Wonderwoman

Wonderwoman went to lunch

 Wonderwoman went to cheerleading camp - sleeping over tonight with the other cheer girls at the school where they train.

 Wonderwoman can fly

 Wonderwoman can smile

It's 9pm and I haven't heard anything. I'm taking that as a good sign and all is well. 

See you tomorrow smiley. I hope Wonderwoman doesn't have too many people to save tonight and can get a good night's sleep.

Cousins

K wasn't aware she had so many cousins. Thank you to the extended O'Donoghue family for catching up recently. We hope you enjoyed your holiday in our part of the world.

 These crazy kids thought 9am on a freezing morning was a great time for a dip.

 Luckily these two knew better.

Favourite People

Aunty K tells everyone she knows about this little man. She gets very excited when she knows we are going to visit. What a lucky boy with so many family members who love him dearly.

Stormy Walks

It Wasn't Me

We are going through the destructive stage.

 Every toy has been destroyed, every bed stripped of its fluff, every jar of nails hunted, every bit of insulation stripped from the hot water pipe.

 Lucky he is cute

 And behaves himself at puppy school. He won a new dog toy on Thursday for winning musical sits - being the fastest puppy to sit. I think I just had the yummiest treats - thanks to K for not eating her sausage the day before!

Apparently I have to work on getting the chicken wing back off Rumble after he has started eating it. I have tried. I have lost. His jaws are stronger than my fingers. He doesn't bite - I just can't get the chicken out of his mouth. I think I need to find something tastier than chicken to trade. I need to go shopping tomorrow for a monster sized bone. I will win this battle.

Let the rumble begin.

Show Time

Its Halloween, and it's show night. What better excuse is there to wear a costume in public and not have to actually trick or treat.

Thanks to Nanna and Grandad for my witchy wardrobe.

 Looking a bit nervous, watching the big kids on their ride. Lucky for us this one had a minimum age limit of 14 years. We have a while to go before we have to find our brave britches.

 K did convince me to go on this one with her. Oh my goodness - it was high!!

 10 mini donuts - no problems at all! Daddy did help.

Nice fireworks finished off the night. It was cold - but we expected that given it is still October. 

We got away with one showbag for K, and one for K's favourite nephew. I think I will send all of the sherbet to Cheerleading tomorrow for K to share out, and hopefully spread the sugar load across more than just one person. There is certainly enough in just one bag to share around. Who would ever think that a packet of 101 rainbow straws (of sugar) is a good thing to include in a children's show bag?

Sorry cheerleading - they are all yours :-)

Funny Faces and Smiley Smiles

At Kings Park last weekend

 Making playdough cakes

Posing near our driveway tree

 At the movies today - getting ready to watch Boxtrolls with our 3D glasses

 Home from the movies, eating more jellybeans

Home from Vacation Care yesterday with a pretty, painted face

And pretty braided hair - I'm going to have to employ the daycare ladies I think to do K's hair the next time we need to go somewhere special

Playing with Rumble today

Nature Kid

Collecting treasures at the beach

Who needs the beach though, when you can build a sand castle on the way to the beach?

Apologies to the large group of beach goers who had to negotiate the castle whilst carrying their canoes and beach gear.

Spending time in nature with some 'babies'

 And the biggest baby of them all...

A few days of sunshine meant that we could actually make it around the block without getting wet up to our knees.

We still had a few water hazards to navigate.

Daddy spent the day knocking down trees and creating a big pile of nature. Saturday afternoon K enjoyed roasting marshmellows - over and over.

We are happy to be home, where nature is a whole lot friendlier (the mud doesn't contain dangerous bacteria, a camp fire doesn't actually mean sleeping outside and the water can be stomped in, without fear of gigantic snappy things).
