Visit to Grandma

I have been visiting Grandma every Monday (health of my crew permitting).  I drop Jack and Kinder, and then off to visit Grandma with the younger two.  Today was no exception.  Grandma seems well and very positive in herself, and had visits from Noel and Pam, and Sue and Sam over the weekend.  Paul and Allira had also sent photos of Greg's kids and grandchildren, so she had a bit of info to share.  Lachlan and Cooper are very relaxed around Grandma now, and show her their latest book/toy/iPad game!!

Sunday night relax...

I have been accused of letting the family standards down in my blogging regularity so I thought I would have my first attempt at a 'from the ipad' blog. We have just finished a very relaxed family catch up at our place which ended with the kids all watching the movie 'Shorts', (which my boys insist on calling 'that movie 'Pants''!

Dad has taken the required photos so refer to his blog for updates in on that front!

Jack had his last school transition session on Friday. We are all done with school stuff now until he meets his teacher for a one hour session just before my birthday. The school info night was on Thursday and there are 83 preps and 4 classes where they are keeping the kinder groups together so Jack should know a good 10 kids in his class including his 3 best mates. All in all I am a very happy Mum! We bought his school bag yesterday which he was impressed with because it weighs 'much less than my kinder bag!'. We had to explain the concept of a full bag versus an empty one! A few months more and I will have a school boy. Yipeeeee!

Big School Boy

A few days ago we had a big day out when Mr Jack got all ready for school next year.  Yes, his mother did have a 'moment' when she saw him in his big school outfit!!

Now we are Bloggers!!

After watching with awe the gloriousness of our family bloggers, we have decided to join in, and here is our first one!

The Badger Creek Caravan Park of our youth has been upgraded with a new swimming pool, jumping pillow and new play ground.  We had a fantastic weekend away.  The kids rode bikes and scooters, we went for a tour around Healsville and the local farmers market, and then came back to the caravan park to have a relaxed time enjoying the facilities.

Here is evidence that I did get in the water with my boys at Badger Creek.  It was a glorious afternoon, beautiful hot weather, perfect for caravanning and playing with our kids.

Lachy wasn't as keen on getting completely freezing, so Justin and I took it in turns paddling with him in the kids pool.

Fantastic time had by all.
