Blueberry & Strawberry picking

On Saturday we went blueberry and strawberry picking.  The blueberries are mid season whilst the strawberries are nearly over.  The good news is that the blackberries have just started and should be sweet by next week.

I think Lucy ate more blueberries than went into her bucket.

Memorial Day camping

Over the Memorial Day long weekend Lucy, Henry and Andrew camped out in the backyard for 3 nights.  Felicity tried it out one night but DID NOT LIKE IT! 

[Which meant that I had to sleep inside with her :) ]

We ate gourmet pizzas (5 cheese and 5 mushroom pizzas) and of course s'mores. 

We also found 2 rat snakes in yard which Andrew promptly beheaded.

All partied out

So there you have the update for the last couple of months.

Many more months went into all the planning.

Now we are gearing up for our big trip to Oz! Details coming soon.

Mothers Day 2012

I had a lovely start to Mothers Day with a made-to-order breakfast.

The kids gave me a yoghurt machine (and the first batch was according to Lucy scrumdiddlyumptious!)

Lucy's Art Party: The Art

We had 5 art stations set up for the party guests.

Did you see the rainbow skittles that marked each station? 

Lucy spent an hour sorting them.

The girls drew self portraits, painted a watercolour, sculpted a bird, made shaving cream art and had their faces painted. 

The shaving cream art was the highlight and I was busy painting faces and arms!

Lucy's Art Party: The Photobooth

we set up a photobooth for Lucy's party, reusing the backdrop from the Little Miss Sunshine party.

This time we had different photo props including rabbit ears, various glasses and hats.
