Pa's Birthday

It's been a big week.

Wednesday was parent teacher night for Courtney's school. Courtney's new teach seems very nice and passionate. CJ was a little upset because there was not enough time to show Dad all the good work she has completed so far this year. Luckily, there was time the next morning.

Thursday night Uncle Brad spoilt the girls rotten and took them to Walking with Dinosaurs. The girls were impressed but as always, they have been unable (make that unwilling) to recall the night so we can report on it here. All they have told me is that they were big and you weren't allowed to touch.

Today was Pa's birthday and CJ helped Grandma make him a birthday pavlova.

A weekend sleep over

It's been a big week. CJ has found it a little hard to settle into the school year. Her new teacher is laying down a little bit of home work. It's not all bad and she is getting the hang of it.

This weekend Mum had a break down South so Chloe and the girls stayed with Grandma, Pa and Dad all weekend. They had a great time. Yesterday Brooke's friend had a birthday party and once again, CJ got to crash it. Although it was cold and raining, the pool party went okay.

Last night, out of the blue, Brooke said "Grandma, would you have enough monies to take us to walking with dinosaurs?" Grandma had to do some quick talking.

Brooke has taken to walking straight past Dad's room when she wants something at night time. She now walks to Grandma and Pa's room and flicks on the ceiling light to get their attention. 4:00am this morning, she was standing in the doorway of the lit room, asking for a drink.

What do you think?

Check out what Dave from BHM Photography has done with one of his latest shots of the girls.

The girls are somewhat settleing into the school year. Brooke claims to have had the "worse day of her life" today, she was bumped on the head and then someone stood on her fingers (not a scratch anywhere)

Courtney is having a harder time, she is finding math quite hard and feels the work load is building up. We're working together to get back on top.

Teacher's Pet

For some reason, Brooke has taken to giving Courtney's teacher a flower before school. We'll see if it helps either of them out. Apparently she "went all red" the first time.

The Wart

About a week or so ago, Courtney developed a little white spot on her foot. At first Dad thought it was a calcium deposit, a splinter or something. It since grew into a
Plantar Wart.

It doesn't hurt and Courntey's doctor has given her some cream to be put on every night. The photo above was taken tonight, so the cream has started to do it's work.

The hole in one

Today Dad, Pa and the girls went to The Maze. The girls got tired of the actual maze fairly quickly, mainly because it was fairly hot. The girls enjoyed looking at the emus, the kanagaroos and the koalas.

The biggest news of the day was Brooke's first ever hole in one on the mini golf. She was really happy with herself, and rightly so.
