Shining star!

Yes Diva my little Bright Star!! Months of sitting outside an auditorium twiddling my thumbs for an hour wondering what on earth she is learning and hoping the expensive venture is worth it... WELL IT IS! She has a great time, and I have met some lovely mums there and today was the last day of term, it was also open day so we got to see what our kidlets had been learning over the last few months!!

Sooo without further ague, here is Miss Diva in all her performing glory lol.

Dancing and jumping in the rain lol.

We had a great down pour the other week, after a STINKING hot day. So my beautiful girls decided to go and splash and dance in the rain!! Such free spirits my kidlets lol.

The girls

You all hear the saying 'boys will be boys' but I have to say my girls will be boys too lol.

Here are a few snaps of them playing and getting into mischief.. Like drawing on each-other! Pushing the baby on the bike on the grass, knowing it will rip the grass and get them into trouble lol.. Thankfully they aren't sneaky with their mischief... YET!

You scream, I scream, We all scream for Ice cream!!!

Saturday afternoon as I was cleaning out my car, I hear the ice cream van approaching. I thought 'GREAT!! Ice cream vans like when we were kids'!! I raced inside and grabbed my purse and yelled out to the girls to come and get some ice cream.

They both picked out their choice and back home we went with our ice cream.. Apparently they melt REALLY fast nowadays so we got allot of mess out on the pergola and on the babes! More mess than they got ice cream lol...

Adventure! Maddison style...

Ahh the Joy of being a bub! Bruiser and Spooks (the cat, top left) decided to go for an adventure together recently.. This in itself is surprising, as the cat rarely has much to do with the children. I am unsure of whether they were at all aware of each-others company on this adventure, but they went the same way, stuck together until they realised that they both couldn't get to the property behind us. Then they both came back to the pergola lol...

putty cat!

Ahh Mr Spooks, our beloved cat! He makes us laugh (and cry) at the same time! Spooks LOVES to fight.. He has been desexed yet seems to attract male cats to his territory, and well, what better way to get rid of them but to fight?? The problem is HE CANNOT FIGHT to save his life. Now funny to think of a cat fighting knowing he can't and still trying. Not so funny the re-occurring vet bills. We keep him inside at night to help stop this fighting, but seems that he goes looking for it during the day (rolling my eyes here lol)

So this is the most recent effort by our Spooky, he had some mystery illness that stemmed from a fight injury, spent almost a week in hospital, we were told we may very well lose him, and cost us a pretty penny (thank GOD for pet insurance!!) Here he is all bruised and battered on his first night home from the vet. As you can see, he is most unimpressed lol...

They had to shave his neck to extract blood from his jugular and he had a drip and also another shaved area on his leg for injections of other things... quite complex lol.

Lasagna

Okay so here is a bit of the story behind the lasagna... (as you can see.. I am TRYING to teach myself how to do story boards on photoshop... it could be better lol)

Bruiser had Lasagna for lunch, thinks it's so nice she is going to paint it all over herself to keep as snacks for later. On our way to the bath, the EVER SO intelligent mummy decides to take some pictures... So Bruiser and her lasagna covered hands decide to grab at mummies lens, and then once she realised she couldn't see the lens for lasagna, wiped some off! (Can't miss a photo op that bruiser lol) Gosh I hope this works :) Click on it for larger image.
