time for a facial darling

need I say any more.
where does Rose get this from???

I can hear again!

Post a swim with the girls last Thursday my Left ear blocked, I then helpfully pushed a cotton bud in the ear to try to unblock it, and proceeded to really block it...
anyway finally 4 days later, I got the plug out after trying ear candles, poking other things in there, lots of olive oil, and eventually jetting warm water up the canal with a syringe did the trick.
lesson learned, don't jam cotton buds up your ear hole... (well not if you have a big load of wax up there just waiting to be log jammed against the ear drum...)
downside: I'll be able to hear Lucy tonight when she wakes up...

not preforming for you dad

It just gos to show you can't get kids to repeat the cute stuff on cue... Lucy was tearing around thismorning on the hobby horse that Ella made at kindy this week, only when you ask her to do it on camera... no, ditch that toy and go do something else..




and yum chops for dinner... the neighbours happened to be within smelling distance at dinner time so joined us for some finger licking chewing on chops...

cancelled swim lessons and barbie

a busy day today which involved me getting to work at 7.30, shuffling kids around to allow Ang to get to work at 8, and then me back to take Ella to kindy at just after 8, then a ride over to the hospital to get the car back, time at the playground with Lucy and the neighbours boys, (everyone got at least one bruise) then pick up Ella from Kindy.
From there to swim lessons, only to arrive and find out they had been cancelled due to the pools being too cold. That couldn't stop us, Ella had her mind set on a swim, regardless of how cold, so in we went Ella me and Lucy, till Lucy's chin-o-meter started shivering so much the others in the pool were looking at me sideways... time to get out!!!
Lucy had a sleep, Ella played with vet Barbie for a while.
Then we set up the tent play house outside, and moved the play oven and tea set in, and Ella set up a lovely tea party for me and Lucy.
Bath time was cut short by Lucy and a certain bodily function that should be reserved for on the loo! (no photos required...) and now they are both in bed asleep.
Rain forecast for tomorrow, so may not get out to the A& P show, unless the sun comes out...

Ella's Zoo

Ella has just been busy using all the blocks to make a zoo. check out how tall the Giraffe is!!!

some more from the trip home

Whale watching at Victor Harbour, south of Adelaide.
the right whales come right in close to shore in the spring, and usually with calves. great viewing right from the beach, or the nearest rocks.




Cant whale watch without some fish and chips on the beach...

Me Lucy, Ella Isaac Annelise and Sally-anne, after I had been playing Golf on a course where you had to 'shoo' the kangaroos off the fairway as you went round!!!
The lake at Mt Gambia. there is also a great garden set in a sink hole (limestone)

Lucy the adventurer

slack

yeah I know.
So what has been on in the last week.
Well it was a busy weekend up north for us, I've been to conference in Tauranga Fri/sat/sun, and Ang and the girls took the opportunity to head on up to see Grandma and Barry.





The Girls had a ball playing on the beach...

The weekend before that we went cycling down the Tuki Tuki, Ella tried using her face as the brakes...
Not a happy girl at the time, but has recovered, and since been back on the bike...

Last Tuesday, the girls had a fun day on the farm while I went docking.

there you go, an update at last....
