autumn days...

We are still having such lovely autumn weather....a couple of days got down to 20 - 22C but mostly still 28C...nights are around 10 - 12C...so pretty perfect really...not good for the garden as there has been no rain...but perfect for holidays...and today is the last day of the school holidays here...Evangeline has actually had 3 weeks...

We have had a few days with my sister and family...going to the zoo...And playing and celebrating Ike's 6th birthday on ANZAC day...And today E had a friend to play...so we went to one of the few shady parks around here by the river and fed the ducks and played a while...Morganne has discovered slides and loves them...And then we made some very yummy chocolate and zucchini cupcakes...Grandma came for tea and Evangeline helped her wash her car...and Morganne supervised...Oh and Morganne found some of my paint last night...I had to laugh really as I have been doing a few facial masks at home...but I suspect E may have been a bit of a help too....lol...And I have been trying to sort out my digital photos..a BIG job...as I have about 90 000 of them....Lissy

And so having lots of baths...and chasing the cat...Morganne is currently obsessed with the baby doll...Evangeline spent some piggy bank money on this mini paint setAnd yesterday Simona took her girls and Evangeline to see a production of Peter and the Wolf...E loved it and made a little book of the story this morning...

We are having lovely weather and lovely sunsets at the moment...autumn is so nice here in Perth...we are enjoying our holidays...Ben left on Tuesday for five weeks...always a bit of a down day so I kept busy doing some cleaning, playing with the girls and planted the vege patch...Yesterday we went to see Simona and the girls...Today Evangeline had a play day at her friend Jess' house...and I went to Ikea to get shelving for mum...then we had a lovely time outside this evening...And this is Morganne's naughty mischievous face...the look she pulls when she is about to do something a bit naughty...lol...Tomorrow we are heading to Kings Park to see Alli and her boys...I love holidays as mostly there is no rush to get the girls to bed at night and no rush in the morning to go places...and we have fun catching up with friends...Lissy

chocolate for breakfast...

Easter Sunday...Morganne enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt! Evangeline helped her and she soon got the hang of it and loved the chocolate! And of course E did too...
We had friends for breakfast...they have just moved to Perth from Canberra with their two little ones...We had bircher muesli, eggs in purgatory, bacon, sausages and pancakes! Yummy! And there is nothing quite like a cute bunny Happy Easter - Lissy
