Jο»Ώust for something new… Willow is wandering around in her underwear <3
day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY | year FOUR | 2013
One
of Willow's friends moved to Canberra during the last school holidays,
but by the awesome power of technology, she doesn't have to lose
touch… how did we ever survive before the internet??
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
My photobooth minions… they helped me run my booth, and i kept them supplied in chips and softdrink!
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
Xanthia | 12 years
… with the long, lanky legs, and a style all her own <3
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Darci
is working away madly on her Yr12 Major Artwork (that is due in two
days!)… it is a mixed media triptych – and it is AWESOME! I can't wait
to see it finished!
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
Xanthia | 12 years
Just two more weeks before she becomes a teenager… God help us all!
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
So, I asked them all to get on the bed for a Father's Day photo… should I have been more specific?
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY THREE | year FOUR | 2013
Apparently, talking to the new boyfi requires her to sit outside on the water tanks… it's not like we'd listen in… much.
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
Xan
worked very hard on this project… if you blow in the tube (the
trachea) at the top, the left hand lung actually inflates! She gets that
creative streak from me, you know… who says she's adopted?? π
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
I
had Emmett shaved last week (we are in prime tick land, and I just
couldn't check him properly through his double coat)… but then the
temps at night dropped and he was cold… so I have been making him
sleep inside even though he actually prefers to sleep outside (strange
dog). But tonight I think he finally found a sleeping spot he is
satisfied with… just don't tell my ranga π
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Yesterday it was sock-puppets… today it's birthday invitations! Never a dull (or peaceful) moment around here!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
We
spent part of the afternoon making Willow's 'act' for Camp Idol… she
doesn't leave for camp for a couple of weeks – but this HAD to be done
TODAY!… so a You Tube video, a hot glue gun, some bits and bobs and
only one minor burn (to me ) and 'he who is yet to be named' was born!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
This is my clean-up crew from today's cake smash session… and they did a damn fine job!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Xanthia | 12 years
After being so small for so long, Xan has had quite the growth spurt
this year… she is still smallish, compared to her peers, but her hands
and feet are almost the same size as mine now!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY THREE | year FOUR | 2013
'Howdy Cowboy!'… my spunky Willow all dressed up for Book Week <3
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
Emmett is practicing his 'Playdog' pose while Lou (from Tails and Whiskers) clips him naked!… yep, he is starkers now – it's the most hilarious thing ever!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY | year FOUR | 2013
This
Sunday morning was soooo lazy, that I rang the house using my mobile
phone from bed, and ordered room service… Willow delivered my
breakfast; my ranga brought a cuppa… and the other three just came in
to take up space and watch my tv… there are actually five of us on
this bed right now.
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
This
computer is meant to be for all the kids to play games on… but
somehow, Darci has claimed it as her own… and made modification to
suit (note the top screen with FB on it… and the mic in front of her to talk to all the other gamer freaks).
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
My Widget at hockey training… she found 'her' spot – Goalkeeper it is!
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
As the sun was setting on today's 23 degree winter's day, the storm clouds started rolling in.
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
I challenge you NOT to smile at my gorgeous girls <3
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
It
was Willow's turn to don the goal-keeper gear today… she wasn't keen,
and her first half (where the opposition scored 4 goals) convinced me
that she wasn't hiding any hidden super-goalie powers…
…
but apparently she just needed to warm up! In the second half,
Super-Goalie appeared… and she was on fire!! NO more goals scored!
WooHoo!!
day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
Awww… my sleeping beauties… out like a light on the couch <3
day TWO HUNDRED and EIGHTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
Emmett was the biggest dog at the park… though Bronson there, came close!
day TWO HUNDRED and SIXTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
Xanthia
was helping Darci with one of her Yr12 film projects… Darci directed
and starred… Xan welded the camera… I see Academy Awards on the
horizon!
day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
They
were intently watching … Dr Who! Where did I go wrong?? (and don't
ask me to explain the weirdo in the middle, because I just can't!)
day TWO HUNDRED and ELEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Another Xanthia creation… she makes the fondant from scratch!… what a Cake Boss!
day TWO HUNDRED and TEN | year FOUR | 2013
Zeus as claimed this beanbag as his own… and he thinks if he doesn't look at me, then I can't kick him off π
day TWO HUNDRED and NINE | year FOUR | 2013
So,
these two made a discovery today – mum and dads bed has an electric
blanket! Once they figured that out, there was no evicting them!…
despite the fact that it was way too hot (note Xan's leg sticking out!),
they settled in for the afternoon!
day TWO HUNDRED and EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
This is a pretty impressive backdrop for Xan's hockey game this morning – where her team kicked butt, I might add π … Queensland State Hockey Centre
day TWO HUNDRED and SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Dexter
just wanted to make sure that the can was actually empty… and of
course I wasn't waiting – camera in hand – for him to get his head
stuck! That would be a horrible, and not at all hilarious, thing to do π
day TWO HUNDRED and FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
These
two have taken over a corner of my lounge room… despite having
bedrooms of their own!! … it's like I have squatters in there!
day TWO HUNDRED and FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Daddy's home!! (not that he has been anywhere… just to work… i don't get a reception like this when I get home!)
day TWO HUNDRED and THREE | year FOUR | 2013
She should be asleep… she should have been asleep a long time ago π
day TWO HUNDRED and TWO | year FOUR | 2013
Willow's face-painting fun… she really wanted the design, but the dinosaur HAD to be pink… lol!
day TWO HUNDRED and ONE | year FOUR | 2013
β« Who's the leader of the band that comes to you and me… M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E β«
This is Xan's grungy take on the Main Mouse, for a 'Disney' themed birthday party <3
(fun fact: that's Xan's own hair – tied into two buns and hair-sprayed black!)
