Tired chicken little

Tahlia has usually had it by Thurs/Fri. Tonight I came home and she was already asleep.

Brisbane - Annie weekend

This weekend we've travelled to Brisbane to see stage show Annie. We've also done lots of shoppin' and visited the Sciencentre.

Friday we flew down and spent a couple of hours at DFO, got a few things for the girls. Then in the afternoon the girls and Michael spent some quiet time together and I went shoppin' - picked up some great bargains!

We had dinner at Healthy Burgers which was surprisingly yum.

Saturday morning we visited the Sciencentre. This place is amazing and suitable for all ages. We had fun solving a mystery by working through various clues. Then through the interactive section. A fascinating place.

Then Annie!! What a wonderful show. Even Tahls was singing through it. Prob a bit too long for Tahls concentration span though. Both girls spent the remainder of the afternoon singing Annie tunes.

Dinner was at Vapiano's -
Which is an Italian restaurant where they make your dinner in front of you. It was yummy scrummy in my tummy.

Right now we are waiting for Michael to get ready to go to breakfast. Another gorgeous looking day.

Soup

I am loving soup at the moment.

Cauliflower and bacon, fresh chicken with spinach and red lentil and sweet potato soup.

I made some red lentil and sweet potato soup today. It smells absolutely divine!

I'm about to make some focaccia to go with it MMMMMM.

Here is a pic of it freshly whizzed up thanks to Thermie!





What's your favourite soup?

A couple of things

ISABELLA

Finished her first assignment this week. It is a presentation on France she has to give her class on Tuesday.

She researched the content and even made a PowerPoint slide of pictures. She did an amazing job! Grade 3 and making a PowerPoint slide presentation unbelievable!

The kids went to church today and when Father said "put your hands together" some smarties in her class started clapping instead of praying. So everyone in the class had to write a letter to God. To apologise I imagine! Gave me quite s giggle!

TAHLIA
Tahlia walked all the way to the corner shop and back tonight. This is a major breakthrough. When we were on holidays at the beginning of the year she wouldn't even walk a block without tears!

FRIDAY NIGHTS
Very exciting in our household. Usually consists of all family members asleep by 8.30pm and I'm left to amuse myself. I usually have a glass of vino (or 2) and play Words with Friends, watch Escape to the Country.

Tonight's drop....





I'm selecting purely by pretty labels these days!

TGIF, bottoms up!

One on one time

It's not often that I get one on one time with the girls but tonight Tahlia and I had some.

Sometimes Tahlia can drive me bonkers but tonight I enjoyed each and every moment with her.

We walked down to the fish and chip shop which is about 15 mins away. Tahlia did a little running and explained to me that you need to move your arms when you run and make sure you are not looking down. Something she had learned in sports class this week. So
Cute.

She talked all the way there, all through eating dinner and then all the way home.

We practiced her letters and sounds letters make - she is really coming along in leaps and bounds. I love this age when they are learning so much.

A perfect evening was topped off with a quiet snuggle and cuggle on the couch. Love love snuggling in and breathing in her goodness.

These are the moments, the times I savour.

💗💗💗
