Afternoon Fun with Daddy

Willians Edward playing swing soccer with Daddy. The idea is that you have
to kick the ball while swinging on the swing. The boys invented the game!!!

Playing soccer with Daddy


Michael doing a great job at totem tennis, while Timothy tries out
another puddle of mud!!! It had rained during the day!!

This was the most exciting time of the afternoon: wow!! splashing in the mud!!!
It's a hole in the back yard ... dug out by older brothers ... just fills up everytime it rains!!
That's what we call: "C-L-E-A-N . . . F-U-N!!!!"

March Madness..!!

The boys just love climbing in our jacaranda tree ... they are filthy when they come inside, but are happy which is the most important thing!! (A warm soapy bath fixes the rest!!)

Timothy enjoying peeking at mummy from his perch with a packet of biscuits!!


A busy boy found the cupboard unlocked!!!
Now we try to keep it locked, he loves the sugar pot!!!

Poor little Timothy: a mozzie bit his top eyelid, which got infected by a fast spreading ???
that then got a scab and sometimes even kept spreading!!
After antibiotics and some antibiotic cream, we think ... hope and pray ... it's gone!!!

This was our Saturday morning at Bribie Island when Willians E had "chicken pox".
It was terribly windy but we all loved it! Then had our sandwiches for lunch,
played on the playground, then went home and mummy went ALONE to the ministry at Bracken Ridge in the afternoon, and daddy went ALONE for the night session. A lovely day!!!

The boys playing in the sand

Timothy trying not to be blown away by the wind!

Mighty Michael up on the playground!!

High up on the playground

Daddy and his boys (and one who thought we could have a silly photo!!)

Mummy's helpers, making sure they are close enough to help!!!
Making yummy balls!!!

One of the many lego creations we have nowdays.

Timothy happily on his perch ... yes, from where he falls time and time again!!!
Am trying to keep him standing on a chair at the bench ...
poor kid seems to be an expert in finding a high spot then crashing to the ground!!! :(
Special fun with daddy!

February Fun..!!

A proud boy helping his great grandpa fix the verandah gates!!!

Three happy boys who love each other!


Willians with his Preschool Certificate, feeling very proud and happy
