Rudd to challenge Gillard

So the girls are enjoying lego at the moment, and are always telling stories with the people as they build their homes. They are also really good at packing away into the purple lego bin.

Their favourite characters are:

Julia

KRudd

Penny Wong.

So when Mum and Dad were talking about how KRudd is challenging Julia and what a monumental folly it is, what a stunt to make the declaration all the way from Washington in the middle of the night etc, Beatrix got all concerned: "But Mum, KRudd is back in his box!"

We wish, Beatrix, we wish.

First day of term

First day back at school - Beatrix, Harper, Mum and Lily. 1 February 2012

Harper with Gran, who made our lovely new owl dresses.

Goal!

We started back at sports today with Sandy - no sooner had she said Ready Steady Go than we were off! Mum's concerns that we may have been reticent to participate were proved to be without foundation as we took to the field/court/gym with gusto. We sang the song, did the stretches, and kicked like Ronaldo!

Peddlar woman

The esteemed guest at our Aus Day celebrations, one Miss Sarah Turner, spent much of the afternoon as the peddlar woman out of Snow White, tormented by the four princesses. We love playing with you Sarah!
