Mum's away

Marn's gone to Perth for four days for her Dad's 60th, so I thought I had better post something at the halfway point,  just so she can see we're coping ok.

We got home from dropping mum at the airport and found a Mila birthday box of goodies from Beli that included this pretty dress

On the way home from preschool we went for a wander in some great light along the train track

Friday night there was some nude dancing in the dark after dinner, of course

Saturday morn - Mila rode her bike all the way to the cafe; Henry wore his cricket hat

Had some fun at the cafe with the Laverty crew - there was no way I was going to get them all in the shot and looking at the camera

Did some roly polies down the hill

Milly stopped crying long enough for me to take a teary smiley photo of her static trampoline hairdo

Watched a movie after dinner Sat night

Yeah we're coping ok so far

The one when Milly turned two

Our baby girl turned two today. 

 
There were streamers and balloons, a new playhouse and a small, simple birthday morning tea that kind of blew out into a kid-crazed big bash. I suspect there wasn't enough food in the end, but we managed. There was enough sugar in her purple hippo cake to keep them going in circles for hours anyway.

I know, I know, that cake is kind of....very....purple. But the kids liked it.

 Milly and Henry helped Greg build the playhouse while I set up inside.

 Testing out the door.

All done and into it.

 Some more friends arrive.

 Checking out the new fun stuff.

Robbie (a favourite friend) checks out the workmanship.

 Birthday song and cake. She did beautifully (code for successfully beating her brother to blow out her candles first).

A really good day. Happy birthday baby girl.

right now

This is what the kids are doing right now...

I think it's really funny. It's a day at home, so why not.
