Busy Week

In the last week. Brooke turned six years old and she is certainly feeling a lot older and bigger. The whole family went to Sizzler (for the last time) and then back to the girl's house to cut up the dog cake that Brooke had ordered from Mum's book.

Then on the weekend it was Easter. The girls were very spoilt by the Easter bunny but the girls have not made much of a dent on the loot they scored. In fact the girls have taken to running a raffle to give their eggs away to family members.

 

After a day of sitting in front of Nintendo, Pa and Dad managed to convince the ladies to go down the beach this afternoon. CJ initially didn’t want to go but after half an hour or sun, sand and surf – they are already hanging out to go to the beach again…. and play Nintendo DS.

Last day being 5

Tomorrow is Brooke’s 6^th birthday – She is very excited. Tonight Brooke and Mum finished the book they have been reading for weeks, it’s called something like – Tales for a 5 years old. They were both very excited when they read the last story tonight (good timing)

 

Tomorrow night we are going to Sizzler so Brooke can try some new foods – being 6 and all.

 

Today at school the girls had a “multicultural lunch” where everyone bought a different dish from wherever they/their family came from. Courtney tried a party pie that “tasted like ice”

Yanchep National Park

This little photo was taken when Aunty Kirstie took the girls to look at the caves in the National Park in Yanchep, on Christmas Eve last year.

 

The girls loved all the “crystals” that were growing in those caves.

Home Economics

Mum and Dad have reached the end of their tether with the girls and the state of their rooms etc. The girls are earning pocket money (for real this time), they get $2.00 for each day that they clean their rooms, help out around the house, get themselves ready for school and do their homework etc… However, the down side for them is that they have to pay for EVERY luxury in their life…. They have to pay for McDonalds, the little treats that they beg for… everything – at least that is the plan.

 

Let’s see who ends up in tears first.

Crazy Hair Day

Today was Crazy Hair Day at school. As you can see, Mum certainly put a bit of effort into making the girls hair “crazy”

At Jurien Bay

Last Saturday Courtney and Brooke and Dad went to Jurien Bay

And of cause when Brooke found a my little pony princess she wanted to play with it.

 

The nest day we all went to the Pinnacles and are BIG!      

The Long Weekend

The long weekend was fairly eventful for the girls. On Saturday we went to the work picnic again. Mostly it was the same, except for the rock climbing wall that Courtney was dying to have a go at. She was so brave and climbed a lot higher than Dad thought she would.

Sunday we went to Jurien Bay and got to see the Ando's new house. Monday the girls took a day trip to Cervantes and the Pinnacles, which they thought were pretty special.
