Having a camera on your phone is good and bad. It's good in that you always have a way to document everything that happens anywhere, anytime. Bad because you end up with thousands of photos and videos and it's hard to know what to do with them all! Here is a snapshot of a few things that happened in October and November (not in chronological order).
Harrison started the basketball season again in term four with the same team, the Lakers. His best friend Michael decided to play too but ended up on a different team. Here they are at the end of a game, best friends on different teams.
India and Zara at basketball
Our friend Leanne was babysitting a baby joey and brought him around one day for Alissa to cuddle, only in the country!
After Alissa's school readiness on a Thursday a group of her friends and their mum's regularly went out for frozen yoghurt together. Alissa is very social and loved her little group at school readiness.
Harrison and Sienna's school had a Halloween school disco - here is Sienna with her fellow witches Ella and Charlie.
Alissa got her face painted at the school disco...of course she chose a cat!
On a Saturday afternoon we were invited to our neighbour Claire's house for a Halloween party. Claire is Irish and showed us some cool Irish Halloween traditions, her parents were visiting too and they made lots of delicious food. The kids all had a blast!
Halloween was Monday night and I took the kids trick or treating - India came too as she was with us after school everyday while Georgia was in Perth with Reeve (he had his tonsils out).
Lots of houses get into Halloween in Karratha and kids ended up with way too many lollies!
A day at the beach in Port Samson
The kids had fun searching the rock pools
We got McDonalds one Saturday morning and took it to back beach to eat...we spotted tons of tiny red crabs. They were too fast to catch or take photos of though.
Harrison took this photo of Zara one morning before school
Out for dinner at the Tambrey with friends before it got too hot!
Another afternoon spent at Hearson's
I had such a lovely birthday - the kids gave me these precious handmade cards in the morning.
Then Georgia dropped Zara and I at the airport and we flew to Perth to meet Clinton who was already there on business. The Baker's looked after Sienna and Alissa and the Pilkington's had Harrison for two nights while we were in Perth. It was the best present they could ever give me!
Kate picked me up on the Friday and we went shopping together and had lunch. It was so nice to be with one of my sisters on my birthday. Lucy adores Zara and calls her "baby tiny."
Kate dropped me into the city on Friday afternoon and I met Clinton after he finished work. I chose Japanese for dinner at one of my favourite restaurants 'Matsuri.'
Then we shared a dessert platter at Koko Black...heavenly!
Clint and I shopped on the Saturday and managed to buy a few of the kids Christmas presents. Then on Saturday night we went to Jamie's Italian for dinner, Zara had a great time (until she started the scream the place down and we felt like we should go!).
Our delicious food...Clinton got the shepherds pie and I got a chilli and prawns pasta. We shared salt and pepper squid and arancini balls.
Flying home to Karratha on Sunday morning after a perfect, relaxing birthday weekend. Thank you Amy and Georgia!
Georgia sent me this photo of the girls enjoying their time while we were away.
Clinton back at work after his shoulder surgery...he could barely dress himself and was back at it after a few days.
