Pictures galore

It has taken a while to get used to the fact that I am blogging again, but I am starting to get into the habit of taking my camera with me. The photos aren't great but they tell the story. Some of the photos have even been a touch unflattering - sorry about that - and there aren't many of me because Andrew and I have the right to only put nice photos of ourselves on our own blog.




Jossie and Toby had a fabulous first couple of days at school. On Friday night they didn't want to go to their own rooms so Toby slept in Jossie's bottom bunk. It is so lovely that they get on well so much of the time, especially considering how awful I was to Tim when we were kids! I usually make a treat for their lunchboxes so on Thursday afternoon Bethany donned her Dora apron and helped me make wholemeal chocolate oat bikkies. Sometimes I make little choc chip cakes in mini muffin tins which are a bit better than the bikkies in that I don't like them nearly as much and they don't taste great frozen like the bikkies do! Once a week they are allowed a bought snack like a muesli bar or Tiny Teddies because the other kids get packets of things and they want them too.

After a lovely sleep in on Saturday morning we all headed off to the Junee Pool. Andrew and the kids had lots of fun playing with this very friendly butterfly (I'm not into touching bugs....or any animals really).

After the swim everyone shared some Twisties.

Inspired by Jessica I present some not terribly good photos of what we have eaten this week.
