Sisterly Love

The girls wanted to sleep in the lounge room tonight on the floor. However after they were fighting so much about this and that I said anymore and off to your own beds. Well what do you know? It all went quiet and when I went to check .... looks like they made up!

What's been happening at our place?




Ella now has glasses too. We picked them up yesterday and she's been proudly showing them off to anyone who wants to see them. She carries the case everywhere in one hand and the bottle of cleaner in the other. Very cute. All my girls have to wear glasses to due a left eye defect that Phil has. Phil is actually the only known male to have the condition. His Mum has it, both of his sisters, and a niece. I think Ruby might have it too. We need to get her checked out. So Amie got her first pair of glasses at 4yrs 7mths, Kate was 5yrs 9mths and Ella is 5yrs 8mths. Thanks goodness for PHI!

Kate needed a new pair (her second) the last ones had a huge scratch right down the middle of the lens. Not bad for the amount of thrashing they get.

The house smells beautiful at the mo when we open the front door. Lillies and Iris grace us as we enter! Thanks Amie!

The girls wanted to grow a flower garden so I found them a patch by the front door (so we won't forget to water it) and we went to the garden centre and they picked out a few colourful flowers.

Kate's been practising her flip on the gym ball. Eeek, have to watch out when passing. Might get a foot up the nose!

It's always lovely to get new jarmies!



Especially when they are a surprise by a lovely big sister (and Ruby's Mum!)

South Beach

Ella has been asking to go to the beach for what seems like forever. The last school holidays the weather was too poorly, and these holidays it was the one and only thing on her list. As the weather wasn't great the first week we didn't go. Now that we are running out of days, we had to make a late evening dash there today. That was after I went to work and then took the girls shopping. It was a bit chilly and windy at the beach, but the girls enjoyed it just the same.

Lake Monga


Hot chips for lunch


We had appointments for the girls in the City today and after taking a wrong turn we stumbled upon this wonderful place. As the weather was so lovely we decided once the appointments were over we would get some lunch and head to this lake we didn't know existed. How can we not know? Hmmm.

A home day

I love days when we can potter about at home doing whatever we fancy. The weather was gorgeous so the girls played outside alot. They have also been asking for days to make a fun cake,whatever that meant. Apparently it means one with pink icing and lots of smarties. It tasted yum too!!

A new job

Amie starts her new job today. Same type of work, new place,
M-A-N-A-G-E-R!!! Go girl!

Hooray!



After six very l-o-n-g weeks away, Phil arrives home today just in time for the second week of the school holidays. He was supposed to be away for 3, but 3 turned to 4 which in the blink of an eye became six. To say he's pretty tired is an understatement but I have a list with some small maintenance jobs on it that need to be done. The girls have been saving his Father's Day gifts for his homecoming. It seems so so long ago it was F.D. Oh well with it being the holidays they will have plenty of time with him while he is home.

The best $9.95 ever spent

The girls have had a ball today in the tent I bought them. They played inside in it for ages, moving it about the house. Then they took it outside when the sun came out. Back into the house and tonight it became a camping place. Blankets and pillows and two very tired children later. Wonder how long it will last?
