Here it is finally and in a nut shell.
I thought the easiest way to do this being that it has been sooooo long, is to create a few collages of the past 6 weeks. So here we go!
June/July "09"...
1/ Back in June we headed up to Bendigo to go to the EK/FB Nationals. Other then being freezing cold and a little damp, we had an absolute blast.
2/ The girls just love blowing bubbles in the backyard, and I must say that I am pretty impressed by this photo. It's not easy taking a photo through a bubble. lol
3/ At the end of June we headed back upto Chewton/Bendigo to see Mum and Dad Baynham and headed out to the Bendigo Market for stroll. Once again the weather was a little chilly and wet :)
4,5 & 6/ We headed to the Rocket Park with playgroup for a sausage sizzle and a play, and besides the chilly breeze, we had such a perfect day weather wise :)
Piper's 3rd Birthday...
On July 11th Piper celebrated her 3rd birthday. We didn't organise anything too big as they always seem to get a little out of control (the parties that is). So we just headed to McDonalds for dinner and then off to the Melbourne Zoo with all the family :) All the kids (big and small) seemed to have a great time, and it was amazing to see how the zoo had changed in just a few years. The animals enclosures looked amazing and very "natural" looking, and with more renovations underway, I'm sure we will be back in the near future.
Just Stuff...
1/ Bella has been very helpful around the house lately and keeps asking to do chores so that I will pay her money? lol It's quite amusing as we haven't really discussed pocket money just yet. I think this is a sign to start. lol
2/ Now that Piper has turned 3 she has actually moved up to the next level at swimming and swims on her own without daddy in the pool :) She is doing so well and has started swimming without the aid of floaties, and her teacher told me the other day that she is a real water baby :) Lets just hope she keeps up the great work :)
3/ I think the picture says it all... Yes Piper got into my makeup draw and decided that it would be fun to cover her face in my dark eyeshadow. lol She was so proud of herself
4&5/ Last week Brett and I decided to take the girls into the city on the train. In theory this seemed to be a good idea and sounded like lots of fun, but for some reason (maybe an hour train ride of sitting there looking out a window???) they went a little feral and naughty and we ended up cutting our outing short and headed home :( Little buggers....
6/ On Saturday morning the girls decided to get up nice and early around 6am, but daddy and I had other thoughts and fell back asleep for another hour until I woke to the sound of the kitchen cutlery draw closing. We then realised that the house was very quiet and once investigated, we discovered that our "little darlings" managed to get a hold of a large bottle of talcum powder and covered Piper's entire room and had it mixed in bowls with spoons. :( Luckily Brett and I saw the funny side of this and took a few pictures before the clean up and her room smelt nice and fresh. lol
Till next time

P.S - Only 16 (nearly 15) more sleeps to go until Helen, Mum and I head off to Hong Kong. Can't wait! :)
