Day 334 - Rollerblading Santa

I have begun my own little tradition of buying at least 1 new Christmas decoration each year. This year it was one I thought was rather cute. A rollerblading Santa, including the knee high rainbow socks. Now this is a cool Santa Claus!

Day 333 - Storms

We had a few wild storms here tonight. Now usually out of pure luck, the girls have slept through all the really good storms we have had. This afternoon it was the first time they have heard such loud thunder or even seen hail.

Poor Olivia was very scared, as was Ava as the night went on. I am hoping for a peaceful night sleep after the thunderstorms we have had.

Day 332 - A place to rest her head.

This is where we found Ava an hour after putting her to bed. You would have thought after not having a lunchtime nap that she would have flaked in her bed. Apparently not. Our company was obviously what she wanted, so she opened the door and lay down quietly and fell asleep in front of their bedroom door.

I was wondering how long it would take for one of them to fall asleep on the floor.

Day 331 - A blurry view from below

Today we had a catch up with Jodi, Jen, Julie and of course Cohen. It was a lovely day to catch up with lots of chit chat and plenty of food. It felt like forever since we had last caught up, and before they left for home today we begun to make plans for our catch up next month - which of course will be around the time the Jolly Fat Man in the Red Suit arrives.
As I was walking them out to their car this afternoon, Olivia followed us with my camera, which I thought was turned off! Apparently this is the view she saw walking out the front with Jodi and Jen. It is rather blurry, but what a clever chicken taking my photo of the day today!

Day 330 - Wake Up Jeff!

We went along to see The Wiggles 20th Birthday Show in the Big Top this afternoon with Teresa, Ian, Ella, Brydie and Kaleigh. The girls were enthralled with all the singing and dancing. Olivia didn't really move much from Shane's lap, Ava did a little bit of dancing, but it was Kaleigh and Ella who seemed to really get into the dancing. They seemed to have a great time.

The Wiggles were great, they had a lot of energy and really captivated my girls. Even though Olivia and Ava didn't know many songs, Ava tried to sing along to a few of the songs. I quite liked it when she bowed when The Wiggles did. What a performer she is going to become one day.

Day 329 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We have a wreath for our front door! I have been purchasing a few different things in preparation for Christmas. I can't wait to put all of our decorations up with the girls. I think they are going to have a lot of fun this Christmas.

Day 328 - A perfect lunch date.

Today, on a rare day the girls have care and I don't work, I caught up with Mel for a much needed catch up and lunch date. It was nice to sit and talk over lunch rather than trying to talk over our usual boxing and focus pads in our boxing classes.
We met at Brew Bar in Tuggeranong and ate quiche and salad, which was quite delicious. I am hoping that we have some more of these childfree dates before the end of the year.
