The Beach Visit

"Mum, can you take me to the beach tomorrow".

Kirrily has been asking me for weeks, over and over and over again to take her to the beach. So we went to Big W and splurged on the most expensive bucket and spade (well the lot cost about $4 so not a huge splurge). She picked the blue bucket and the light blue spade and carried it everywhere through the shops. When we got home the "mmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam, can you take me to the beach tomorrow" kept going and going again.

We crumbled yesterday. The weather was only 23 but with a little cloud cover we put on her "Santa's" pink beach shoes and took the bucket and spade to Happy Valley.

She shells were fantastic and even lots of little bits of coral were along the beach. We were collecting for about an hour, the bucket was filling fast before we finally dragged her away. Kirrily had a fantastic time and Hayley didn't miss out either. She was in the sling on the front of david laughing and squeeling in delight and excitement watching kirrily. Or was she just trying to tell me i'm mad for going in the water up to my knees. I would have gone further but i didn't take my swimmers. The water temp is a cool 20deg which isn't too bad for winter.

Here she is:

Back and Blogging again

Well it's been a long time between blogs but spare time is a luxury lately.

Kirrily's birthday cake turned out better than i'd expected. And even if the icing wasn't 100% perfect, do you think Kirrily knew or even worried. No way.

Here are some photo's of what we have been getting up to recently.

Cupcake Teahouse - Buderim

The cupcake of choice was one covered in bright pink icing. Who would have guessed. Pretty similar to the colour of her shirt.

Hayley's first ride going fowards in her new car seat

Hayley is pretty pleased with herself in her new surrounds and loves facing forwards in the car. when you turn around there is always a cheeky grin waiting.

One of 'those' photo's.

I've been told that this beanie (thanks to Panadol) will be one of those moments you will just have to bring up at her 21st birthday. It's a dragon and keeps her lovely and warm. What you can't see is the dragons tail at the back of the beanie.

Hayley's first ride on the 'swings'

We arrived at Picinic Point and kirrily loves these swings so was happy for hayley to share some sea-saw time with her. (that's Pop's arms holding hayley on).

You will see that in the photo's we've had to get out the jumpers or long sleeves. who would have thought. Once it gets below 20 degress we all become cold frogs (or whimps).
