Rain!!!! We need it, we really do, but for the first day of the hols? The good thing I guess is the kids are sick, so the rain is forcing us to stay home. Hopefully they'll get better soon. Now to think of ways to keep them busy (and not fighting) Ruby is here today too - two's company and three's a crowd as everyone knows.

Not one, but TWO Hannah Montana's! Woohoo!
It was a mufti day today for the last day of term, the theme was music! So the girls both wanted to go as HM. Don't they look gorgeous?

Mid - Year Dancing Concert
Today the girls will dance for us! I'll be back later with hopefully some good photos to share!
Well, I didn't get any photos today! Firstly, we were too far back in the first half to really see (I have a cheap camera) and secondly I forgot I had the camera - I was too busy watching! Nevermind. We all enjoyed watching the show and they all did so well. Very proud!
Here's some photos from the end of year concert last year!
Beautiful ballerina's. They performed "Little Miss Muffet"
Our Jazz girl - performed "Hey Baby!
The Acrobats girl performed "Abracadabra"
Tap girl performed "Baby Face"
Now that the mini-concert is out of the way - it's coming up to exam time! (end of July)

Afternoon Tea
We had a family afternoon tea for the birthday girl this year. Quiet but lovely all the same.
Blue is Kate's favourite colour, but without using food colouring, it is hard to find blue food.
Blueberries are NOT a favourite.
So the food had some pink amongst it too.
She had chosen the movies this year to celebrate - Hannah Montana - but when we checked it out (release date was Thurs) we realised it didn't start in WA until next week.
So she chose Night at the Museum2 which we all liked, although it was quite late and seeing as Kate had been up since 4am, was getting pretty tired.
Next week we will take a couple of her friends to see Hannah Montana!
At bedtime, she declared it to be a wonderful day, her favourite presents were the DSi, skateboard and two pairs of Hannah Montana pj's!

Our silly cat
For the last few weeks, Gordon has slept under the couch everyday from about 6am to 5pm. He has made two holes under the cushions (naughty boy!!!) and that's how he gets in. Usually he wriggles down and the cushions fall back into place so you would never know he is in there! Today Kate lifted it off fo him as she was sitting right there.
Anyone else has a cat who sleeps in funny places?

An afternoon in the sun
We headed out to the park this afternoon with the bikes, some food and a bit of light reading
A great playground for the kidlets
Plenty of room for riding
These monkey bars were the perfect height
for little legs
The girls spent an hour on this horrible spinny thing!
Honestly I hate these things.
A stroll past the lake ...
... to watch the boats
