Swimming lessons finish.

 

The kids finished swimming lessons today.Now I have to find something else to occupy their time as it is still 3 weeks untill school starts!.January is always soooo long.On the plus side atleast the weather has cooled down abit.

Hello 2013!

We went to see the movie Wreck It Ralph which was excellent!It was lovely sitting in the air conditioned cinema .Everyone else had the same idea as the cinema was full of kids.It was fun.
We have been making the most of our pool but thankfully the sweltering heat wave we have had has ended (the most extreme heatwave in Perth since 1932! ,apparently).
Jas+Roo started swimming lessons again today.Billy is enrolled to start in the next couple of weeks.

Boxing day.

                                           We woke to a very hot day and a very messy house!.
                                            We filled up our new pool and spent alot of the day
                                             in it.It was a typical boxing day of lazing around,
                                             eating left over turkey,staying cool in the heat wave,
                                             tea-partys in the tent,playing with our new toys and
                                             afternoon naps.Perfect really...although I could do
                                             without the 40+ degree heat we are experiencing.

Celebration+Tradition.

We have cause to celebrate as it is both the beginning of Advent and ofcourse the first day of summer.We enjoyed the kids summer school fair today.A great turnout and the school raised lots of money.Also the kids loved the laser tag and the pony rides.

This evening we lit the first candle of advent.We also made our christmas wreath.Now the excitement of christmas has begun!.

Our Tree-For-all-Seasons.

We found an old tree branch today and so we set about creating a special tree-for-all-seasons.The kids painted it and now they get to decorate it for christmas.We all love our special tree.
