I'm an ideas woman!

What do you do when you want to spend some quality time with friends and not be interrupted by the kids??
Stick em outside with the hose and a few cans of shaving cream!! I promise you won't hear from them for hours.

Daddy's home

Had Simon home for an unexpected week (he has been on the road for 12 or 13 weeks straight, we've lost count) and we had the most lovely time doing not much at all.

Ladies Night Out

Sam (far right) one of our expat friends is moving on to Canada so of course, we had to have a girl's night out to celebrate. . . our friendship that is, not her leaving!!

Ashley graduates

Ashley had her, ahem, Kindergarten (our Prep) Graduation at the beginning of June. She had her grade 6 buddy walk her to the stage where the principal handed Ashley her, ahem, graduation certificate. We are very proud of Ashley who has worked hard and got her first good report card. She fluffs her feathers a little at the thought of being a '1st grader' now.

Fort Worth, Texas

I'm a little behind on updates!! After Mum and Dad went home we drove to Fort Worth Texas (4hrs from home and a sister town to Dallas) to spend a w/e with Simon. Didn't do much 'cept laze in the hotel pool and eat out.

A certain miss was grumpy and not wanting to partake in the making of memories so we made one without her (almost anyway)

Ahh the old ice-down-the-shirt trick!

I'm sure we've shown you pictures of the freeway systems here before but its always good for a look
