MegaBalloons

 Sometimes you just need to head outside and bash your sibling with a giant balloon!


Jigsaw Stall Tactics

For a while, thought we'd never sleep again. 1000 piece Harry Potter jigsaw.
 We got there at last. Sav covered off the house emblems, I managed a few lights, but Nana and Mega did the heavy slightly-neurotic-into-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning lifting. Writing judgements and building child bike seats can wait, right?!


Bard on the Beach

An evening of laughs with Klynnie and our super cool niece and nephew from Uncle Kevin's side of the family.
We were as merry as Shakespeare's wives after 2 glasses of wine and a special G&T.

Crashing Chez Nana

Nana thought her flat had reached its absolute low point during our two week stay with her.
 Then the forts came out...
 And the Arts Umbrella projects...
 Including Sav's model of our new house!

Any better way to celebrate the start of the Summer Holidays than with a....

Waterfight and a trampoline sleepover!?
 

Savannah and Grade 3

No love lost between Sav and school. We're still working on fostering a love of learning with Beast 1.
 Perhaps she should have spent a little less time at gymnastics and doing her routine with friends for the talent show, and a little bit more time with the books. The label maker reveals all.
Handstand to bridge...that was a big milestone for Sav and her level 6 ribbon at Phoenix gymnastics with Coach Adam.

Mac's Nursery Graduation

There was singing, dancing, a diploma ceremony. It was wonderful!

 And one especially for team Japan...









Here's a snapshot of Mac's nursery journal. The teacher always translates his intended message at the bottom but here she has missed out the last part, the most important part, according to Mac: I shot mum in the bum. 
Mac was particularly pleased that he'd made our bums look like the letter "b". (Well, "b is for bum, mom"). 
Miss Sandy must have been alarmed, at least enough to clarify at the bottom-- Mac explained this was a nerf fight with Dad.
