| Max in palaeontologist mode |
 |
| Now I am SIX! He loved his kaleidoscope, one of the little presents that we saved for his actual birthday. As Aaron was away on the 11th, Max had his presents given to him - one each day - for the week before the big day! Lucky boy! |
 |
| Max and his best mate Mitchell... and 'the birthday day birthday cake'. |
 |
| Dummy and high heels... love the contradiction. |
 |
| I think she's ready for a base position in Max's teeball team ;) |
 |
| Halloween face - scary! |
 |
| At Poppy's Hawaiian party at HJ's. |
 |
| Cleo can't get enough of this car! |
 |
| Melissa, look familiar?! I framed the paperdolls and hung over Cleo's cot... so cute. |
 |
| I was banned from any involvement with the tree. Too particular, apparently. It looked like a dog's breakfast, but the kids were incredibly proud of the tree. Max had his angel - made in kindy - at the top. Cleo would guide each visitor to the tree with 'look!'. Precious times. |
 |
| I love Cleo's hair up like this, but she rarely allows it. |
 |
| Chalk on pavers kept them quiet and busy for ages. |
 |
| ... and afterwards, we moved onto playdough. School holidays are exhausting, no? Note Cleo giving the playdough the taste test. The verdict? Not so nice. |
 |
| Max's class concert, 2010. His class was a kindy/PP split. |
 |
| Cleo at her daycare Christmas party. |
 |
| Strongest baby in the world. |
 |
| Max has quite a penchant for this face. |
 |
| Max's own creation. He is an awesome Lego builder. |
 |
| Curly top. |
 |
| This is Sophia, a class mate of Max's who ADORED Cleo. |
 |
| Marise and Lilijana, the gorgeous two teacher's aides. |
 |
| Moira Watson, Max's PP teacher. Gorgeous! |
 |
| Because December didn't feel stressful and busy enough (??!!), I made some singlets for Cleo. Bonds singlets plus op shop doilies plus old buttons = cute! |
 |
| My unwilling model. |
 |
| First day of our pre-Christmas camping holiday... a holiday which involved a lot of icy pole eating. |
 |
| The Bouncing Pillow, at the camp ground. So much fun! So very exhausting, though! |
 |
| At Yallingup Maze... an awesome place to visit! |
 |
| In the extended grounds of the maze. |
 |
| Chocolate tasting at the Margaret River Chocolate Company. |
 |
| Oops: waste not, want not. |
 |
| I think we might've conquered Aaron's fear of snakes, at a local reptile park. It helped that the creatures were behind glass, of course... |
 |
| Breakfast at our camp. We opted for posh camping this time, and had both POWER and an en suite bathroom! (Still love Contos, as basic as it is.) |
 |
| These button fingers started life as a gingerbread house. Too hard. Failed at sticking the walls together. Plan B: fingers! Cleo has a look of chocolate overload about her! |
 |
| ... yes, definite chocolate overload. |
 |
| T'was the night before Christmas... |
