This morning Asha started the pre-primary grade at ballet, graduating from her pink leotard of choice to the mandatory white studio leotard...things are getting serious now! New colour, new teacher, new music and new moves, ahhh how refreshing!
With all three of my kids now at school or kindy on a Friday I feel an expectation is upon me that I will fill my idle time (ha ha) in the office. So this morning I ventured in and found that a lot has changed in the last five years. Of course I know the business, the building and the ongoing politics but the new computer system sent me for a bit of a spin. I used to be able to negotiate RMS in my sleep however today even the exceptionally sim
Aaden is by far my fussiest eater, especially when it comes to fruit and vegetables. Even sandwiches can be a challenge as he refuses to eat any filling other than Vegemite and cheese or peanut butter and honey (he doesn't need to know that this is actually tahini and rice malt syrup). Today however, as we drove home from school pick up and the girls started to devour the left over food in their lunch boxes, Aaden hungrily ate a piece of Charli's chicken and avocado sandwich! Obviously the mistake I have been making is not marinating his sandwiches in a hot school bag before serving.

Here is our very first look at our brand new niece and nephew Drew Elizabeth Rose and Jack Attenborough McCoy. After a long and anxious wait we were overjoyed to hear that they had been delivered tonight. Although we know little more than their names and that they are around 3 kilograms each in weight, we are so relieved that they have arrived and that both babies and their mum (although exhausted and in pain from an unplanned c section) are healthy. Oh and we know one other thing...they are just a wee bit adorable!
With our business now on the market, the thought that someday soon we may not live so close to our beautiful beach, is a harsh reality. Today we decided to head out to the Burleigh Breaka Pro Surf competition on the Burleigh Headland, not that we have the slightest interest in surfing but it's time to live as the locals do! The sun was shining, the headland was packed and our take away lunch from RAW was delicious. I simply love Burleigh. Oh and I love that I managed to salvage some of the free flavoured milks the kids received from the promo girls and was able to sneak in some spinach and chia seeds before the kids devoured them for dessert!
