We get to go to a wedding! :)

(And without having to madly memorise vows at the very last minute behind the hedge.. ;) )Jill and Jacob, guess you know we're coming! :) and we are so looking forward to it!! (Very clever to get married before you have children too, why didn't we think of that? ;-) )
All the best and see you soon! And lovely invite!

Totally wild

Auntie Carin picked Katie up from kindy today. Came home to find this crazy girl. (Every baby sitter's night mare? :) ) Cute and crazy... :)

Long day.

We should have bought the reclining bike seat...

Feeding the birds

Scary, those doves. Ducks are nicer.

At IKEA

A lot of square meters to chase Katie around. Getting onto christmas now. :)ate gingerbread.

One sock McG

Chilling with her cuddly friends in front of the TV.

Night Owl

Katie is finally asleep. It is 2130...

After playing all day at daycare you would think that she would be a little bit tired at night time. Not likely. She has been in a great mood all night playing happily. At 2000 Sara started to get her ready for bed. The only problem is that when she gets into bed the only thing she wants to do is go through the days events. She can lie there and go through every little thing that has happened - several times (you start off repeating yourself, grow out of it, and then grow back into it when you hit the later years of middle-age). After a awhile we usually leave her to it, letting the dolls take our place. Otherwise she can carry on indefintly. Tonight she wasnt having any of it. When I said that I was going out she kicked up a fuss and started complaining that then she wouldn't have anybody to talk to. "The dolls cann't talk to me".

Fast food generation

Christmas shopping break at burger king. :)cant shop on empty stomachs.

Just like subway.

The big bus trip

Katie was looking forward to going on the bus all day. This is what she saw of it! She has been really moody the last couple of days. Really pushing the boundaries and driving us insane! I hope this is just a phase and not something that is here to stay...

Ooops

Poor Katie is home sick today. I was sitting on the couch and she was on the floor watching pippi longstocking. I looked down and she was out.

Finally asleep...

Katie and I went to the swimming pool today. Up and down the hydroslide non-stop with some intermittent laxing out in the hot pools. Halfway through our hydro slide episode Katie let go of my legs and slipped away from me with about half the slide left. I decided that it was better that she carry on by herself than to try and catch up and either a) bowl her over or b) come crashing down on her in the pool at the bottom. She carried on like nothing happened and splashed into the pool and bobbed around waiting for me. She looked at me quizzically and asked "What happened to you Dad"? Then it was straight back to the top for another run.
After thrashing around for an hour and a half in the pool you think that she would be tired... No

Katie and I made bread when we got home. It was well past 2030 when we were done. You would assume that by this stage she would be getting tired... No.

After half an hour of singing in bed the mischief started "Im thirsty", "I need to do poos", "I want some bread", Telephone rings; "I want to talk to Randi" and then finally, "I need my dolls". After stacking them up in her bed she turned to me and asked quite seriously "But where will I sleep now?" Based on current form, you probably won't!
