These Are a Few of my Favourite Things................

Cute little kisses and rubbing of noses
Chats between cousins
And bright coloured ponies
scenes through the looking glassPlaying with friends
These are a few of my favourite things!

Playing with puppies
And playing with sisters
Driving the tractor
and standing on Grandad

Time spent togetherAnd cute little grins
These are a few of my favourite things

Looking so serious
And a great big ole smile

Pushing the pushy thing
Sitting on my knee

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad

JUST HANGING OUT TOGETHER
MY FAVOURITE THING :)

Things Go Better in Threes

While Jaime was interstate on job training we had three little vegemites for the week!
That meant I needed to be three times more organised!

3 x lunches.

3 x drink bottles.

3 x bags packed.

3 x homework.

Baie was totally autonomous - with a little help required occasionally.
Tulle was focussed on counting to 1000 in tens!
Rori had help from Grandad with her sight words.

...and the lettr 'f'.
Big sister leant a hand because girls hair x 3 was my biggest stress :)


3 times the FUN!


VALENTINES DAY


Thanks to the efforts of our romantic girls, Valentines Day dinner was all the more special.

We had gorgeously decorated personalised table settings!

A valentines letter for each of us....
And Jaime made the most deliciousest Toblerone mousse with strawberries and personalised with the first letter of our names and little love hearts.

I couldn't think of a better way to spend valentines day!!

Steve's Campaign Launch

Though Steve has been in campaign mode for some time now, the official launch took place recently in the Penola Room of the Gambier.

On the night my photography was rather ordinary, but his speech was inspirational! We were very proud :)


Steve with "Izzy" Isobel Redmond, currently leader of the opposition, hopefully soon leader of our state government, also an inspirational speaker, and a real nice lady!


With the guy who organised the evening at the Gambier end.Last but not least the beautiful family.

Turning 5 Continues


.....with a pool party!
It started off cool, so Adam and Nash didn't stay in for long.
But it soon warmed up and the kids had a great time.
Lots of presents all in pink.
Friends and Family and..
It's FUN being FIVE!

5

Turning 5 is pretty special!
Mum makes cupcakes for you and the kids in your class.

You get a # 5 candle.
Daddy tries to make a # 5 with smarties on each cupcake and decides it's a dumb idea after 1 cupcake - the kids don't mind much anyway!

The birthday girl has the BIGGEST cupcake.

Shares with the class.

Puts on her new party dress - from Auntie Carol and Rob. Can apply her own make up now - she's 5!Willingly shares her chocolates with Daddy.............

'Cos it's her birthday and she's 5!

RORI'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

She looked adorable with pigtails and beautiful blue ribbons in her hair!

Her big sisters looked adorable too.
In fact they were jumping for joy to be starting school again!


Well, one was jumping for joy and the other was rather coy!Here Rori and her class are on their little orientation walk around the school with teacher.
And about to enter my office to be introduced to us all.
Rori didn't need much orientating - she knows her way around the campus as well as anyone :)
