School Holidays are here!

 Friday 16th September

Off to the property for the weekend to kick off the first week of the kids school holidays.... Rob was still in the USA, so the kids and I headed down there and met up with Mom and Dad (who took them back to Bundy for the following week).


Honey loves camping!



Family (mostly) selfie!


Mom and Dad enjoying Honey Soy Chicken Wings...


And then..... Marshmallow time! (just for something - completely - different)






It was a crazy busy night - and then Jade fell asleep in her camp chair.....
(they really are THAT comfy!)

Saturday 17th September

Time to do some clearing..... 


And of course, Mom attacks herself to try to get out of the heavy lifting! ;)


Honey & Betty helping... I mean... resting....


While Blake was busy playing with Honey, Dad was busy filling his jeans with twig bits..... he didn't even notice....



Ride Time!





Riding with Grandpa is fun... Follow-the Leader is even better when they can make him make a mistake!



Crazy faces... well, all except for Grandpa! ;)


Somone's a tad bit dirty!


Blake came a gutster off his bike.... and ended up giving himself a decent scratch..... (and later, a bruise)





It is a little bit sad and grumpy!


Lucky he's tough!





And then it's time to glow......




They look better with a flash....  but then you lose the glow.....  Can't win!


And here is the woodpile we made from all of the clearing we managed to get done during the day....



Sunday 18th September

New area that was all cleared....  we got to a point at the top where we stopped as we found the Bush Turkey Nest - and it was looking fairly active... so we decided to leave it be for now.....










The kids loved playing on the logs up the hill....






Honey came up to see what all the fuss was about...





And then it was time to let the kids head to Bundy and I headed home to get ready for the next week at work....

Central Concert 2016

Thursday 15th September

It's concert night.... this year was nice and simple for Jade's class.... because they went in school uniform and did a "classroom" skit :)

Blake's costume was definitely easier than his previous years with the Magpie (2015) and the Frog (2014).....




Hot Glue Gun is out..... must be getting close to school concert time!

Monday 12th September

School concert time again.... this time Blake's needing to be a cat.... easy enough.... but the only "ears" I can find at Kmart are lacy.... and for some reason, this does not thrill Blake.....



So, it has to be fixed.......  material sewn around the metal frame should do the trick nicely...



and then some pink inner-ear bits....


And we're done!




The rest of his costume was simply re-using the Cat in the Hat tail that I'd made for Jade's bookweek costume a few years ago...

February - Slumber Party Roller Disco

Friday 10th February PJ Party Time! Jade had arranged with her friend that they'd go in onesies to the disco.....  so tha...
