Day 281 - Floriade

Today we went for a family outing to Floriade. It is something we do each and every year. The flowers this year are beautiful. The girls like walking around and picking out their favourite coloured flowers. We did have a couple of touching incidents - lucky the flowers were dying and the petals were already falling off! However I didn't feel so bad when I noticed another little girl walking around with a perfectly formed tulip.

I am going to have to ask my aunty if she is going to dig up some bulbs this year - there were a few flowers I had my eye on.

I captured this picture of Ava with her dad after we stopped for a little lunch break. Couldn't resist that cute smile and the comforting hand on her shoulder.

Day 280 - My little shadow

Today we went to Meagan's house to celebrate Dave, Josh and Bianca's birthday. When we came home, I got into come comfy tracksuit pants, funnily enough, my little copycat did the same. Olivia has been my shadow for the last couple of days. She has been doing everything I do and I can't seem to do anything without her! Funny how things like this come in waves, Next week, no doubt she will be Shane's shadow.

Day 279 - Enjoying the Weather

Sometimes it is really hard to choose just one photo for the day. Today we had a very full day. We went to the movies to watch 'Tinkerbell - The Secret of the Wings', had lunch with Shane in the city- including a ride on the merry-go-round, played outside and went for a walk to the shops. The three of us had a wonderful day together.

Today's photo is a collage of all the fun we had while we played outside in the beautiful Spring weather.

Day 278 - Outside time

This afternoon we came home and had a play outside. I just love the imaginative play - especially when their play is reflecting their learning. Today, Ava was washing her hands before she cooked dinner in her little kitchen. While she was washing her hands she was busily having a conversation with her friend the shadow. It was all very cute to watch.

Day 277 - Christmas Already!

While out shopping today I went for a wander into David Jones and discovered their Christmas area entirely set up with everything you'd need for Christmas. I know really it shouldn't surprise me considering there are always Christmas items out and about early, but I only really expect a few things here and there, not their entire Christmas display. However, they are always beautifully set up, and sometimes wish I could have one of their trees set up in my house. One day... maybe.

Day 276 - Strawberries and Shower caps

Shower caps and Strawberries was how we spent our Tuesday afternoon. The showercaps were to contain some of the dreaded 'naughty itchies' as the girls call them and strawberries were to fill them up after a big day of daycare. It seems on daycare they always come home and nearly eat me out of house and home!

Day 275 - Detour on our way home

Today on our way home, we stopped for a picnic in beautiful Mittagong. This was an idea shared by many with the crowds at the park. We enjoyed some chicken and chips next to a picturesque lake and mountain. The girls played for a little while in the very crowded playground before we decided it was time to head back home after a lovely weekend spent with the Pearsons.
