 |
| My kids....always in school uniform stuff during holidays and weekends. Not sure why it doesn't bother them at all but so long as they're clothed it doesn't bother me |
 |
| The sad january night when we were going to go to the pools but their behaviour was poo that we came back inside and put washing away instead |
 |
| Julie and Luke's super fun waterslide party |

| This generous and compassionate girl saw news about the bushfires in Australia and came to ask me if she could donate to one of the funds. I left it up to her and she decided to give $68 of her own money!! If there's one thing that all my kids are really good at, it's giving money away. We can NEVER walk past a beggar without the kids going 'Mum, you can't just walk past, it's not right' |
 |
| Grandie's been gone a month and we're so excited he's arriving back today |
 |
| The day the kids spent 3 hours in this small room and never came out! I would've never believed it was possible but Joseph and I attended a funeral and the kids chose to sit in here with snacks and ipads. |
 |
| Just spying on them....still there after 1 hour! |
 |
| It was a costly exercise cause I'd put money on the line....$80 later! |

 |
| This critter is so flippin' cute....I love it when he goes 'Aunty Mel....' |
