Brrr .... chilly Easter Sunday

The girls were up at 6am today so excited to see what the Easter Bunny had bought. It's priceless the innonence of childhood. Just as it should be. They were all thrilled with what they got. Plenty of chocolate plus a few extras - a Disney Princess watch each for Kate and Ella and a Disney Princess musical tin for all those girly treasures. Ruby was delighted with her Dora torch and her Tinkerbell handbag that had 3 eggs inside. Although Ella thinks it's her handbag so there have been a few tears today. After a bit of chocky consumption, they settled down to boiled eggs and to watch their new dvd - Charlotte's Web. Gorgeous movie. It was a rainy cold Perth day - 23 deg - that is much cooler than we are used to. Pottered around the house for the morning then Kate & Ella were getting at each other so off for a drive. Being Easter Sunday not much was opened. Actually being Sunday means not much is open. This is the West after all. So we just went to Hungry Jacks - bleeergh! The girls ate and then had a lovely time in the playground. The wind turned colder and I was cold, even for me which is saying something. So we came home early. Early tea, bath, watched a bit of Charlotte's Web (again!) and now they're all tucked up sleeping blissfully!
Ahhh peace!

No pics - camera decided to break down yesterday. Not happy at all.

Ruby the Show - Off

It's official. The youngest member of the household is a showoff. Always showing us her 'pappies' as she calls them. She loves getting new ones in the mail. A model in the making maybe??

Randoms things happening in our lives!

• Amie is buying a sewing machine soon and embarking on the wonderful world of sewing! Hopefully there'll be some sewing classes close by that she can enroll in.


• School holidays start this Thursday 5th April. No plans at this stage but hopefully the weather will be kind and we can do lots of outdoor activities.


• Phil is now working at a nickel mine near Lincester. He's a leading hand/trainer operator which is a new challenge.


• Kate now has to wear glasses to correct her long sightedness in her left eye. A common problem that runs on Phil's side of the family.


• Ella recently had to have some tests done to see whether the reoccuring UTI's that she's getting have affected her kidneys. Fortunately they haven't. I'm so glad she doesn't need an operation.


• Ruby is becoming such a good little talker. Making us laugh constantly with the words that come out of her mouth.
