And there was MUD

Posted by EclipseAu | Posted in | Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010

With all the rain about over the last two days Miley had dug a Huuuuge hole out the side of the house where wer are in the middle of some renovations.

Needless to say the call of a good mud bath was too much to resist...


JP didn't want to get in the mud bath but settled for making mud pies instead...

Then both the girls got in the shell pool to wash off.

This afternoon we went for a stroll to the park for the girls to let off a bit of steam.

CB just clillin on the machines

We took the girls' "Pink Machine" down for a spin...


but the concrete we were on had a bit too much grip,

Our Australia Day

Posted by EclipseAu | Posted in | Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010

We started our day off with a trip to Queensland's Government House.

This photo of the girls attracted a writer from the brisbanetimes.com.au who wanted a pic of the girls in all their patriotic finery.



This is a pic of  the house

After Government House we took a trip across Brisbane to Bulimba for lunch to an awesome hamburger joint called Grill'd.

Where we played up a little bit....

This person must have a four wheel drive as their other car.

Sunday Arvo at the Quarry Reserve

Posted by EclipseAu | Posted in | Posted on Sunday, January 24, 2010

This afternoon we took Miley up to the Haig Street Quarry for a bit of a run around. She's still not too fond of the water, but we are going to work on that.

The Girls found a bucket and tried catching guppies with it with limited success.



They tried for 15 minute using their hands......   Nothing !!!

JP gave up but CB soldiered on......  Still,  only one guppy caught.

Miley was having a good look, but wouldn't go in.

Until she accidentally fell in,  Not happy Jan !!!

Then we went over to the new playground for a little while for the girls to have a play.

Where CB got on the rope bridge.....

New Hobby

JP has a new hobby. She no longer wants to be a Photographer / Artist when she grows up. She now wants to be a dessert chef. These are her creations for today.

A Sojourn @ Night

Posted by EclipseAu | Posted in | Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010

Tonight HM (short for Hot Momma) shuffled us all out the door, Miley included, to go for a walk.



We trundled down the new bikeway, but CB kept falling off her bike.

Another Spill

To cheer her up a bit we stopped off at Maccas on the way home where we bought the girls an Ice cream.

It worked, although you wouldn't know it from this photo

Surely, Ice Cream is more fun that this !!!
