Daddy is an Aussie Citizen

(Georgia, Neve, Amy & Annabel)


This morning we proudly watched Daddy (Michael) make his affirmation to Australia and accept his Australian Citizenship. Yah. It has been 6 long years since we kicked off the process with visas. As Daddy often says "it would have been cheaper & faster to catch a boat to Australia." But now its done and Daddy's allegiances will have to change to support Australia in the cricket and rugby and he can now legally vote! he ha
The girls actually sat for an hour throughout the ceremony. I did have to bribe them halfway through with dried fruit and biccies. We sat with Anna, Neve & Amy, who are friends in our playgroup. So we were also able to watch Simon accept his citizenship.

Who Needs Expensive Toys??

Not us....It has been hot here the last few days and it is still only spring! So I have been letting the girls play out the back with a small bucket of water, some cups, a face washer and a pot plant. What more could two little girls want!!!! My pot plant has never seen so much water. They spent about an hour an half moving water between their buckets, Charlie's bowl and the pot plant.

Floriade

We spent yesterday with my MG at Floriade. It was lovely, great weather and a nice picnic lunch. We didn't really check out too many flowers but just hung around the Kids at Play area. The girls had a great time.
Today we went back with Nanna Shirley. We spent 3 hours looking at the flowers, feeding the ducks & playing at the park. Needless to say we were all pretty tired by the time we got home. We are loving someone else to play with and help entertain. I think next Friday will be a sad day when we put Nan on the plane to go home. I have told Nan she could take them back up home for a few years...but she said she is a bit worried about keeping up with them...they don't stop!!!

One Night in September
