Cross Country Athlete

Benny competed in his intra-school cross country carnival last month. He definitely inherited his less-than-dazzling athletic ability from his mother but luckily he's got a gorgeous disposition and never gave up. Forgive his strained smile, the photo was taken with a minute of his one kilometre odyssey.

Budding Photographer

Here's the photo of Annabel that Ben took at the park today. I think he's going to be a photographer! He's such a beautiful big brother - it's lovely to watch.

Long Haired Lady

Look how long Annabel's hair is getting! She had it in a ponytail tonight....she's growing up so quickly.

Acting!

I enrolled Ben in after school drama this term and he absolutely LOVED it! They put on a production of 'Aladdin' and Ben played Jafar (the evil Uncle). He was amazing - remembered most of his lines and said them all really clearly and loudly. He's growing up to be such a beautiful and amazing boy - I couldn't have been more proud of him.

His Daddy's Boy

Charlie and I spent over an hour this morning sitting in the car watching a construction site. He had the best morning!

Horrible Bird

Poor Annabel was attacked by a magpie this afternoon. I had just taken Ben's fingerbun off her and a magpie came and tried to take it off me. When I screamed and hit it off it went for Annabel (obviously I screamed and hit even more) but it got some nasty scratches onto her beautiful forehead. Poor sausage. (Sidenote: was a great lesson for Ben in how to be brave hahaha - he would have cried for waaaaay longer than she did!)

Nits!

Oh the joys of having kids in school/daycare!! Both boys hate being treated but Charlie is way worse. They're fine at this stage but when it comes to washing it out.......bedlam!

Annabella Ballerina

Little Annabel loves her tutu - and loves showing it off to people even more! She's everyone's favourite prima ballerina.

Little Monkeys

As the boys get older there are obviously more disputes and general sibling crankiness. That's why moments like these need to be captured!

Swimming Lessons

This is the first term that I don't have to hop in pool with Charlie. I paid for group classes but no one else booked his time slot so he gets private lessons all term. Bonus!

Beach Babies

The kids loved a recent trip to the beach - lots of fun exploring the shoreline to see what had washed up!

Just Like Daddy

Annabel is much more interested in the tomato sauce than the chips. Remind you of anyone??

Easter Tastes

First taste if Easter - thank you Grandad and Sue! xx

Creepy Crawlies!

The boys both had the dreaded NITS this week. Charlie wore the mousse well though, wouldn't you agree?

Helping Sue

We visited Grandad and Sue on the farm for Grandad's birthday - the kids had a wonderful time!

Chuffed Charlie

After WEEKS of Charlie asking if he could please go to Easter (he would point to the Easter page on the family calendar and say "I want to go to Easter right now") he finally got to crack out the first chocolate of the season. Happy boy!!

Up mummy?

Annabel looking for a cuddle - who could resist?

April Fools Prankster

Little Annabel played a good prank today - emptying the contents of the bathroom drawers into last night's bath. April Fools Mummy!!
