We all too turns to decorate the tree, Dad did the lights and kids decorated until they got bored and Mum finished it off. Pretty much the same as last year!

The local wildlife
Here are some photos taken from around our house of some local inhabitants.
Our resident turtle that we then took down to the river and released back into 'the wild'.
/>A dragon fly down by the vegie garden.
Our kookaburra, a recent regular we can see from our deck.
A praying mantis (?) who we found in a bucket and let go into the garden.
Some monkey's released from the zoo for a while

We're camping in the rain!
So in bright sunshine we headed off to Warburton for a camping long weekend. Shorts and t-shirts was the dress code and all seemed fine - surely the weather forecast was going to be wrong! Unfortunately for us the weather forecast was not wrong and we did indeed receive gail force winds and pouring rain on Saturday. We managed to baton down the hatches for the night but when we woke and there were puddles inside the tent (coming up from the floor rather than a leaking roof line) we decided it may be time to pack up shop and head home. The kids had a fantastic time regardless and even though it wasn't really long enough the grown ups had a 'relaxing' (as much as you can camping with young children) time too.

This is the way we wash our kids on a cold and frosty morning...

Happy 7th B'day Abigail
Abi had a wonderful 7th b'day celebrated by an old fashioned home party with pass the parcel, a treasure hunt, parachute games and of course some craft (as well as some Lux soap sensory time!). As dressing up is still a big part of play at our house it was only fitting to have a dress up party. There were some great costumes ranging from policeman, rock stars, spider man and of course princesses, fairies and queens. So with the party over all that is left is to find space for the multitude of presents and figure out how to deal with the attitude of a big 7 yr old!
Random Photos
Just a few random shots from around the place. 
The kids were very excited about their tall tower that was bigger than Daddy.
Emily and the dinosaurs.
