Lest we forget

D16 got up this morning and made anzac bikkies.. and we read the solemn poem on ANZAC day that both hubby and I listened to twenty five years ago at school. I still find it so moving..

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved,
And now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Jaimee and Jamin came over for pumpkin soup and glo-heart lollies... mmmmm..
you guys are so cool and we love hanging out with yas !!

This afternoon, hubby and the kids found Billy-the-frog at the roadside of the pond and had a blast taking him back to the water, and watching him swim.
