Crazy Hair Day

Last day of term two was crazy hair day at school. We took some pics in the morning before we left the house.

Urban Art + Kids

Pennyweight lane in Bendigo has become an open air gallery for two Bendigo Artists. Rebecca Giles and Patsy Killeen. I thought that their street art would make a fabulous backdrop for my kids.

Winter is here

Walking yesterday evening at Lake Weeroona.

Oceangrove

We had a lovely weekend at Oceangrove. The weather was horrible but there was still plenty to do and see. We visited the Ford Discovery Museum in Geelong and enjoyed a couple of the beaches. Here are some of the photos.

Bendigo Beef Expo 2010

Tasha and Emily travelled up to Rochester today with the neighbours to watch dairy cows being milked. So that Rhys didn't feel left out, I took him to the Bendigo Beef Expo. Here are some photos of what we saw.

Photos from Rhys's birthday

Instead of playing Pin the tail on the Donkey, we played stick the mouth on Thomas. I hope that you like my artwork.


The sisters had to help unwrap.




Look at my cool truck card!

I am just soooo excited!

Rhys turns five on Monday

If he was a New Zealand resident it would be a huge milestone because he would be off to school. Because we live in Victoria he has to wait until the beginning of the 2011 school year. HIs birthday falls 10 days past the cutoff date. If he had been born before April 30th he would have started this year. He really needs to go to school. Being one of the oldest kids at Kinder and ABC has resulted in some "too big for boots" behaviour lately. He needs to become the littlest again soon! On the positive side he has started to write his name and has become very interested in reading words, letters and numbers. He is a real character and loves a bit of a laugh and is also known to have lovely cuddles and kisses when no one is looking ;-)

Bendigo Aerodrome

Rutan VariEze

The Rutan VariEze is a composite Canard Aircraft designed by Burt Rutan. It is considered a high performance homebuilt plane and hundreds of them have been constructed. It is the first one that I have ever seen. I found it absolutely fascinating which is why it has a post of it's own. The propeller is at the back and it has a fully retractable nosewheel which is why it is parked nose down in my photos. It just seems all round the wrong way, but apparently it flies really well.

School excursion to Bendigo Aerodrome

Today I tagged along with the junior school to the aerodrome. Here are some of the great sights and planes that we saw.
