We often have homemade pizza on Sunday nights. Here, Mr. Diligence and Mr. Sweetie are working on shaping the crust, which Esther mixed up.
Mr. Imagination made many fun desserts for awhile, inspired by watching MasterChef. This is apple, banana, and raisins, with custard drizzled over.
Little Miss made this one. 
One morning we found a dead tui. We were quite sad that such a beautiful bird was dead, but Mr. Diligence decided to try to stuff it. He spent all morning carefully skinning it and trying to make it look somewhat life-like. 
He sprinkled salt inside the skin, then stuffed it with cotton balls and sewed it up.
Little Miss loves to play with her baby sister! For awhile, she lined her up with the dolls. Miss Joy won’t stay put for that now, though—she’s on the move at this point.
Big boys doing press-ups. That’s Mr. Intellectual to the left and Simon to the right.
The boys went down to the riverbed one day to collect willow branches for tomato stakes. They had to cross the creek to get them. Here are Mr. Intellectual and Mr. Diligence.
Mr. Sweetie went along.
Miss Joy is a happy girl!
Mr. Sweetie and Little Miss were pretending to be asleep, and Miss Joy looked from one to the other and back again, trying to figure out what they were doing.
All dressed up for church!
