day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
It
turns out, this was the only photo I took today… Xan and her dodgy
Miley Cyrus impersonation …
(I had to include the original, so that when I
look back on this in 20 years time, I will understand what the hell is
going on!)
Nailed it Xanthia!
day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
A
beautiful, beautiful friend gave these to me today… and she wanted to
make it clear… she didn't give them to me 'just because'… it was
actually because "I am amazing"… and who am I to argue? <3 <3 <3
day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
Willow
and I were waiting at the Shopping Center for Darci and Xan to knock
off school… what else were we to do to fill in time?
day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
I was attracted to this scene by the following conversation:
Ranga (playing the child): I really want this!
Willow (playing the mum): No, you can't have that.
Ranga: But I reaaaaaalllly want it… it was always my dreeeeam!
Willow: No, you can't have that one, you can have this one.
Ranga: But I don't want THAT one… I ALWAYS wanted THIS one!
Willow:Alright, alright… you can have this one
Ranga: I don't want this one. I want that one.
(Bwhahahaha… payback truly is a bitch!)

What i learned while taking this photo – Emmett will sit still for a

obedience!

Darci's
18th birthday party… we set up a movie theatre in the back yard…
there were lollies, and pizza, and party pies, and cake, and movies and
insect repellent… I think it is safe to say, it was a huge success… I
love it when a plan comes together!
day TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Less
than 24 hour till the party and Zoe, Darci and Maddie are testing out
the backyard movie theatre while playing the 'Lord of the Rings Drinking
Game' … makes a mother proud 😉
day TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
…and just like that – she was an adult.
(wearing the Chewbacca dressing gown she got for her birthday – so 'physically' an adult, but 'mentally'…??)

Believe
it or not, despite playing different games on separate devices, the
conversation between these two was flowing… I'm not sure they were
actually talking or listening to each other… but they were talking!
lol

Day one of the school holidays… they sat in the bath in their bathers for over an hour, blowing huge bubbles to each other <3

Xan's 13th Birthday!
Today, most of our Victorian family arrived for a holiday, so we
decided to go out to dinner to celebrate Xan and Darci's birthdays
(Darci's 18th is just a couple of weeks away!)… I took them to the
Cheescake Shop and let them pick half a cake each, which we turned into a
Mega Birthday Cake!… Xan chose a choc-chip cheesecake, and Darci
chose a choc mud cake… yum!
day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Tonight we had Xan's NEON 13th birthday party… blacklight, neon clothes and glowsticks galore! Awesome fun!
