January was a really busy month! With the kids on summer holidays, we had lots of activities during the week and on the weekends. While down south we also did a bit of fishing, life-size animatronic dinosaurs came to town, we caught up with some friends and grandparents, and lots of wildlife around our house stopped in to say ‘Hello!’
A total of 5 very small fish caught over two nights -- the kids rated it a massive success!
Lots of great things happened in November, here’s the run down: Summer is slowly arriving with only one or two hot days here and there, RJ and Dad see some airplanes take off, RJ goes to some birthday parties, Mum catches LR at camp for a day, Dad and RJ hit the beach, someone got older, and LR’s year one class visits a wildlife preserve.

Time for a quick icecream break on a hot summer day.
Mum went away last weekend, so it was up to Dad to keep things under control. On Friday night we went to the beach for a quick play, then picked up fish & chips for dinner.
Dad: This single-parent thing is a piece of cake!
LR was desperate to get up onto the monkeybars on her own.
... And after many attempts she made it!
We don't get a lot of snow around here. We just make do with what we've got.
RJ was not impressed when he realised his toy was broken.
RJ cheered up again pretty quickly, in time to play airplanes on the swing.
LR: Why did the elephant paint his feet yellow?
Because he wanted to hide upside down in the custard!
LR: Why did the elephant paint himself purple, with a green face?
Because he wanted to hide in the purple carrot patch!
RJ: Why was the ship missing?
Because the Kraken already smashed it!
LR: What is a slug?
A snail with a housing problem!
RJ: Why did the chicken cross the playground?
To get to the other slide!
Mum: Why did the fish cross the playground?
To get to the other tide!
LR: Why did the cow jump over the moon?
Because the farmer had cold hands!
LR: What’s the scariest flower in the garden?
A dandelion!
Dad: What’s the scariest flower in the whole world?
A daisy. With a lion hiding behind it!
