Day One Hundred and Fifty Two

The joys of playing football, you always leave the field with less skin than when you started!

Day One Hundred and Fifty One

After a busy day, sandwiches and a piece of fruit were on the dinner menu. 

"But I don't want my crust!" complained Bella. 

Before I could respond, Jada yelled 

"I''ll have it! I want my hair more curly!" She then proceeded to sit down and eat all of the crusts, 

   bless her.

Day One Hundred and Fifty

Today Mum and I (well mostly Mum) made some finishing touches to the girls toy room. We made a foam top for the toy box and added matching material to the baskets and chair. I also bought some green boxes for organising their school things, and have put up some hooks for them to hang their coats. It is finally coming together and looks much fresher with the new colours. Now if it could only stay looking like this .. !

Day One Hundred and Forty Nine

One of the best things about living in Canberra is the change of Seasons. 

This tree in Mum and Dad's front yard looks resplendent today!

Day One Hundred and Forty Eight

Today we went out to lunch to celebrate Poppy Kenny's Birthday, the youngest 75 year old I know. I hope I have inherited his amazing never-aging genes and zest for life. To quote the famous poet Merv Gaul : "75 and still alive!"... 

indeed he is!

Day One Hundred and Forty Six

Tonight Dad came over to help Trevor hang some of our pictures. After months of having no pictures on the walls I have been waiting to complete our house and make it feel more like a home. This is one of my favourite pictures that was painted by my talented Aunty Raylee.

 I feel happier and more at home already with my red shoes hanging on the wall.
