Summer Afternoons

The windy weather this past week has been just perfect for kite flying....

 

So we've been making the most of it, as you do, getting our fill of windy action with some friends!!!

 

Connie (my 5yr old) even enjoyed a fly,

 

and loved every minute of it!!!! Next time she might even be ready to go solo...

 

 

Summer afternoons spent like this - finished off with a BBQ of coarse, are up there with my favourites - how 'bout you??? What's your favourite way to spend a Summer's afternoon where you come from???

Independent Women???

Most days my girls are up to their elbows in dirt working along side their 'Daddy' in the shed or out in the paddock........

I do so hope that all of this 'hand's on' learning they encounter will enhance the young independent women that they will hopefully one-day become.....

One can only hope, right????

24hr Bug.....

In the darkness of my bedroom DH clicks his mobile phone to capture these progress pictures of my latest knitting project......

My poor girls are bed-ridden (in my bed of-coarse) due to a '24hr bug/wog' that seems to be lingering for more like 48hrs..... sigh....

So amongst the spew-y towels and stink-y sheets I'm putting the finishing touches on this super cute extra slouchy hat that I started on Friday (pattern 'Norie' from 'The Shetland Trader' book)...

I'm using a gorgeous cotton/angora blend yarn that I'll tell you more about later....

But for now, I'm off to snuggle with my girls and pray that they sleep well through the night and wake with settled tummy's...

Blissful...

The squeals of excitement were hard to contain as 'Connie-Girl' rocked her way through her first dance class on Saturday morning...

She ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT and is now dreaming of some day dancing just like 'Angelina Ballerina'...

Could life be more blissful for my little 4yr old??? I think not!!!!
