Saturday

Phil went to work, Karen did washing and mowed lawns. Ali made bikkies and a Mother's Day present. Lily went for a bug hunt with Ali and together they tore the garden apart:-) This is Ali after Mum attacked her hair with the crimping tongs.

3 sleeps to go...

Getting better!

This is what Ali did to poor little Buddy while he was trying to sleep today.

Yesterday was a busy playcentre day, and today we were busy doing nothing (or at least achieving nothing). Here are the pictures and in a particularly adventurous move, video!

Four more sleeps til we leave for Australia.

Have I been that slack!

Wow, I got stuck doing the Playcentre newsletter, phone lists, term plans etc and used up all my spare 10 mins at the end of the day for a whole week.

Anyway, the kids are still alive. We've been enjoying the school holidays, visiting our friends and neighbours, going to the markets and hanging out at home. Ali still had daycare on Monday and our first Mainly Music for the term was today. The girls were both a bit shy after a two week break but they warmed up after a wee while. Ali helped plant flowers in the garden while Lily napped when we got home and then Ali went to Asher's house (next-door) to play.

Lily had lots of fun Mummy time to herself, jumping and tickling on the trampoline, swinging on Ali's swing and playing with Buddy. These pictures were taken on Monday while she was looking out the window to see if Dad was home.
