Anyway.... Thursday afternoon, after picking up Jade from school we went to Mom and Dad's place (as per usual) for a cup of tea (and yes, even Jade has tea in her butterfly mug.... (which used to be my mug when I was a kid))...
Dad had said that we couldn't visit that day, and he was wanting to work on his motorbike to get it ready to go riding on Sunday with everyone... and Jade is a distraction.... and of course she was... she got him into the sandpit to build sandcastles with her.... he builds - she destroys!
Saturday morning we headed over to Mom and Dad's place again.... (it's the place to be!!!) Mom was on the phone and Jade wanted to say hi... so she got the phone and said hi... but pretty much didn't say anything else... and I'm sure she confused the lady on the other end of the phone... so after she got off the phone... we grabbed the other phone and turned on the intercom between the phones so that Jade could talk to mom... and wasn't confusing nice little old ladies! :)
Saturday afternoon was fun.... Jade only had a little sleep... (only just over an hour....) so she was still a little on the cranky side.... (she's still getting annoyed at the cough she's got.. but she's definitely on the road to recovery).... Anyway, she found a CD marker... (nice and permanent...) and started drawing all over herself.....
Sunday morning we headed around to Mom and Dad's place (can't we find somewhere new???) to visit Mom and Gran before heading over to see Damian, Jaime & Xander (oooh - we're going somewhere new!!!!)...
Jade enjoyed reading her books with GG and Gran.....
and then by herself.....
We then headed to Jaime's place to go bicycle riding... we're hoping that Jade will pick up on the enthusiasm if she gets to go riding with Xander..... they kept swapping bikes the entire way around... Jade's bike is heavier than Xander's but apparently easier to pedal... but they both happily changed bikes - so it wasn't a drama....

After following the bike path around the duckpond we finally made it to the play ground... so Jade and Xander quickly ditched the bikes and helmets and hit the play equipment.... we stayed here for ages until Rob phoned to say that he and Greg were on their way home from riding trials and they offered to pick up hamburgers for everyone for lunch.....
Jade pushing Xander on the swing... (this was interesting when he came back further than she expected... but she didn't fall over each time...)
After having lunch, we headed BACK to Mom and Dad's place so that Rob and Greg could work on doing up Greg's ute... there was a little more rust under the flooring than they had first expected... but nothing major.. so they took out the seats, ripped up the lining and went to work at cutting out the rust and bogging up the areas and then painting the rust killer stuff all over it... Greg seemed to enjoy working with the power tools... ehhe
Jade helped by keeping watch over the car seats while they were outside the car....
While waiting for bog to dry... Greg practised balancing his scorpa.... (Now Rob's really annoyed - because he can't balance like that....)
Then we got out the unicycle... I quickly showed Greg how to get up on it... and then left him to work it out himself..... you can't really tell in this picture... but his feet are actually off the ground... unfortunately because he has skiis for feet - it looks like it's touching the ground... but it's not.... (but don't kid yourselves... he didn't get the hang of this by the end of the day... but he'll get there..... and yes, he'll work it out before Rob manages too... ehehe)
