Sarcastic Mom, Lotus started this meme and now she is giving away prizes  at the end of the year for participation! So, if you were thinking about joining in, now is definitely the time to have a go! (Heidi, I’m talking to you!)

It was the second week of the school holidays. Imogen went away with her BF, Mollie and was missed by everyone. AJ had a sleepover at Luke’s house. That’s not why there are no pictures of him. He just won’t agree to being in the photos, you know? It’s a pre teen, boy thing, I think.  

We had some special friends come and stay with us.

Here are some of the things we did and saw…

Playing with green glitter playdough is serious business…

well, it is until you learn how to roll it into a ball and then it’s hilarious!

We went to the Reptile Park and saw all sorts of creatures.

Oh look! The very rare and beautiful  pink – faced Lily.

A very old friend.

It was all too much for this koala.

The Tasmanian Devil was not amused.

Awwww, the wombat. Always my favourite. A bit like me. Short, chunky and furry.

Ok, so I’m not that furry.

It was a full moon on Thursday evening and we all went for a  late walk.

These horses came right up to us.

Ivy decided that this horse’s name was Moonlight.

Friday was windy and Ivy offered to pose for me.

Winter sisterhood.

This is my absolute fave for the week. Noah will hardly stay still anymore for photos so to catch this rare snuggling moment was a wonderful surprise (and yes, he is wearing lipstick).
