Well a lot has been happening in the last month with kinder, playgroup, swimming and dancing all starting up again.
Anyway at the start of this month Bella started 4yr old kinder and she absolutely loves it. She was all excited that Piper and I were there for the first day but then on her second day I was told by Bella "that Piper and I had to go home and that we were to pick her up when kinder finished." Now she gives me a kiss and just walks in on her own and I don't even need to set foot into her kinder room which is good :)
The only problem was that for the first 2 weeks Piper threw a tanty every time we left as she to wanted to stay. "Next year Piper"...
Can't say that I am liking this heat much, and either are the birds. This photo was taken on one of the 47 degree days we have had and it started off with just one magpie in the bird bath, then next thing we knew the whole family joined in. The poor things were just so hot that we topped up the bird bath with some cool fresh water and the family were soon back to make the most of it. My poor garden is just burnt to a crisp and everything is just dying or already dead. Unfortunately there is not much we can do :(
The smoke haze from all the fires has been pretty terrible lately as well. Another horrible day has been forcast for tomorrow and lets just hope the weather people have it all wrong and that it won't be as bad as predicted. Strong Northerly winds, low humidity and hot weather aren't good preditions when there is still 5 fires out of control across the state. Fingers crossed and a rain dance is needed by all or a miracle from above. Good luck and I hope everyone is prepared.
On a happier note Isabella celebrated her 4th birthday on the 11th Feb, and as usual she got spoil rotten and had a fab party with all her friends at Hungry Jacks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS GIRL. XXX
As February is the month for celebrations for us, Brett and I also celebrated our 5yr wedding anniversary. WOW! I so can't believe that we have reached 5yrs already :-) Here's to the next 5 wonderful years. Love you hun xxx. We didn't do too much on the day as earlier in the week we headed to Melbourne to see one of our favourite bands "Stray Cats" perform and OMG what a great night it was. The Living End supported them which just topped it off, and what more can you ask for then being surrounded by all your friends, great music and then topping it off by spending the night in the city. The girls also had a ball as Nanny and Poppy came down to stay and looked after the girls for us which I'm sure was entertaining for them LOL. THANK YOU!
The day of our actual anniversary was a little disasterous with me waking up with a touch of gastro, Brett then surprising me by taking me to the local market for my favourite breakfast of Proffitjure thingies (no idea how to spell them) which after all that were not there. We then took the girls to go for a ride on their bikes around the lake and play on the playground were Brett accidently elbowed me in the forehead to the point where I thought I was going to pass out. And then we got home for me to fall asleep on the couch for 2-2.5hrs with what I am guessing was concussion. Oh well, I guess this is one anniversary we aren't going to forget in a hurry and we can now laugh about :)
I will do my best not to leave it so long to update next time.
