Coco Comes Back

Sophie was so excited when I arrived at school to pick her up on Friday because. "Coco's coming to our place mummy, Coco's coming to our place"

Yep

This is the weekend that Coco came back to visit the Reay Family.

We had lots of fun even though we didn't go anywhere particularly special this time.

No Cheerios in the cupboard, but Coco did enjoy some healthy porridge with yummy honey. 

Then it was off to one our favourite stores. Bunnings Warehouse. As usual the moment we walked in all the Bunnings girls flocked towards us with a "Hi Sophie, Hello sweetheart, We missed you Sophie we haven't seen you for at least 3 days." It goes on and on.

If you haven't guessed yet we love Bunnings and they love Sophie, and were all in love with Coco the camel.

After picking up shelving set number 3 and some other bits and bobs we headed over to the Mega Market to the bulk butcher. Sophie had to stop for another picture.

And then she spotted this one.

We headed home for lunch and Coco got to try a chicken and cheese toastie for lunch. Yum yum yum.

We finally got around to putting the mini trampoline together that mum and dad gave us, it's only been stashed away for a year or so. 

Well Soph must have fallen over, tipped it over and bounced right off that thing a hundred times and every time she jumped up looking like a stunned mullet and exclaimed "I'm OK I'm OK" and scrambled back on and kept on jumping. 

Well that's all folks

cheers

Mini Master Cheff

What a great day we have had today.

Why?

Because today was Jemima's Birthday, and Jemima had a Master Chef Party

Sophie and I have been looking forward to seeing just what a Master Chef Birthday Party was ever since we received the invitation a couple of weeks ago.

Well It was quite simple to do as far as the party went and soooooooo.... much fun.

On arrival we were handed a little paper bag with Sophie's name on it.

I took this picture towards the end of the party. As you can see the apron did it's job keeping all that coloured icing off of their clothing.

Inside was a little chef's apron with Sophie's initial on it (Master Chef symbol style), a paper chef's hat and a small piece of timber dowel (rolling pin) along with some lollies and nick nacks as there party bag.

Everyone put on their apron and hat and made their way over to the tables where they were given a ball of pizza dough to roll out.

They then popped their rolled out dough onto a paper plate which already had their name on it and went to the next table which had lots of toppings all layed out in bowls for the kids to put on their pizza's.

Next they took them to the kitchen where Auntie took them off the kids and started putting them on trays to cook in the oven.

Meanwhile the kids played pass the parcel and pin the cherry on the cupcake.

Before you knew it their little pizza's were ready and they all sat down at the tables for their lunch.

After lunch they ran around wild giggling, screeching and generally having a great time with balloons flying everywhere.

Then everyone was asked to make their way back over to the big tables where their were towers of cupcakes, bowls of different coloured icing and bowls of lollies and decorations.

The kids then decorated 3 cupcakes each, 1 to eat as the birthday cake and 2 to take home.

Their were so many cupcakes left over the mothers were asked to go ahead and decorate and take a couple home too. We were all happy to oblige and had lots of fun doing so.

whilst everyone sat down and ate their cupcakes we all watched on as Jemima opened her presents.

Everyone thanked the birthday girl and her family for a wonderful day and headed home.

We made it home just before a big storm hit, so I'm typing quickly, trying to get this post up before we loose power.

Well that's all folks

Cheers

Horray It's Time For The Kids To Go Back To School

We were very excited in our house Tuesday morning. School holidays had flown by, my plan for the 1st week was to get some painting done.

Sophie and I ended up playing board games, doing find a words, making fabric flower hair clips, sewing a few experimental clothes, watching movies etc.

We made use of every opportunity when the rain would stop and the sun would break through the grey clouds. Strait out the door we dashed, running around the backyard playing soccer, swinging on the swings and monkey bars and giggling ourselves silly.

We also planted some new lettuce seeds and rainbow spinach seedlings.
