5.45 am...and a toddler bed...and some outings...

And I hear howling from the bedroom on Thursday...I rush to investigate and it is Evangeline...she has woken to discover Ben has left for work...poor thing...she takes it hard...so we phoned him on the mobile and she sobbed a bit then cheered up after loots of cuddles...he left home at 5 am to catch his flight...he will be back at the end of January...so wont be home for Christmas or the school holidays...

And Wednesday night was Morganne's first night in a little bed...about time really! She is three...but since she never tried to get out of the cot there was no urgency! Except for her calling out very loudly to be got out in the morning! This bed was made by my dad for my sister and I...and then Evangeline used it and now M...nice and low...just as well as she rolled out this morning when she was waking up! Evangeline chose the matching PJs...
Monday we had  little Jess to play...
And Tuesday we took my English cousins to a local wildlife park...to pat kangaroos and koalas! E had a little friend Kiarra to play for the day...

And Evangeline went to her last riding lesson for the year...they are doing "games" now!
And Ben's parents came for tea...


Wednesday we went down to Safety Bay to go on the Penguin and Seal boat tour...Morganne whinged a lot  but Evangeline enjoyed it all...a lovely outing...saw sea lions, dolphins and fairy penguins...
Evangeline decided to write about the day as she went...

And Morganne kept saying she wanted to be the captain...so she was very pleased to sit in his seat...

Then we had a few days at home as the girls had colds and coughs...and Evangeline made Morganne a rabbit for Christmas...and one for herself...I copied the one I was given from Mel

I had lunch with Sharon who gave me a fabulous bag and organiser she made...

We have been out riding the pony...and up in the tree house at sunset...
And lots of swimming...Morganne has ventured away from the step! A huge thing for her...she can actually stand here!

Last night we went to our local Christmas Carols...it rained a bit! But all was well!
Presents are mostly all wrapped ...except this one...it is a sewing kit for Evangeline and just want to get a couple of more things...we are getting ready to go to the farm for Christmas in a couple of days...

And today is our mum's group catch up...but not at the park as it is raining! Lissy
