Year Six Social

From left: Jarrad, Kade, Sage, Drazik, Mark, Caitlyn, Kate, Clare, Anthea, Nikita, Kayla, Aleisha, Justine.

Kate had her Year Six social tonight which we didn't know whether she would make it to in the end as she had been vomiting the night before. She had chosen a lovely new dress so it would have been a great shame if she couldn't wear it. But after a day off school resting she was okay to go. We arrived early so got a group photo with some that were already there. Love all the pretty dresses!

I can't believe Kate will be at high school next year!

Kate still loves a few toys too, at 11 years old! My girls still play alot together, and have a lot of common interests, so often have the same lists. Kate has also been wanting an American girl Doll all year. Here is a few things from her list.

American Girl Doll (not sure which one, but this one reminds me of Kate!) 



A blue Furby



One Direction (anything!)





Dip Dye Shorts

 Pennyboard (purple!)

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Yesterday while out shopping I spotted these. Aren't they just gorgeous? I remember having a few Ladybird books growing up and loved them!





There were a few others in the store I saw them in, I just love the gorgeous tins!

These would make a great present for the little crafter in your life!

Ella's Christmas Wishlist

Ella still has a firm list of favourites that's been her favourites for the past year. Not much has changed. While she does love technology-type gear, she also still loves to play with toys! I'm not worried even though she is nearly 10, as kids seems to grow up way too fast these days!

Her number one item that has been on her list ALL year that I have desperately tried to talk her out of:

American Girl Doll Julie



A yellow Furby






Spongebob Squarepants (anything!) 





 Slushy Magic 



Crayola Jewellery Boutique

Sunday in the Sun


My much planned home day yesterday didn't go to plan. The girls were getting tetchy by lunchtime and wanted to get out and enjoy the suns rays. The backyard just wasn't cutting it for them. So I got online and looked for a new playground we hadn't visited before. Kates days of playgrounds are numbered, so when she is keen we go.


The Woodbridge Riverside Park is set on the banks of the Swan River. It's only been opened a few shorts months, and is just fabulous!


There was a few keen people fishing and the girls suggested we come back another day with their rods.


The park was pretty busy today with the beautiful weather. It got rather hot though, lucky they have a pretty cool water play area where the kids cooled off.

The best place to be

There is play equipment for all ages, flying foxes (very popular!) swings, roundabouts, pirate ship and much more! Lots of picnic tables (which were mostly full with birthday parties) self-cleaning and locking toilets (which the girls loved!) All fully fenced.

The wooden tunnels were great to hide from the sun for a bit


The flying fox was popular and the girls had to line up for awhile!
Jonah would love this!

After the park, we headed to an ice cream parlour just up the road, delicious homemade ice cream (very expensive though!)

Ella has a mango/vanilla combo. After this photo we moved inside as it was too hot outside!

We got home just after 5pm, all a little bit weary from the sunshine! Hope you all had a happy Sunday too!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

Yesterday afternoon after we got home from the dance Christmas party the girls ordered me to take a nap (who was I to say NO!) so they could surprise me with something! I had a fair idea what it was, but played along anyway! After a little while I got up to the tree decorated for Christmas and plenty of photo's! The girls know me very well!
