Yay for the weekend

Mmmmm choc chip pancakes with banana and ice-cream - pretty good, and they taste even better when the kids make them.


 


Yesterday we went to town and did all the usual groceries and a once around Bunnings for a new toilet seat and a load of seedlings for the garden.  Ali decided to give Lily a piggy-back at the supermarket and carried her for a couple of aisles, luckily without incident.

 The chooks and lambs have been facing one another down lately.  The chooks are quite keen on sheep nuts (pellets) and steal them out of my hand as I am feeding the lambs.  Then they go scavenging for any the sheep have dropped while the sheep bunt them away.  When they are on opposite sides of the fence they often stand nose to beak just checking on another out.  I am so curious as to what they could be thinking.

 Ali must have been reading a very sad story for Lily when I snapped these ones...

 but Lily cheered up immensely when she found an avocado seed behind the sofa!

Back to the beach

We went to the beach for a playcentre trip today.  Lily was running and jumping in the chilly water for the longest time enjoying her first swim of the summer.  There were lots of other kids there but Lily was just doing her own thing.

Weekend trip to the big smoke.

Last weekend we gave the chooks and the lambs a giant feed and headed down to the big smoke.  Although the camera was in my bag the whole time somehow it never made it out to take a photo.  So for the sake of posterity here are the great shots I missed - 

• Delia's severed thumb a week late for halloween
• Delia's delicious waffles
• Buddy and Delia's dog Fraggle playing nicely in the yard
• Ali, Ava, Cade and Cian rough-housing nicely in the yard
• Lily and Ali scoffing cake at their great-grandmother, Oma Mary's house
• Oma Mary's cat strategically ignoring the dog 
• Oma Mary - looking well
• Opa Theo's surprise when he woke to find us visiting
• Opa Theo scoffing cake
• The kids driving everyone at the markets nuts with their birdwhistles
• All the great junk at the markets
• Le Creuset pot for $12
• Anita from down the road bumping into us at the deep fried banana pancake caravan
• The deep fried banana pancake man
• Parvan's mother still selling the pork buns - Lily especially liked these, buns with meat
• Opa Noel at Bunnings
• Granny Rosie drinking tea
• Lovey and Mooney when we got home

Sometimes

Sometimes Lily wants to look right inside the camera

Sometimes the children make me laugh

Sometimes I wonder how many pictures of the kids I have to take before I get a good one...

Sometimes I wonder why there are no strawberries in my strawberry patch,  sometimes I wonder where all the flowers from my garden got to...?
