School Holidays Are Here!!

Well its that time again...............school holidays............man, it seems like they only just had holidays.........i am sure they have more than when i was at school!!

But, its all good.......i like having the kids home - cause it means i don't have to wash and iron uniforms, make lunches and generally have nice and non-rushed mornings.......and SLEEP IN!!

Now all i have to do is try and keep them busy!!!!!!


Yesterday, the Prep's and Grade 1's had an excursion in to Yarraman to see a travelling "farm" - Old McDonalds Farm - and they could pet the animals and feed & brush them. Ebs was absolutely in her element..........she just LOVES animals as you can see>>>>>>>>



They have all been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks......don't know why cause most of the kids have all these animals at home anyway..................but somehow its "different".


They also had other activites, ie...face painting, make & takes, etc....



All in all, they had a ball though!

*Ebony- "If that was Old McDonalds Farm, where was Old McDonald?"

Well, what can you say to that, because there WAS NO men there?

*Me - "He must of sent Mrs McDonald instead while he stayed on the farm!!"

*Ebony - "Oh yeah" ...looking very satisfied with that, lol!!!

..........................................................................................................................................................

The other day, while on our walk, i took this pic overlooking our farm........gorgeous hey!!

Well...thats it for now

Wayne and Selby....

I photographed Wayne and Selby's wedding on the weekend....Here's a couple of pics......




It was a lovely wedding, and the weather was just glorious at Caloundra!!



Jackson has been practising for his soccer finals.......he's plays today, so fingers crossed!!

School holidays this weekend.......so i guess not much work will be getting done in the next couple of weeks, lol!! Will be trying to keep the kids entertained!! Hopefully my nephew, Calypso will be coming up to stay......the kids just love having him stay here!!


With the warmer weather, brings lots of weeds, planting and mowing.....which i really love......mmmm, the smell of freshly cut grass.....weird, i know, lol!!

Oh and i have to tell you we got some good news regarding the Coal Conveyor Belt that was in the process of coming through our land - ITS NOT NOW!!!!!! Needless to say we are VERY happy about that.......

So now, that we don't have to move, i have a list of things i want to get done around the house...ie, painting, putting a deck on...... thats just for starters!!

Anyway, got tons to do

1st Tooth Lost!!!

Well after months of wiggling his first loose tooth.....Jackson has finally lost it!! He was ssoooooooo so excited.....he is the last one in his class to lose a tooth, so we made a really big deal about it and he was just chuffed!! Now Ebony is trying to wiggle hers to see if there's any loose, LOL!!!


Scrapboxx has a new Newsletter out.....Check it out here HERE. Its a great read and I also have a couple of LO's in there....;o)







And a friend emailed me a satellite pic of our farm from GoogleEarth...i think it is amazing!! And its just lucky i wasn't hanging out the washing in my undies that day, ROFL!!!!!

The red circle is our house....This was taken probably a month or so ago before we had the rain......so it looks really terrible....no grass, just dirt.....but now you wouldn't know it......SO green and lush!! We live across the road from the forrestry, so we are nice and secluded there!! And we overlook the Bunya Mtns......(looking out towards the top left of the pic) Aahh the serenity!! And yes.....our property is called "Bonnie Doon" too (anyone seen "The Castle")



Anyways that is it from me for today

Spring is here!!

The past few days have just been glorious here......so Ebony and I have been out in the garden, pulling out weeds, pruning wayward bushes and pulling out plants that have had their day.......and getting some photos of course!!





We also found a little frog....which Ebony says she "saved" and he now lives under one of our tank stands in his "new home", lol!!



And finally, little (getting big) Molly and Jess, were "helping" us too





I just love this time of the year......there's new growth on all the plants....lots of flowers.....and there's SO MANY little calves being born here too..... just love it!


I LOVE SPRING!!
