Day 274 - Fun times

With beautiful weather in Bingara Gorge, we decided to head out for a little lunch and then a play in the park. We had a great time, me getting lots of manual practice and the girls having fun at the playground around the corner of their house. It was one of our best visits to the beautiful Pearson family, mostly because the girls are really coming out of their shell and instead of hiding behind our legs or holding our hand, they happily hugged Neri and Andy and held their hands while out and about instead of ours. It truly is love - from all sides.

Day 273 - Dessert

Today we celebrated a Thanksgiving for Cooper with Sarah, Brad and their families and friends. After that, we hit the road to visit Nerida and Andrew for the long weekend. Upon arrival we delivered some very special birthday presents - Chocolate Brownies, which we enjoyed warmed, with some ice cream and strawberries for dessert. A perfect way to end a perfect day.

Day 272 - Wet and Fun Friday!

Today Isabel came over for a play with the girls. We had talked at school about her wish to come play with the girls, why not make this plan on a wet and rainy day. The girls played happily together in their room, we had lunch, made cupcakes and did a little bit of cleaning up as well. Olivia and Ava enjoyed Isabel coming over for a play and so did I!

Day 271 - Sleeping Beauties

When the girls are asleep I find it the best time for a spot of relaxing. Currently when I am enjoying my cup of tea and possibly a treat before bed, I am usually found playing the Song Pop App on my iPhone. This collage fitted in well with todays photo theme of love/hate. I certainly love bedtime, while I am pretty sure some days the girls hate it - one day, they might come to love it!

Day 270 - Happy Birthday Grandad

Tonight we went out to dinner to celebrate Dave's birthday. Ava and Isabel were very happy to pose with their Grandad. We went to dinner at Walshes, where the kids ate free - what a score, and enjoyed a delicious flourless chocolate orange cake.

Happy birthday Dave!

Day 269 - Madie

Today's theme for Photo a day was frame. While enjoying a delicious lunch at Helen's house, I did observe some frames that would have been fun to use. Instead when I went to pick up Dad for dinner, I had a little brain wave and took a photo of my neice Madison framing her beautiful big eyes. I am quite happy with this image, captures Madison very well I believe.

268 - A Walking ad for Bleach

Today was the first day of school holidays - with a few odd jobs on our list of things to do, the girls got some quality time outside. I possibly should have thought about dressing my daughter in white. Particularly when she thought washing her car with the dirt was a good idea. This is the end result - I think it is rather ironic how happy and proud she is looking in this picture, completely opposite reaction to what my reaction was.
