'treasure & clues'

Every morning master four and I venture out for our morning ritual.  This morning as well as saying good morning to my chook children and letting them out, it included hanging the washing.  

While I was pegging clothes on the line, Matthew became very excited to find 'treasure' and lets find some more 'clues'! 

He often finds things around the place and its most always 'treasure'.  How exciting to be four, when everything is so exciting and adventurous.  I love getting caught up in the excitement and magic with him.  I have always loved it, playing along with their games.  

I remember when my girls (now 21 & 19) were small, we had a pond with lots of big plants, faeries & goblins surrounding it.  We often talked of the faeries that lived there and their magical and mysterious life.  My brother (who has three girls around the same age) would ridicule me endlessly that I should talk such nonsense.  I thought it was so sad that three little girls should grow up without the magic and imagination that we would create in our little paradise.  My girls would dress in their homemade fairy costumes, make wands and flit around the backyard.  I loved it just as much as they did.  This post brings back so many memories that seem just like yesterday. I so hope they remember when they are mothers.

So anyway, this morning it was 'treasure & clues'.  

Quick mum, he said, let's see if there's any more clues.  Off we went .... and this is his 'treasure & clues'.

I will miss this all very soon.  Like I said, its seems like only yesterday that the faeries were flitting around and now they are grown.  Time is flying away way too fast.

Have a lovely day :)
