This week so far...

She loves it when she can play with Eli's toys! 

Today we went to Pipers Lagoon. I feel so very lucky to have lived here for almost five years. I walked along looking at the ocean and amazing views and felt so sad to be leaving our beautiful Island. I am most definitely an Ocean girl! 

I wish I had the camera with me and not just my phone.

We came across a snakes nest/den whatever it's called where lots of snakes live. These three were sunning themselves but if you looks carefully you can see more in the grass. There were TONS of them. Imogen wanted to pet the "cute snakeys". While I have been told countless times that they're harmless I am just not there yet with picking them up!!

The kids had the most fun "mountain climbing" they spent most of their time climbing up and down here!

Random Photos from my iPhone this week

Eli made this last week and wanted me to take a picture of it to send to his lego magazine!

On a walk (in the rain) with some friends. Imogen wouldn't turn around she kept saying "I doin' a dance"

Playing at the park at the end of our very long walk in the rain!

The walk was 5km and she walked more than half of it and she would have walked it all but I wouldn't let her!

I was trying to clean the house the other day and the kids were doing the usual "i'm bored" etc so I gave them some sensory dough to play with (flour mixed with baby oil and lavender) it smelled so good and felt really, really relaxing and good... But WHAT A DAFT IDEA...why in a million years did I think I would be able to clean up faster while they were doing this. I didn't get any shots of the end but let me tell you it covered the ENTIRE kitchen floor!

At the park with baby Maisey - her first time on the swings.

Another "smile kids"

My beautiful boy at the airport (in pyjamas) waiting for daddy to come home. (He had binoculars with him to watch for him coming!) He misses his daddy so much while he is away. Today he spent a good half hour crying about how much he hates it when daddy goes away as he always has to wait 5 days until he can hug him again :-(

 What I love about my kids is the bizarre things they do like playing singstar but they both have to be wearing glasses! This was them singing "barbie world" - their favourite song to sing at the mo'. I have videos that I will post this week. It's adorable!

A very large glass of delicious wine from our favourite farm!

There is a new kids used bookstore opened a few months ago that I finally got to go to (by myself!) this weekend. My goal is to eventually hunt out all the classics for the kids. I got these for $2 each. They are both really well used but in fairly good condition. I love, love, love used books. Charlottes web is an original edition print (1952) and Charlie and the Choclate factory is second edition. I know no-one cares except me but for some reason I much prefer original print books. There is something a bit magical about it :-)

Zachs birthday weekend - mammoth picture post!

We arrived and there was a fair at the mall...so of course we had to go on a few rides!

My grubby boy!

You can't really see but the blue car is driven by Zach and Im

Cutest goalie ever

The 4 Amigos

Must Be Holding Something All The Time No Matter Where We Are Going

Don't ya just wanna squish that cheeky face!

The sign of a good day playing outside!

Birthday Day!

The whole reason he wanted his party at this particular hall was so that he could ride these plasma cars!

Lounging at the back of the maze (that I went in and almost pulled down as I was way too big lol)

Seriously... "smile Eli" - and this is what I get!

Funniest thing ever watching Ben all on his own eating those tiny few cake crumbs on the (so very clean) table! He thoroughly enjoyed every teeny crumb!

Zach got a basketball hoop from Nana and Papa. It was very popular!

This child has no fear - she flung herself down that slide face first almost every time!

Such a fun day!

Just chill in' on my bike!

Going back home to our beautiful Island after a fantastic weekend of fun.
