 I took a few pics of the girls tonight while I was helping in the dressing rooms. I missed a few costumes -Kates slow modern, Ellas ballet (the same as Kates) Rubys slow modern (the same as Ellas) due to quick changes. The girls had fun though, and get to do it all again tomorrow night (and I get to watch!)

Adjusting the routine.

So Tuesdays are essentially my day off. My day off from paid work. It doesn't mean I sit down all day, infact I think I cram so much into Tuesdays, work the rest of the week seems like a breeze. Today at lunchtime, after spending the morning cleaning the house, washing, cleaning the chicken coop and getting ready AGAIN for tomorrow nights concert, I threw my bag in the car and headed out.
Up the hill first to bank a cheque, followed by a few groceries and then a stroll around. It was rather warm but I didn't let that stop me. I needed to recharge my batteries and getting out was important. It was pretty quiet, not many people about at all. After I finished, I took a scenic route home and enjoyed the view.

The streets were pretty deserted

I love this little theatre

which is currently showing this:

the shops were quiet too

Pretty Christmas displays

One of my favourite places

I stopped to look at this cute house for sale

beautiful jacarandas on the drive

There was not a soul about - I breathed in the peace and quiet!

I loved this little man guarding his property

Nearly home with the view of the city in the background

Ella's Wish List!

These are FIVE things on Ella's wish list this Christmas:

gift card because she likes to do her own shopping

American Girl Doll Mia - to add to her collection

knitted bunny headphones from TYPO

high tops

Sponge Bob anything!!!

That Time of the Year!

when it is so busy for everyone. Today I have to sew new ribbons on Kates ballet shoes (Ella's are fine!) and more feathers on their tutu's and sparkly brooches as well. They will look stunning when they are done. The first of the stage rehearsals is tonight. This will be the 7th dance concert for Kate and 6th for Ella. Well I best get the needle and cotton out!

Cooling down

Sunday was hot. 40c odd degree hot. We lazed around all day. The girls' cooled off in the blow up pool, and under the hose. When they grew tired of that, they lay inside in the air con watching movies.

Kate's Christmas Wishlist

The girls have got their lists done already this year, and the shopping has began. Kate found it harder this year to come up with some ideas as she's in that in-between stage. Anyway, here are a few items she would love:

white roller skates

laptop case from Typo

 

One Direction perfume

babylips lip balms

Smiggle erasers
