a nod to healthier days

Bit of a day of sickness in our house today with Aski down and me fighting something off... here's a nod to healthier happier days...

An old video from a camping trip to Lennox heads that I just came across. How can you say no to that little face at the end? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtbdInh8tes

BMXing in the sunshine

A Saturday afternoon spent with the cousins at the BMX park...
Get better!!??
Arkie, as always, in amongst it with the bigger kids.
11 seconds of potential bike riding brilliance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF-N2pTLfi4
Aski took the two middle shots so they had to make it in.

the joy creativity brings

I'm constantly surprised by the amount of joy that comes with creating something.
A bit of a lull in work has allowed me to indulge in a little creating of late.
Oh the joy and fulfillment!
My latest design for Arkie: the 'Holly Hobby' dress.
She's obviously quite happy with the finished result.

what else?

The kiddies have new bedrooms!
Cal took on Aski's and built the most amazing bed ever.
Loft bed with built in shelving and stairs.
Aski absolutely loves it and treats it more like the cubby house that it is!
I had a bit of creative fun with a bit of cheery yellow in Arkie's.

the biggest backpack ever

Another long pause in between posts due to camera issues - apologies!
What has happened since my last post?
Lots...
We got into Rainworth State School for Prep 2010.
Major cause for celebrations.
Aski very excited about uniform and school backpack.
Backpack so big that Arkie fits in it!
