Pre-school - The Dress Rehearsal

After visiting the pre-school Molly will be attending next year, she was so excited about going that we decided to start her early.
We went shopping for all the necessary supplies.
Backpack, lunch box and Nanny made a special preschool sheet.
Molly was so excited that she got herself all ready a few days early.
We'll just call it the dress rehearsal.
Did I mention that she is excited?

Relaxin'

Max knows how to take it easy!

Here he is kicking back and watching his beloved Thomas the Tank Engine.

My Gorgeous Kids

Bunnings

Who would have thought a trip to the hardware store with Daddy could be so much fun!

Painting at Home

Molly has been asking for ages to do some painting so we took advantage of Max having a long nap and went for it. It was nowhere near as messy as I thought it would be and Molly had a great time.

Decisions, Decisions

What do you do on a hot day when you can't decide between jumping on the trampoline and going for a dip in the paddling pool?





Simple!




You do both




at the same time!

Molly, Ben and Max had an absolute HOOT!

Don't you just love Molly with the floatie! I am proud to report that the very next day she swam in a very deep pool with her floatie. That was a big step for Molly who has been really afraid of pools up until now.

After a while Max decided to take it a bit easy.

It was one of those great afternoons you wish didn't have to end.

Young Artists in the Making

Drawing has become a popular past time in this house.

Molly is a recent convert to drawing and has stopped insisting that everyone else draw things for her. This is the first drawing she has done of a face with eyes. It is quite a leap from the scribbles she was doing just the week before. It also has glasses and very sticky-outy ears!

Molly tells us this is an echidna. I was impressed!

Maybe it is watching Molly draw so much that has developed a love of drawing in Max. He adores drawing with chalk in the back yard.

He really gets into it!

Unfortunately he doesn't limit his drawing to the concrete.

Anything is fair game!

Even Mummy's trousers!

Our Backyard

After a month long blogging hiatus we are back with lots of photos. Here are some of the kids enjoying the backyard and the sunshine yesterday afternoon.

When your big sister is blocking the doorway,there is more than one way to enter a cubby house!

Meeting Sienna

Last Thursday we finally got to meet the beautiful Sienna. She is 6 weeks old.

We met up at Jamie's house with Kris, Lynn and the kids.
As you can see the weather wasperfect and the setting divine!

Here are Eliza and Max.

Max took a liking to the mini tramp.

and Jet's Thomas train.

So many trains and so little time! Max was right at home in Jet's new bedroom.
