Another busy week here, but at least the weather has not been too bad. Plenty of sunshine and cold mornings but the kids do not complain they love nothing better then getting outside. I think to play either in the dirt or mud.

But thinking of those in NSW and Queensland who had been in the floods. Would have been nice if you had shared some of the rain with us down here... lol can't believe it when they said that Queensland got as much rain as we had in a year in 3 days.

We spent the weekend (well Nige did) cleaning out the study and clearing out the baby things such as the cot, high chair to sell. Does not seem that long ago that they were little and using all those things. But then again the time has just flown by.

We (Renee and the kids) spent some time one afternoon cooking. They made chocolate yogo and helped make dinner for that evening. They even gobbled up all their dinner, maybe the kids should help more often.

Getting ready to help cook.

Now Nate's turn.

Tahlia is funny and calls any meat bacon. Tuna, chicken is all bacon. Even when you try and correct here she shoves it in her mouth and grins and says "bacon". Oh well if she thinks it is bacon and will gobble it all up then we won't tell her otherwise. She loves her bacon, and is usually a fussy eater.

Nathan is such a character lately and not sure who he gets it from. Renee got a little excited at the dinner table when telling eveyrone something and started to talk fast. Nate then joined in with the babble and then said " I can't stop talking so fast, everything is so fast".. think he was picking on mummy there. Cheeky boy.

After the Wiggles Concert (more later on that) we took the kids to the Botanical Gardens. While Nige was paying the parking metre Renee started to walk with the kids who had run off. It was lunch time and a lot of workers out in their lunch hour jogging.

Nate then stands on the edge of the path with his arm outstretched facing the joggers, so he could recieve a HI 5 everytime one came past. If they were in the middle of the path he would move so he could get the HI 5. He thought it was great. Cheeky boy!

Then sitting at some traffic lights, we were right next to a tram stop where there were a few people waiting. Next thing they are laughing so we turn around to the back to find Nate showing them his drink bottle and pulling faces and waving. Must take after his father.

As we said earlier we took the kids to see the Wiggles in Concert. Thanks to Great-grandma who gave Nate some money towards the tickets for his birthday. Not sure who enjoyed it more Nate and Tahlia or Renee and Nige. It was great and colourful with a circus theme. Even the wiggles got up and were doing tricks and somersaults. It was a great family day out with a trip to the botanical gardens and the Shrine afterwards.

Tahlia all ready for the Wiggles.
