Shelly Park

A lovely morning with the family Isaacs at Shelly Park - Dashiel is growing so fast!

We had a lovely swim at the baths (sea slugs, star fish, crabs) and then played in the park. Harper and Dash.

Mermaids

And then after class we went to this really big shed where there were all these amazing old doors, windows, and whole staircases in the middle of nowhere. Mum saw lots of things she liked. Now she just needs the house to fit them in! But we still didn't find what we're looking for.

The old haunts

Today we went back to one of our old haunts, Jubilee Park. We loved coming here when we were crawling adn toddling, and proved today that it is still fun when you are ALMOST FOUR! Harper and Mr Fox Lily feeding Snow White - good to see that the local community is supportive of breastfeeding in public!

Having a 'cino after a hard morning's play - H, L and B.

Beatrix takes Ariel for a swing While Harper takes Mr Fox on the slide. Friday 4 November 2011.

Julia (aka the PM)

Dad and the girls picked me up from work tonight after having fish & chips by the beach.

As we drove out of the city who should we pass leaving the Governor's residence in car C1 but the Prime Minister!

I waved and said "Hello Julia" and she waved back.

Beatrix said "That was a funny car Julia was driving". Classic.

Remembrance Day - Friday, 11.11.11

Watching The Tale of Desperaux

Scrapes and bruises

I was getting out of the shower at 6.42am this morning and heard a yell and then crying. They're awake!

What's wrong, I ask
Harper replies: It's not fair! Lily says she has more sores than me and she doesn't!

Editors note: only scrapes, not infectious!

Spooky Halloween!

Here is our spooky pumpkin! And here are our spookiest faces ever! 31 October 2011

What we grow

Bees

Harper very proud of what her watering has produced

The sweetest of peas.

Waterplay

Harper is obviously holding water in her mouth. I turn away, shaking my head.

Then she says: Mum I was just putting my finger in my mouth to see if it was like a swimming pool and some of the water came out and squirted me in the eye!

Halloween

New shoes

New shoes brought 2 surprises:
1. Lily has caught up to Harper now size 9.5
2. Beatrix has overtaken and is now a size 10!

Since when did kids feet become bigger than age?

When the girls were mere apples...
