Anzac Day

Yesterday was such a great day. Bruno is in the Army Reserve so every year he marches down St kilda Road and The Girls, Nonna and I go in to watch him.

So up early we were to get to the city. The girls love it, they stand on the side waving flags. Maddy always seems to attract the attention of a lot of old veterans, they stop to give her a big wave and throw lollies out to the girls. Besides going to see Daddy march, they love watching everyone. It also makes you appreciate everything some people gave up, just so we can have a future.

So I have to share this picture of us together after the march.

As we where walking back from the Shrine, the Airforce jets flew over and gave Maddy such a fright she yelled, "You silly buggers". What a reaction!

April Kit

April Kit is now Sold Out.
All kits have now been sent out. I have been busy getting May's kit together for the design team and ordering for June.
I am off on Friday for Freestyle Downunder, I can't wait. I know it will be a very hectic couple of days but I love it!

Priceless!

This week we decided to change Maddy's 3 year old Kinder day from a Friday to a Wednesday. Anyway on the Friday that she went she had made friends with a little girl called Mia who has blonde curly hair. On the Wednesday day there the day their is another little girl called Mia who also has blonde hair. When she came home I asked here how kinder was and who she played with she said Mia mummy, but she looked different, her mummy had made her hair longer and straightened her hair! How cute and priceless she did not realise it was a different little girl because of the name. I just had to share this, it shows how innocent a child can be.

We finally caught 3!

We came back from Eildon yesterday, cannot believe how quick the holidays went. Carly has now started term 2 of her 1st year of school.
I have spent the last 3 days catching tadpoles with the girls. Anyone who saw us would have thought we where absolutely crazy! Here I was in a muddy pond with my jeans rolled up, feet emersed in water, scooping buckets of water up and then checking for tadpoles. Other kids in the park also joined us and I was a star, with them all asking, "Michelle can you get some for me". Anyway I would have thought that it was enough fishing for us. But they did not forget about the good old Trout Farm(which I have desperately tried to forget about after the spider incident). Oh no! they definetely did not forget, so on the way home we stopped at the Trout Farm in Buxton. But it was great, there was no spiders and we could fish, even the girls can now get the bait on the rods. Unfortunately the fish kept getting the bait of our rods so we did not get any. Then I had a great idea that if we threw some food in the water they would all come over and I could scoop them up in the net. Bingo! it worked, the first time I got 1 fish and then the second time, 2 fish. So off we set home with fish for Daddy! and tadpoles for Show and Tell.
Besides that we have been busy packing kits today.

Our April Gallery is now up on the Website, Click here to view.
I actually survived Easter and managed not to have too much Chocolate ( I have not got on the scales yet).
The girls and I have spent sometime up at Eildon and I must say they are having an absolute ball. The park has only permanent people here so everyone knows each other, and all the kids play together so much. They had the biggest Easter hunt. I will upload some pics as soon as I can, I am not sure if I have the connection here to upload to my Laptop.
Tomorrow I am taking them for a train ride, so they are very excited. Will fill you in more later.

I hope everyone is having a safe and well Easter. It has certainly been very buy for us.
I took the girls down to see my parents at the start of the week, I was originally going to wait until Easter itself, but my 2 nieces where going to be there, and seeing as the cousins really don't get to see each other very much, we changed our plans and went earlier.
Then on Thursday we headed of back home, left at 10am, got back to Melbourne, unpacked and then repacked, did the groceries ( not a good idea with 2 little tired girls that had already traveled for 5 hours) came back home packed everything in the car, then left for Eildon. Which we arrived at 10pm! what a day, but considering it took us a whole 12 hours with traveling, packing etc; the girls where very good. So will stay up here for a couple of days.
However I will not be surprised if Maddy my overly confident 3 year old hurts herself.... Yesterday I was sitting down having a cup of coffee and heard "Hello Mummy" I look up and she is on the tractor with the owner of the park. Then later again I look up and here she is standing up on the back of her cousins bike.. then later I am walking past a tree, look up and here she is sitting up there. Atleast she is having fun!

I would also like to welcome Angie Naumowicz from Newcastle who will be a Gust Designer for the next few months. Angie has done some amazing layouts with this months kit.
