A Break Away

We've had a lovely few days away at a farmstay in Harvey, about 2 hrs south of Perth. It was one of the most relaxing holidays with kids I've had - there was so much for them to do! They spent lots and lots of time feeding the animals, collecting the eggs, on the playground and making new friends! Hooray for new friends.





We visited Sterling Cottage, beautiful gardens which we loved walking around.

Pony rides were a huge hit, as were the ute rides around the paddocks!








A night out at the country trots was a new experience!

Accomodation was roomy and the scenery breathtaking!

Gorgeous sunset

We climbed up the top of the Big Orange, Ella was a bit frightened but managed to get all the way to the top. Well she was carried some of the way ...

The girls tried out their new fishing rods - no fish though!

and the girls favourite friends!

Happy Easter Sunday

We have had a very relaxing few days here with just the three of us hanging out together, The girls have enjoyed their Easter Sunday with too much chocolate, new winter jarmies and tracksuits. They've had fun painting eggs and we've loved watching Little House on the Prairie on dvd. Hope you've all had a happy day xx

Beautiful tulips for Easter

Last Day Term One - Easter Celebrations!

Looking forward to the day ahead!

How beautiful is this hat??

Ella delivers her part which she practised for 2 weeks. She was quite nervous but got it all perfect!

Parading the hat!

Cute girl, cute haircut!

Happy Birthday ...

to me!

I have been very spoilt with two boxes of chocolates, slippers, a camera bag and a voucher! Plus beautiful handmade cards. They are the best. Eeeek it's my last year in my thirties :)

Seeing it was such a beautiful autumn day, I thought we would go to The Maze. We hadn't been before, it was good for us all to get some exercise and fresh air! The girls had a great time getting lost in the mazes and finding their way out!

How cute is this little pumpkin after such a busy weekend?

And then there were just two ....

For the first time ever Ella is not with me tonight, she's having a sleepover at Amie & Ruby's house and is so excited. I on the other hand was a bit sad :( So I was looking for something for Kate and I to do, we looked at the movies but all that was on that was suitable for her was Thomas the Tank Engine or Bob the Builder. So we headed to the Kalamunda show. Lots of people there but not too many that you waited ages to be served. The weather was good, and we thoroughly enjoyed fireworks!

Assembly News

Yesterday the Year Three and Four's did an item at assembly. They sang "Talk to the Animals" which was really cool! Kate took along lots of her stuffed animals and it all made a really cool display.

Kate also received an Honour's Certificate for always giving her best effort and consistently producing work of a high standard. Well done!

We are so proud of you Kate!

This Weeks Flowers

Early Birthday Dinner

Tonight we went up the hill to one of our favourite places to eat to celebrate my birthday a few days early as Phil flies back to work tomorrow :( The girls were very well behaved despite it being late and being tired after school and ballet. Ella declared at bedtime she'd had a great night - the best ever!

More Wonderful Wednesday

The house has been blessed with beautiful colours once again!



Three days later, the lillies are open!

Stolen Camera

Got to love it when you uploads photos YOU took only to come

across some YOU didn't take!

Wonderful Wednesday

Every Wednesday Amie brings me flowers home. She works in a florist and is studying Floristry on a Wednesday at Tafe. What she gives me is what she's made in class that day.

Aren't they gorgeous. I love the colour combination!
