Parks and picnics



Standing in line at the playground - note the new 'hat', the old one was finally too small (and this one is even brighter!!)

Two wise old women - they do have a wonderful time together

Playing soccer with Nanna - she's rather dangerous! Direct hit on Olivia

We love parks - who doesn't, and so head to one whenever we can. Today we headed to Suttons Beach early for a picnic with Nanna before the crowds arrived for the day and had a great time exploring, walking the board walk and playing soccer with Nanna (you have to watch her, she has a lethal boot!). The shot of the girls playing with Nanna shows the ball heading towards Olivia and apparently it hit it straight on the bottom I'm reliably informed - lethal Nanna strikes again! We had boiled eggs, sandwiches and watermelon for lunch (at 10.30am - as you do) and were heading out as the crowds were arriving for the real lunchtime, straight to the Golden Arches for a hot drink for Nanna and Mummy, and a play in the playground for the girls. Nothing too exciting, but gee I'm tired now!

Greg's at work again - public holidays mean nothing in our family. He's overnighting at a friends place up there tonight and working again tomorrow to catch up on all the Monday work that won't get done today, so there will be some excited girls after Kindy tomorrow afternoon when he picks them up!

The good news is that we are getting the carpet laid at the house this Friday, kitchen next week hopefully and then a couple of other things associated with that and we'll be in - it's getting very exciting now!!!! The curtains are up in the girls rooms (thanks Nanna!), some furniture is in the main living areas and steadily we're seeing progress - it's going to be so great to finally move into our home, six months after we bought it...
