The Uncooperative Ballerina

Blade Man

NSW

We had another great trip to G Jops and GFKs with Zoe and Liam.

Finally some new house pics.

I haven't really had much time lately hence the lack of posts.  We've been trying to get all sorts of little jobs done around the house which usually has to take place after the two small people have gone to bed.  These are some lillies from our garden!  That ugly brick wall is going when we can organise a builder and the time to do it.

Our baby continues to grow at an alarming rate.  Just look at those long legs!  Tipping the stool upside down to climb inside is a favourite game.

The kitchen with the offending brick wall on the right.  The cabinets are so old and terrible so we brought these garage shelving units from the old house.

Living room panorama.  There used to be some rails in the gap down to where the chairs are which looked like a veranda railing - so bizarre so we knocked them out.

Morning coffee spot.  Not so hard to take.

The yard backs onto a school.

Morning sun coming in the living room windows.

Monkeys on the deck.

An amazing costume arrived from the USA.  Thanks Gwyneth and Robin!

Batgirl and Optimus Prime.

It's not all superheros. 

The shoe girl.  She loves these shoes and insists on wearing them despite how big they are.

A gremlin.

And another one!

Fun in the new yard.

I'll have some house pictures eventually but so far here are a couple of videos of the kids in the yard. GFK made Eli the bow and arrow and he's getting pretty good with it. 

Bird is the word

It's all about dressing up.

I wish I could post about all the different things that we do all the time but the truth of it is that pretty much all we do is make costumes!

In disguise!  Eli is actually dressed as Clark Kent.  His superman costume is hiding beneath.  We went into school today to have birthday lunch with Daddy  and his colleagues.  Eli made his surprise transformation half way through lunch.

Wolverine.

Visiting the sculpture park with 'Awesome Man'

It was a slow walk around the sculpture park because Molly decided she was not going in the stroller.

'Awesome Man'

The wild thing.

Thor.  On the left is mach 1 and the updated silver version on the right.

Power Rangers.

Falcon.

Iron Man.

Venom.

Electro.

Accident prone

Eli hurts himself a lot but made a good job of the latest one.  He was racing across the dining room and dived head first into a chair and needless to say he came off worse than the chair.

Dancing

Lately

This guy came to the Australian Garden's with us when Saoirse, Josh and Phil were here!

Frankston beach with Saoirse and Josh.

Wonder woman after swimming lessons.

Eli's first letter!  He's been able to write Eli for a while now but hasn't really been much interested in writing anything else... until a couple of weeks ago.  He said he wanted to write this letter to me and asked me to write each letter down so he could copy them.  Pretty good work!

Frankston beach again.  This time with GFK.

More costumes!

My kitchen helper constantly removes everything from the drawers and cupboards.

Eli failed the eye screening at the GP so we took him to the optometrist where they said his eyes were better than perfect!

Don't worry, Green Lantern's in the house.
