More Random Photos

Thought I'd add some random photos of the girls, showing some of the antics we deal with here!

This is Erika, at lunch time, displaying other uses for food. Did you know that a piece of bread makes an awesome moustache?!


Erika, at another lunch time, showing off her vampire fangs!


Erika managed to squeeze herself between my airer and the wall, and Kira thought she'd better join in:


Kira has long, under-the-bed plastic storage containers for her toys - she decided to turn one into a bed! Here she is, resting in front of the telly:


Erika standing!! She was only up for a moment, so didn't get to take a photo with her standing AND facing the camera (yet):

I thought Erika was in the lounge, til I heard her getting frustrated....that's when I saw her big blue eyes peeping at me over this chair! She'd gotten under the table from the other end, and was now blocked in by these chairs. Silly girl!



Kira just LOVES her Princess Belle (Disney) raincoat and matching rainboots! She HAD to try them on as soon as we got home...


...getting them off her was another story!! We can't wait til the wet weather becomes more permanent!

Easter Fun

Easter morning.....Kira and Erika discovered the Easter presents from Mummy and Daddy - a "Dora The Explorer" bug-catcher with 4 chocolate eggs for Kira, and for Erika, a plush pink bunny (you can see it's feet!) with 3 chocolate eggs. Of course, this meant they had to sample the chokkies before breakfast!


Then it was off into the garden to see if the Easter Bunny had been.....and he HAD!!


There were eggs EVERYWHERE! The Easter Bunny dropped chocolate eggs all over the lawn, in the garden beds under the pergola, and even in the vegie patch! Kira had heaps of fun finding them all - and she showed Erika every single egg, one at a time, before placing it carefully in the basket. Then, when Kira turned to go find more eggs, Erika would scoot up to the basket to take out the eggs for closer examination....Kira would come racing back to get Erika to put the egg back in the basket. It was a LONG morning!!


Check out the loot!! A chocolate bunny each, plus a baby chicken toy each (they "cheep" when you hold them), plus a basketful of dropped eggs. Kira was thrilled! (So were Mummy and Daddy - there's no way we were letting the kids eat all that, so we secretly "helped" when they were sleeping! Shhh!!!)

Do you think Kira likes chocolate?!


The kids got other prezzies, too. Here's Erika reading a story she got:


Kira was SO excited to get "Dora The Explora" pj's, she just HAD to put them on, over her dress!


Silly Kira!
