.

Impromptu math lesson one evening! I can’t remember any more what we were discussing, but that white board sure comes in handy!

Mr. Inventor and Mr. Diligence got the idea to bob for apples one evening. They soon caught on to pushing the apples to the bottom of the dishpan to get hold of them!

Mr. Intellectual is my kitchen helper. He learned how to make tortillas recently.

The two little boys built this. We brought very few toys with us when we moved here from America, but this was a set we didn’t want to be without.

    Took a walk down our dirt road yesterday, and measured the distance from our place to your old place with my phone……almost exactly 1/2 mile!! Funny to think that your children played with those Lincoln Logs at that house. 🙂
