Sparky Marky

Mark is earning his nickname at the moment. He really is a bright little spark. His teacher says he has a reading age of a grade 3 child, and this week he finished reading his first novel - Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl!! What are we going to do with him??? I bought him a Grade 1 lined exercise book to take on hols so he can keep a diary of what we do. He is very excited about learning to write on lines!!

Petra's cakes

Horses in a paddock.
Pig cup cakes!
I think she equals any cake I have made in the past!

Hannah's Birthday




We went to visit Petra and co last weekend for Hannah's 2nd birthday. Lovely to get out there again, even if it was a pretty brief visit. Hannah enjoyed her party and even let auntie Michelle put pig tails in her hair the following day!

BBQ with friends

Heidi, Neve and Emily


We had a BBQ at Michael & Evelyne's On Sunday. Great to catch up with everyone again. We have not all been together in ages. We FINALLY managed to get all 3 little girls together in the one spot! The boys loved Nat and Paul's scooter. Doesn't Thomas look like a biker?!



My Ma

We also visited my mum in Hospital on Friday. She was hit by a car while crossing the road 3 weeks ago. Thankfully she is back home now and on the mend. She has a nasty wound on her leg.

Grandma's Birthday







We had a picnic in the park for Grandma's birthday on Saturday. It was lovely weather. Ate too much cheese! Yum.....



School Holiday Craft

Mark came up with this all on his own!
