Naked

M: Lily, do you want to be nudie rudie for a while before we put your PJs on?
l: No, me naked.

Uncle Nick

Uncle Nick came to visit for 5 days and we had a wonderful time! But we think that we tired him out a bit what with all the playing, climbing, walking and reading. He should start training for his next visit NOW!

What a wonderful day we had playing with Sarah and Nially at Carss Park on 16 January 2010! But in this photo it looks like they were having more fun playing with each other!
Lily is not amused.

Brunch

After a morning at the beach we had brunch at Brighton, 9 January 2010.

After enjoying our banana smoothie we tormented our parents by ignoring the pancakes and eggs they had ordered, and insisted on sausages. This is how happy we were after we had eaten them.

Laughing so much it hurts

Night at the museum

On a rainy public holiday Monday in the school holidays were we crazy to take the girls to the Australian Museum? Not if you stay away from the dinosaurs...
28 December 2009

Had a great time. Not so interested in the kid-specific "Amazing Backyard" exhibition but loved the fauna section, esp the snakes, lizards and crocodile (all live).
