The kids making the most of the tent, (but slept inside the house!!!)

lucy in the couch

I don't fit the couch either Narly
(mind you it would help if the cushions were on the seat, they were spread on the ground to prevent bruises!)

second week of holidays

now into the second week of the holidays, and keeping busy.


You guessed it, back at the market to see the fairies last Sunday...

















then chilling out having a sandwich


















followed by picnic in the gardens with Phil and Michelle, Jasmine and Amber. (Ella on camera duty for these few pics)
































say cheese Lucy, OK!










Ella loves going around to Isaac's place to feed and look after the chooks, (as they are on holiday) and to check if they have laid any more eggs, along with a quick play in his cubby house etc.


















today we all went to the museum for a play, Ella enjoyed looking at the T-Rex bones, and touching the ice wall in the Antarctic section. Followed by a picnic on the lawn, and several games, including 'what's the time Mr Wolf...'




















Penguin-1, Ella, Sophia, Penguin-2, Matthew and Jenny.










nearly as tall as the penguin Ella...

picnic

You wouldn't guess who took a tumble off this very couch yesterday, but back on it again, cheeky as ever...












The walk to town, one of those irresistible walls that just has to be walked on






























Roll down the hill games, we've all done it, there is no denying it










Jenny Sophia Ella & Penny
















Lucy, trying hard to keep up with the 4yr olds...
(this grass is irrigated and stays this green and healthy all year round, although Adelaide is starting to green up in other places around the city, thanks to the few brief showers of rain we have had over the last few weeks. Also in a few weeks time the pipes will be finished and in place to bring processed waste water back from the treatment plant at the coast to irrigate the rest of the green spaces around the central city, see link here for more info)

Jasmine and Amber

Today we had Jasmine and Amber around for the afternoon (and dinner), we all went for a walk to the park and then I had two helpers putting toppings on Pizza's for dinner... little chef Ella and Little chef Jasmine....
then all the girls had a bubble bath together...

lucy at the table tonight

Kindy art work



















Mum and Dad had to go to the Kindy art show and purchase the art work at the end of the term... (Fundraising...)
We needed some Grandparents to come to the art show to increase the bidding!!!!

Ella the fairy at Sophia's party













A day out in the shops with Mum.














Not up to much over Easter, Angela has work 2 out of the 4 days so we are not going away. Ella had her dance class today (Saturday) and then we have a 2 year old party to go to for Hannah on Monday. Sunday will no doubt be charged with Chocolate...
(Does a candle in an Easter Egg count as a birthday cake Uncle Narly???)
