mini golf

After all the rain of these school holidays the sun came out on Thursday for a very brief few hours, Austin and I took our chance and went to play mini golf at Pirates Mini Golf . Check out his skills in the video, must have got them from his mother . . .



I beat you mum, nah nah nah na na (not hard though)



after drought comes flood

watch out - 30 posts coming up in one day, its definitely going to be a record . . .

brotherly love . . .

there's nothing like sympathy from your brother when you're upset to really calm you down . . .

Grandma and Grandpa's Park

Whenever we go to Mum and Dad's house the kids are automatically drawn to the park which is right next door. They beg to go down there to play (what kids wouldn't?), and each time we do I can't help but be transported back to my childhood and all the games Linda and I and the other neighbourhood kids played in the exact same places that my own children are playing in. Sure the equipment is different but the games all seem to be pretty much the same...

So excited to eventually make it up the chain ladder

Sydney Family Show

Ok so it did stop raining in the holidays long enough for us to fit in a quick visit to the Sydney Family Show at Moore Park with Caroline, Riley and Noah. It's a much smaller version of the Easter Show with rides, showbags and an animal farm but it's the perfect size for little ones, you can do it all in 2 hours as opposed to the whole day affair of the Easter show, which I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for . . .

Mummy is a scaredy cat so Cazzie had to go on this with Austin



my daredevil loving the swinging chairs, this doesn't look high but it really is

the boys concentrating hard controlling the model trains



housebound holidays

So Austin's first school holidays are over and what did we do, not much really. 

All those plans we had . . . ruined by sick kids the first few days and then rain rain and more rain (and not just rain but crazy torrential, can't go anywhere kind of rain).

Yay for going back to school, there's only so much craft, books, boardgames, play-doh, baker baker, tv and movies a girl can take!

...to look on the bright side though I must just be very thankful we were in a nice spacious house rather than a pokey unit...

crazy kids

Sometimes all you can do is laugh . . .

 


lily was bathed, in her jammies and all ready for bed and then while I was distracted she decided to jump back in the bath with Austin but didnt bother taking her jammies off - not the first time she's done it either

 



another example of the Hulley kids who fall asleep anywhere and in any position, he really was completely gone to the world
