Cairns

Andrew had an interview in Cairns for the GP program he had applied for, so we all went along for a little holiday! We decided to be a little crazy and camp... bad idea!  It was rainy and the toilets and kitchen were pretty far away from our site and we just aren't camping people (especially not with 3 little kids!) The place we were staying was really fun for the kids though with heaps to do, pools and a splash park, playground, mini golf, bouncy castles...  Charlie and Elly even got to try snorkelling! It was pretty fun for them!

Mount Isa Show

With Elly's kinda we were doing a fundraiser at the Mount Isa Show, and because I was working it I got free entry! The kids were young enough that they got free entry, so on the Saturday I was super brave and took the kids by myself because Andrew was working.  We had a lot of fun but I don't think I'd do it again on my own!!

One Week of Winter

We got one week of winter here in Mount Isa and it was so nice!!!  But now its back up to 30 already which I'm a bit sad about.  We even had to go out and buy a little heater because Hazel doesn't keep blankets on and was waking up at night because it was so cold (and by so cold we're talking like 5 degrees!) It was pretty windy too which I think made everything feel colder.  It's hard when your house isn't insulated at all!  I'm hoping we get another couple of weeks of colder weather yet this winter!

The kids favourite place to play!

Hazels first pigtails!

We did another adventure walk up the hill across the street but this time we went to Coles first and got unicorn ice cream cones and played on the rocks!  The kids thought it was the best thing ever!

Elly loves to help out in the kitchen!

I was too cheap to buy Charlie's school pictures so instead I took a photo of the one hanging in their classroom!

Hazel in her cute winter clothes that she'll probably only get to wear a handful of times...

I bought some new bows from Kmart and Elly insisted on having them all in at once!

All ready for school!

Ellys kindy went on a tour to Woolworths, and Hazel and I got to tag along!

In the bakery they got to play with bun dough and see how buns and rolls are shaped,
they also got to see bread getting cut in the big machine! 

They got to go in Maxi Taxis which Elly was so thrilled about!

With Andrew working in ED now I can leave Hazel at home while she's napping!  I took Elly on a date; we went to Coles and bought pink milk and doughnuts, then went to the library and read heaps of books!  Elly was in heaven!

Hazel all bundled up 

Hazel was invited to a tea party birthday party which I think she really enjoyed! She loves getting dressed up!
