Today Willow used her baby-of-the-family wiles and puppy dog eyes to convince me to let her purchase THIS with her birthday money… and at only $30 from Costco, it was a very hard argument to win!

Hangin' out on the balcony with my Widget… every time i look at her, I see a little less of my bubba and a little more tween… but that can't be right… right?
day THREE | year FIVE | 2014
Xanthia wanted blue hair… so I gave her blue hair… the attitude was all hers 😉

We said goodbye to Zoe today She headed back to the Gold Coast tonight to get ready for the new uni year… and to see her boyfriend, of course.
(saying goodbye was way more brutal than I expected – I'm so not ready for my girls to be leaving the nest! :'( )
