Just keep swinging, just keep swinging.......

It seems that our days are filled with trips to the gym or going to the swings and most days have both. Kirrily LOVES going to the swings and to make things more exciting, we don't usually go to the same set in the same week (spoilt for choice up here). Hayley was sitting on the sidelines for a few months until she realised "hey i want some of that action" so now i can't stop her. she too now loves the swings. The 'spider web' swing in Pelican Waters is their favourite as they can go together and Hayley also can't fall off very easily. Here are the monkey's.

This is the 'spider web' swing.

Hayley refuses to get out after her swing and grips on. she uses her feet and fingers to not leave. Once you've ungripped (is that a word) the fingers, the toes cling to the web and then you undo the toes and she's got her hands back to holding on again. Cheeky mite.

Golden Beach new swings

They've up fixed up the old swings with lovely new one's (you can see the red tape behind Kirrily). It now has a pretend petrol station and several other kiddie things to keep them amused.

BAck and posting again

I've been caught up in the world of Facebook and gym and everything else that goes with 2 little kiddies. Not much time to blog. So here's some new photo's that i've downloaded. haven't even had a chance to do much of that lately.

The monkey's on the slipper dip at Golden Beach

this used to be too hard for kirrily to climb on, she couldn't move it back and forwards and was also too frightened at one point to ride this 'snail'. Now she can't do those things as she's too big, almost. :-)

My masterchef. She has this lovely new apron and hat from Christmas. the books say "if they make it themselves, they'll eat it". Books wrong again. Think they can go in the recycle now. Kirrily loves to chop, bake, stir and lick the spoon but when it comes time to eat it - NOPE!!! We'll get there, i hope.

We are constantly visiting the ginger factory. it's a great time out for both of the girls and i also get to buy my favourite 'bean' when we visit. lately it's been weekly with the flower festival, buying more plants, more beans and "can i go on teh train again". The train is a bit weird as it goes out to a paddock and there are chooks and that's about it. $5.50 to see some chooks?

Kirrily's also back at swimming lessons. She has a new teacher after last year's debarcle with her other teacher. She's now with Sarah. She is fantastic and doesn't shove her under the water. Kirrily is doing everything the teacher asks and goes under the water herself, whereas before she didn't want to through fear of being shoved under. Today was her 2nd lesson with sarah and she's doing brilliantly.

we've had more rain than we need. after 6 months of nothing, the God's made up for it and dumped the lot in 1 day. Oh well, tank full i suppose and david's new drain worked. We also blocked off the neighbours water from coming into our property and it's amazing how much better it is. not sure he would appreciate it but that's just bad luck. He's a shocker.

Going to start my 2nd 12wk challenge on 27th Feb. That means no more little sneaky bad foods and loads of exercise. Holly is a brilliant trainer. I thought Jayne trained me hard, Holly is insane but i'm feeding off that and inspired to keep going. Who would have thought i'd be a gym junkie. I certainly didn't.
