Time Flies When You are Having Fun....

Well yes, it has been a long time between posts and I am still getting the hang of this blogging thing, but that is not an indication of lack of adventures or goings on around here!!  

Just where to start??!!

Playgroup is our new Monday morning routine.  We drop Miller off at school and then take a leisurely walk to visit our new friends.  Oobi and Lara have made some lovely little friends and so have I!  Lara is like the mother duck, she organises the "little" ones, reads stories, arranges the theme of their play for the day and leads the merry crew for the morning.  The little ones follow her every word and action intently and really do seem to enjoy her plans for them.

Be My Valentine........
We had a small Valentines celebration here...I am so grateful every day for my gorgeous Husband and all that he does for our family and do try to make a point in one way shape or form each day to recognise this amazing guy, but it was still fun to get the Kiddlies involved in preparing a yummy meal to have outside, to make a valentine's craft and to share a bit more love around!

Farm visit
A visit to the Collingwood Children's farm, was a huge hit with us all.  We headed off for a morning on the farm and took the opportunity to engage with the animals and frolic through the grounds.  Lara and Carter could not get enough!  The kids fed the animals and patted them and learnt a lot about farm life.  A perfect morning for the Little People...and Big ones too!

Mid-Summer Love


How much do I love Summer?

::Togetherness

::  I have so much love for these three!


A lot!  

We have been making the most of midsummer in Melbourne, visiting friends, beach frolicking, sightseeing, enjoying the company of family and each other.  It has been so relaxing and the last couple of weeks has brought the most glorious weather....even if today may be a little on the HOT side.  

With Dean back at work, the next few weeks will see us catching up with school friends for plays, a lot of crafting and fun at home and maybe a few adventures tucked in here or there...a lot of Mummy fun!!  We will also be spending the Australia day weekend in Flinders with friends....can't wait!!
