We have just got back from two amazing weeks in Perth - I have so many photos to sort through and when I finally do, some Perth posts will be coming! The kids were very sad to leave Perth and having Aunty arriving in Karratha the day after we got home was the only thing that enticed them to come home (and seeing Daddy of course). Harrison made a count down calendar for our visit to Perth and Aunty coming. Sienna and Harrison have been asking about when Aunty will come for weeks! So to say they were excited on the day she was due to arrive would be a massive understatement! They were bouncing off the walls with excitement!!
Harrison and Sienna made signs to hold up for Aunty at the gate. Sienna kept holding hers upside down. I did take photos on my phone of them running to Aunty and hugging her but they were blurry.
Alissa watching the kids and Aunty on the trampoline...just waiting for her turn!
Aunty always spoils the kids with presents - Harrison with a Lego technic set from Aunty...his favourite!
Sienna with a wooden tea set (complete with cakes and goodies) from Aunty.
It is SO cute!
Aunty's first snuggles with Alissa.
Wrestling with the kids...I think Aunty was thinking "why did I extend my stay?" right about now! We then went to the Tambrey Tavern for dinner and had a lovely night (but unfortunately Clinton lost his phone).
Pirate Pete left Sienna some pirate chocolates!
Hunting for treasure!
Wow! Lots of treasure!!
Meanwhile, Sienna and Aunty were busily making crafts together.
Harrison loved all his "treasures".... that Pirate Pete sure knows him well.
Aunty and Sienna watching the unwrapping...
So many special things! Very spoilt Harrison.
Then of course - some more bouncing!! Harrison loved his pirate hat and didn't take it off until bed time (he tried to sleep with it on but Mummy said no).
One of the perks of Aunty staying is the treats she brings. Sienna has a whole bag of mini lolly pops and decided to eat two at the same time yesterday!
Alissa had her first time in the swing yesterday and loved it. We pushed her very softly.
This is a photo I took of Alissa before we left for Perth - I just love this one and didn't want to forget to put it on my blog.
One of the first things the kids showed Aunty was the new trampoline and of course they expected her to have a go! Poor Aunty. She was pretty good at doing 'sit drops' as you can see in this photo, Harry was impressed!
The next day Aunty came with us to Sienna's dancing lesson. For some reason when anyone watches Sienna at dancing she goes all weird and shy. She kept stopping and coming over to us. We tried to bribe her to dance in exchange for some Maccadonuts (McDonalds) after class. During the singing time at the end of class Sienna blurted out "is it finished? Can we go to Maccadonuts now?" The teacher said, "no Sienna, it's not time yet". Oops! haha! Here is a picture of Sen in her new ballet slippers. Cute!
After picking Harrison up from school he was excited to see a treasure map from "Pirate Pete" on the gate. Whenever Aunty visits, Harrison inexplicably gets a visit from Pirate Pete. He never sees this mysterious pirate but finds a treasure map and clues that lead to treasure around the house. He adamantly still believes in Pirate Pete and loves these special treasure hunts...thanks Aunty....wink wink.
On Wednesday morning we went out for breakfast at Soul Café in town. Sienna loved her banana smoothie and egg on toast.
I'm excited to share some photos we took last night at Hearson's Cove...they are coming soon! In the meantime we are enjoying Aunty Tam's company!!
