It's turned out that pretty much all of our friends only have female children. There are boys which my girls play with but they are far in the minority.
Yesterday Trelise noticed that Morimoto is a boy and she said "Mummy Morimoto is a boy and I can tell because I can see his dangly thing"
I admit that I've neglected the whole sex education thing. It hasn't really come up but we have had discussions on what the correct word is. So seizing the opportunity to again explain the differences between girls and boys I said "Trelise do you know what that's called?"
"No" she answered
"Well it's called a penis, can you say penis?"
She repeats and I follow on with "What's your bottom called?"
The answer?
"Duh, Normal" (in a rolling her eyes kind of way - she's getting a bit sassy of late!)

Wordful Wednesday
What do you do when you really really want to be naked but it's just a little cold?

You and your friends were all delighted and lined up to ride the unicorn
There goes my horse mad almost 5 year old!
Present time!

Since September!
It's been a while!
I have a few excuses but none really good enough!
So in the last 4 months this has been going on:
Halloween
This year we had a witch and two little devils
Sadly in-between arriving home and Halloween half Madeleine and Juliette's costumes either went astray or were broken! So at the last minute we swapped and they became
There's been alot of helping with rennovations
Not all of it helpful
We discovered that sand made a good medium to practice writing names
and that the strawberry festival was a good way to welcome in summer.
There was music
facepainting
a bouncy castle
and of course strawberries!
Wayne finally had a very successful fishing trip
We went to a superhero costume party and the girls were:
(I even straighened Jules hair!)
Here she is school bag on and ready to go!
and we said good bye to kindy :(
Trelise made a birthday cake from playdoh
She got to show her kindy friends some special times she had had at kindy
and finally one last game.
I promised myself I wouldn't cry!
And then Christmas rolled around
We fed the reindeer
and grew candycanes
left some snacks out for Santa
and low and behold it worked!!!
The candy canes grew
at the end of the day we had:
three happy girls
one bouncing trampoline
and a Daddy covered in stickers!
After Christmas Katie and Mal braved the insanity and gave the Oliver household a visit.
We had a blast and did some touristy things
We went to the bird santurday
and then to a farm park
We were sad to see them go but looking forward to meeting their new addition!
Then we went on a big adventure!
We drove through a river to get to this historic site
Never did find out what it was!
Then we picked strawberries
And lastly we went camping and got my absolute favourite picture
Phew!!!
