my gorgeous Xanthia… singing with her school choir at the Seymour Christmas Carols… we had to revert to the wet weather plan and have the carols in a hall… it was hot and muggy… but Xan had an audience and that was all that mattered!

I don't know how many more of these photos my girls are going to tolerate for me… so I am making the most of it!

Does Darci look like she might be well and truely over my photo-a-day project??… I am thinking she might be!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and thirty-five
Darci couldn't make up her mind which award to take home this year… so she took TWO! The Mother Maurice Citizenship Award (for the THIRD time!!), and the Seymour Arts Society Award… WooHoo!

I have been trying to get to bed earlier these days… without much success… and this is generally what I find when I get there… the ranga fast asleep in the bed… and Zeus fast asleep on the floor (you can just see his ear sticking up, lol)

Xan on the 'Giant Swing' at Phillip Island… she was 18 metres in the air when she pulled that rope and released herself!! She was much braver than me!!

Zoe and Darci… all dressed up for Sophie's 'Hollywood Glamour' 21st birthday party!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and fourteen
My baby turned EIGHT!! I can't believe it!
Because Russ was on duty (and therefore not home in the morning), my poor Widget had to wait until after school to open her pressies… I felt so guilty that she had to wait, so I fixed it so that noone at school would miss that it was her birthday!
Then, we she came home – and Zoe had been collected from her tutouring in Kilmore – Willow was finally able to open her pressies!! I think the sunnies and the iPod were a big hit!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIDGET!!!
We love you!!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and thirteen
Russ was on duty tonight… and I had to collect Jaimi from her theatre class… and take Darci to her Yr9 Expo… so Zoe offered to cook dinner… TACOS – and they were AWESOME!!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and twelve
Today I attempted to take our Christmas card photo… but Darci was in one of 'those' moods… you know the ones?… like she has had an overdose on wacky pills?!… This was Russ (our long-suffering chauffeur for the session) trying to park the bus… and Darci… doing… weird stuff!
happy 1st birthday narnia…
My first cake-smash session… what FUN!! Thanks so much to the gorgeous Narnia for being the perfect guiena-pig model!

We visited with our wonderful friends Kate and Davo today… and while I really should have included a photo of them to represent the day – how could I go past this gorgeous face with those amazing eyes… belonging to the adorable Isabelle?

My beautiful Zeus… hates looking at the camera, but does it anyway; for me ♥
photo-a-day | day three hundred and six
I had a cake-smash shoot on today, and the cake was still in reasonable condition when we were done… so Xan asked if she could have a go… and so she did!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and five
Some of us had to work today (Jaimi & me) and some others had the day off (EVERYONE else!)… and this is what I found when I came home for lunch… a Super-Mario- athon!
Please note: Xanthia, Willow and Zoe are still in their pj's!!
Some people have it so tough!
photo-a-day | day three hundred and three… halloween!!
One of my favourite parts of living in the little community that we do is Halloween… it is actually an organised event around here (and a rare occurence in Australia)… with decorations, costumes, lollies… and, of course, Trick'or'Treating!!… and don't the kids just love it!!
Xan (angel), Willow (devil) and Zeus, ready to go… Jaimi in her scary mask!… and Xan's friend Maddie as bloody mary… how cute do they all look!?
Darci (batgirl), Zoe (spidergirl), Amy (wonder woman) and Maddie (supergirl)… the Justice League like you have never seen them!
Little Henry (Yoda) was my favourite visiting Trick or Treater… seriosly ADORABLE!!

Wet fun on the trampoline… it was way too cold for this, and they were in a hot bath within about five minutes of me taking this photo!… but it was fun while it lasted!
