Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Family Camping

We really enjoyed our last camping trip with Nana and Grandad so we decided it was time to do it again. This time Nana & Grandad had a caravan and we purchased ourselves a new tent, which is a Mansion with 3 bedrooms and a vestibule area (I love that word).

We went away for 10 days and it was great fun again. We didn’t however have the great weather that we did with the last trip. We managed to get stuck in a really bad storm, the awning on the caravan blew up and broke the leg (which we managed to fix) and the tent vestibule blew up in the

Love the cheese cake..

Nana & Grandads

We had a lovely week with Nana and Grandad, the children love going to stay with them and I hope they love having us. I am sure that they do, but sure that they are glad to have their house back to normal when we go.

One day we decided that we would go fishing, we went to Narooma and walked along the board walk, stopping for a spot of fishing.

Growing Vegetables

Daddy has gone to the US for work, so we are staying with Nana & Grandad for 10 days. Very exciting.

Nana & Grandad have a vege patch and whenever we come down the little man helps in the garden. This time we planted some beans and beetroot. He went and checked on them this afternoon and apparently they are still little. What a surprise we only planted them 2 days ago. Kids are so funny and so innocent.

But we did get to pick a cauliflower which was yummy. Here is the little man with the cauli.

The cauliflower is hiding and so am I

But wait

Camping Fun

Yes we made it back in one piece. I am glad that I posted the Hopeful post before we went, as it must have helped us out. It didn’t rain the whole time that we were away, we had one morning were is was spitting a little but nothing that was going to spoil our day. Also the camp beds were really comfortable and everyone slept reasonably well.

We had a wonderful time, everyone involved enjoyed themselves, as you will see from the photos that I am just about to bombard you with.

Our first day, we didn’t leave home until late so we only stopped just outside of the suburbs, still

My Birthday in February, Happy Birthday Mummy!

This one was taken in March 09 - Makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Happy Birthday Mum!

I just want to say a VERY Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mum!

As my Mum lives a fair way away, we all jumped in the car and met half way for lunch (that is still a 2 & a half hour drive). Mum didn’t know that this is what was happening, it was a surprise. Which it was, and we had a lovely lunch at a winery and ate and drank far to much, but had a lovely time just the same.

Mum you are a very special person, and we all love you very much. I have said it in another post and I will say it again. I hope

First Ice-cream On A Stick

Little Miss’s First Ice-cream On a Stick

Little Miss has eaten Ice-cream from a spoon, but from a stick was a whole new thing. She seemed to really enjoy it, and she managed to eat the whole thing, making a LOT of mess. I did think to my self that she would make a mess so she was only wearing her T-shirt, Bib and nappy.

The First Bite

Ooo it is bit cold on my teeth

Now I am getting used to this

Mmmmm Yum this is good

It is strange when I think of eating an ice-cream, I now wonder what
