We have had a very quite day today because has been doing some marking already. I don't like it when she does marking, it is very very boring. Luke and I have been keeping out of the way and entertaining ourselves today.

We have been out on the trampoline watching the farmer make bales of hay.

We have been in the sandpit making roads and playing with the trucks and diggers.

We have been colouring in and drawing pictures.

We made some popcorn and watched a DVD.

We played outside on the swings and on the slide.

We played with Luke's new train set.

We played with my new Barbie doll's house.

We read some books and I told Luke what the things were in the pictures.

We played with Kate and made her laugh.

We had a bath and did lots of laughing.

Hang on a minute, that wasn't such a boring day after all! It is very good thing that I have a brother to play with when Mummy is busy!

Grace

All gone . . .

Today Gracie took off with the biscuits and left me with the empty packet.

How rude!

Luke

I am really enjoying the apples and . . .

. . . today I was allowed to play with a spoon while Mummy was feeding me.

But I suspect that was to distract me.

Kate

What have you been up to Grace? ? ?

Hanging out with my Daddy. Today I was supposed to go to gymnatics and Kindy, but when we were driving into town Daddy got a terrible mygrain. He ended up going to bed at Gran's house and I ended up hanging out with Gran. Poor Daddy, but lucky me!

When Daddy was feeling a bit better we went and did some shopping with my birthday money, then we went to the supermarket. I don't normally go to the supermarket, so that was something different for me to do.

When we got home I found out the Saskia, Isaiah and baby Seamus had been for lunch (without me! How rude!) They brought a waterslide around for Luke and I for our birthday, I was very very excited to find it when I got home. Thanks Saskia!

There's a lot happening over the fence . . .

We have had a home day today. There has been lots of things to watch today because the plumbers have been next door with their little digger putting in new pipes and the farmer has been out on his tractor cutting the grass (or hay?) in the field.

There has been heaps of activity. Luke and I weren't to sure what to watch first really.

Grace

Happy birthday to me . . .

. . . and to Mummy. Hooray today is our actual birthday. This morning when everyone got up I got more presents! Mummy and Daddy brought me some DVD's, some books and a train set! How did they know that I love train sets! I was very excited to open my presents.

We have had a lovely day at home, Mummy has been playing with us and relaxing. Daddy has been cleaning the house and made a lovely roast lamb dinner.

Luke

Cheeky Kate . . .

Pirates and strawberries . . .

Today at Playcentre one of the bigger boys said lets build a boat with the tyres, so we did! We made a great big boat (that turned into a pirate ship). We found lots of costumes and had a great time.

This afternoon Mummy and I were checking my garden and I found that one of my strawberries was ready to pick! Hooray I got to it before the birds did. It was very very yummy. I shall be watching very carefully for the next one to be ready.

Grace

I had another lovely morning at Playcentre . . .

There weren't many kids at Playcentre today. But wasn't a problem though because there was still lots of things happening (and I didn't have a problem getting hold of the hose).

Luke

I just did the usual today . . .

feeding, sleeping and being adorable.

It's a hard job - but someone has to do it.

Kate

Happy birthday to me . . .

Hooray today is my birthday! I am four years old today. This morning I woke Daddy up early and then we woke Mummy up so that I could open up my presents. Mummy and Daddy brought me lots of lovely things, but by far the best is my new Barbie house! It is very very very cool, I love it!

I didn't go to swimming this morning, Mummy said it would just be mean to let a little girl open up her presents and then make her go into town for the day. That was fine by me, we stayed home all morning and I play with my new toys.

We did go into town after lunch though so I could go to Kindy. We all stayed today, Mummy said she was to tired to go anywhere else. Because it is my birthday I got to sit on the birthday chair today at Kindy. Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and then we did pony claps (the birthday person gets to choose what sort of claps they want to do).

After Kindy we rushed down the road to dancing, then after dancing we went back to Gran's house for a visit. I had an ice cream at Gran's house, then I showed her how good I am at peeling the carrots. I think she was impressed with how clever I am.

Our final stop for the day was to the park in Wakefield, Mummy, Luke, Kate and I were all playing there, I showed Mummy how brave I am and fed the big horse grass out of my hand. While we were there Daddy showed up with tea for everyone! Hooray for Daddy.

We had a lovely tea, lots of fun and then on the way home I travelled in Daddy's car. I was sound asleep by the time we got home. When Mummy carried me into my bed I woke up and said 'I want to play'. She said to lie down and have a wee rest and she would be back to play when she had sorted the little ones out.

I didn't get to play. But I did have a good long sleep.
