I thought I'd better get up the photos from the school holidays before the next ones roll around! Needless to say, we had a lot of fun hanging out at home, having fun with friends and giving our brains a rest from school. Here's just some of the fun...

 Lucho is becoming quite the master at guitar and keeping the girls entertained.

 Off to the Aquatic Centre for a swim, Lucho fulfilling his babysitting duties well so I didn't have to stay wet the whole time.

 Busy, but not too crazy thankfully. La and Lucho even had a few runs on the slide seen as there wasn't a big line.

 Whirlpool fun.

 Leyla loving it for the most part.

 Lunch outside in the sunshine.

 We set up camp and made ourselves at home.

 Selfie with my main man/helper.

 La was lucky enough to have a sleepover at Sienna's and they went out for churios for a treat.

 Yum!

 Tayah and La keeping the guinea pigs company.

 Picnic in the park.

 Almost too cool for photos?!?

 We can't let the holidays pass without heading down to the whitewater stadium for a milkshake.

Lots of playing, lots of friends visiting and staying, lots of little outings to keep everyone occupied and me sane. Sad to see them go back to school - means I have to get out of bed earlier now!!

There's always something happening around here...

 Play Group Party for Mak turning 4.

 Hanging out with the crew! Nice "peace" sign Lacey...

 Linda created an amazing and apt cake for Jimayne recently for her birthday...

Out for lunch to celebrate.

 Can you see them?

 We were content to stay on the path while going for a bush walk - Sienna and La were not.

 Sami getting into the colouring craze.

The guinea pigs in training for the special forces. They may as well, seen as it's just as dangerous when friends come over!

This is from the last gymnastics gala when Ma Ma and Pa were visiting. Just came across this pic of La and Tay with their ribbons. Well done girls!

We had fun during our Easter break this year - it was hard to resist all that chocolate but we did our best to ration it all out till long after the holidays.

 The lead up to Easter is always a hoot with craft and bunnies at playgroup...

 ...and for the lucky winners of our school Easter Raffle - well done La and Jack!

 Easter Sunday and the bunny had come and gone...

 ...very happy and bleary eyed girls that morning!

 Lucho came over so we could do our traditional Easter hunt in the backyard.

 The big kids organised Leyla's hunt outside...

 ...while I sorted out the hunt for them which needed to just a little bit hard so they could earn their stash. Quiz questions answered correctly gave them to a clue to the hiding spot and the next question. 

Some craft rounded off a great afternoon. Happy Easter folks!

Continuing on with Ma Ma and Pa's visit - it was great timing too as they stayed when La and Leyla had some exciting things to do and finally Ma Ma and Pa were able to come to some of their activities and I didn't have to be the substitute "Grandparent" haha

 Leyla had her Grandparent's Afternoon Tea at her preschool and Ma Ma and Pa were able to come along and do some fun activities...

 ...photo frame decorating...

 ...and building cages for preschoolers!

 A sweet little present for Ma Ma and Pa.

 We made sure we visited parks and went bike riding.

 Ma Ma and Pa were able to see La get presented with all her swimming ribbons from the carnival at assembly.

 They also came along to her cross country carnival...

 ...to see her win her race! Well done La - District carnival here we come!

 No photos but La also had a gymnastic carnival that Ma Ma and Pa came to with her ribbon haul from that above.

 And lastly, before they went home, we took them to see a rugby league match.

A close game with Penrith winning by a point against the Broncos. Thanks for making the trip - we love you and can't wait till we see you again soon xx
