After a great Miniroos session, I took the kids to a Circus Oz workshop. Daniel did not want to take part but Alex got right into it with a friend of his. They did drama style techniques like fast forwarding their movements, pretending to be in a freeze frame for a particular scene. Also some […]

It’s not the last week of March, but I am just beginning my blog posts on March! I’m desperately trying to catch up so that I am only a week behind, that way I hope to remember more meaningful things like conversations and little interactions, rather than just places we go. We had our first […]

We had planned a trip to Healesville zoo with friends and had an absolutely fabulous day! We watched the bird show, fed parrots, patted a lace monitor, played as vets and played in the nature space. Here are some pictures of the day:                     The parrot […]

The local council  hosts an annual sustainability expo and this year I took the kids. There was a petting zoo that the kids loved, Daniel was really keen on feeding the animals, but not holding them, and was putting food in his hands. Of course they had a snake which Alex just had to hold! […]

After a day at their grandparents playing with pigeons and chickens, I took Alex to karate. Afterwards he insisted on going to the toy shop to spend his birthday money. As we had already tried Target and Kmart and they had no transformers, I took him late night shopping at Toys R Us! They too […]

We made some creature power discs to go in the power suits as they only came with a few – so I printed them off the internet, we coloured, cut and laminated. Alex was trying to work out what all the creatures were and find his favourites. His other present arrived in the mail today – […]
