homework

Homework is something the kids look forward to!! So after afternoon tea, Mummy gets all the books and pencils out and the kids all sit down at the table and start work. Matthew really enjoys this time because he gets to be the BIG boy who knows it all!! He loves to help the littlies with their homework and he tests BJ and Annie on their sounds. BJ too loves homework because he gets to write in his special books. Annie loves to colour in so this is a great time for her to do more!! And Lucy just doesn't like missing out on anything. Her motto is "If the big kids are doing it then so am I".

going 'home'

Benjamin and Annie had a mid-week church service for Mummy and Lucy. Benjamin was the music leader with his 'lead' guitar and 'music' book (which was to help him know how to play the songs!) and Annie was the prayer and piano player. The service began with BJ and Annie singing "Sunday Monday Happy Days, Tuesday Wednesday happy Days...." and continued on to "Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy...." After the music BJ sent Mummy and Lucy to 'Sunday School' so Annie and BJ could stay in BIG church (probably to do what ever they think the Mummy and Daddy's do on a Sunday!) Once Mummy and Lucy were called out of Sunday school, BJ and Annie packed up and went home!!

Trampoline tricks

The kids absolutely love their trampoline. They are always trying to 'strike a pose' when they jump.

On this particular day Annie was asking me frantically to take their picture because "these were the 'best ever' poses they have done". And these pictures are the proof!!

pizza night

the four munchkins eating their pizza

Usually we eat homemade pizza on Friday nights but this night we had a special treat as Mum ordered in Pizza Hut pizza!!! The kids were so excited to eat Pizza Hut as they have not had this for such a long long time. Matthew could hardly believe his eyes when Dad walked in the door with the boxes in his hands and BJ did a little dance to celebrate!

Ahoy there captain...

Ahoy there me hearties!!!

Matthew had so much fun dressing himself up as a pirate. Mummy only had to put the elastic on the eye patch and Matthew orgainsed the rest. All the kids have really enjoyed dressing up lately and playing games together.

skydiving!!

What do you do when you find swimming caps and goggles?? Go skydiving of course!! Benjamin, Annie and Lucy found their swimming caps and goggles and thought it was a good idea to go pretend skydiving off the trailer.

The kids had so much fun doing this and actually did some practise skydiving on the trampoline before they ventured off the trailer.
