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.

School days

Well I'm on a roll and realized I didn't write a post about Tahlia's first day at school.

In the lead up she was pretty blasé and even more recently was pretty light on the details of her days.

But she really seems to like her teacher (me too!) and she seems to have settled in quite well.

She had two friends from daycare going to her school and her class which I'm sure made a big difference. Poor Bella knew noone when she started and it took her a while to settle in.

Two girls in school how time flies!

Tahlia's first tooth lost

Yesterday morning Tahlia excitedly ran to me saying "feel this feel this" sure enough her tooth was wobbly. Then I noticed the new tooth was already coming up behind it!

I had an inkling her tooth would be out that day! She couldn't stop playing with it!

Sure enough when I came home the first thing she had to tell me was....tooth fell out.

I was just looking back on my blog to see how old Isabella was when she lost her first tooth. She was 6 yrs 3 mths.

Tahlia is 5 yrs 1 mth......and couldn't be more excited. She has been talking about losing her teeth for ages!

Here is a pic..

Funny things they say

Tahlia: insisted on bringing her baby stroller, baby and handbags into Canelands (shopping centre) today. Lo and behold she lost her handbag. Isabella and I were madly rushing from shop to shop to find it. Tahlia's solution? Call the "prime minister!". Hahahahaha!! Yeah I think she's got a few more things to be worrying about than your lost handbag!

Isabella: reading Little Red Riding Hood to me tonight. Picture of wolf salivating and words describing the wolf questioning LRRH about her Grandma's whereabouts. Isabella tells me she wouldn't be telling the wolf anything about her Grandma because a dribbling wolf is a greedy wolf!! Hehehehe!!

Funny stuff!

Happy 8th Birthday Bella

So it appears I have an 8 year old!!!! How crazy is that???

Isabella was 8 on the 8th of July and Michael, Tahlia and I all had the day off with Bella for she birthday and added bonus Grandpa and Nonna came to visit from the Sunshine Coast!!

We hadn't seen each other in 6 months and had a great few days together.

We all travelled to Airlie Beach on Friday to stay overnight. We stopped at Cedar Creek Falls for lunch and birthday cake on the way up. What a gorgeous spot. A few crazy tourists were even swimming.

Michael and Bella walked the track up to the top of the falls.

We stayed at Peppers Resort which was quite flash with a beautiful view.

A lovely dinner in Airlie that evening and we headed to the beach front where some fire twirlers were practicing their craft - quite spectacular.

We did a bit of sight seeing on Sat and found an unbelievable block we wished we were millionaires so we could buy it!!

Home sweet home and the rest of the weekend was spent baking, playing Chinese checkers and building a vegetable garden - can't wait today some rocket fresh from the garden.

Such a lovely way to spend a few days!




A lady beetle cake for the birthday girl!


Cedar Creek Falls - great rocks for skipping across the water!






Grandpa, Nonna, Tahlia and Bella



The view from "our" block!
