Easter in Yarrawonga

Every Easter, the Mullan family pack up our campervan and head off to Yarrawonga for a camping trip with the best bunch of people going around! It all started when Craig started going up with Simon's family and friends who started the tradition when Sime was just a little tacker. Now our family joins the Newnhams and friends to make it our tradition as well. It is basically 'kid heaven' as the kids all play together all day, every day and the weather is always perfect! This year we ventured off to the local mini golf and fun park where Jack & Lucy had a go at mini golf and Lucy tried her hand at the dodgem cars with her Dad.

It also involves a bit of creative thinking on the bathing front so here's Jack squashed into an esky for a bath!! As did Lucy, in front of the fire .... life is good! And some how, the Easter bunny is always clever enough to find us when we're camping! Here's the gang of kids that get to hang out and play together every day as well take part in the Easter Egg hunt ...Lucy with her find...And a very proud Jack with his! Yet another successful and enjoyable Easter holiday!

Jazmyn turns 18!!

The end of March also saw Jazmyn turn 18, which also makes me feel terribly old!! (especially being at the party, no carving up the dance floor with the best of them anymore!)

Also a good chance to get some photo's of the family - here I am with Robyn, Dad, and Judy.

And 2 cousins who just love each other!! They're the same age apart as Jaz and I are.
We love you Jazzie!!

The amazing hail storm!

I'm very behind in my posts (obviously!) but back in March, we had a horrendous hail storm that was the most amazing storm I've seen ... maybe ever?! These hail stones I collected from out the front door about 3 hours after the storm, and still, look at the size of them?! My poor Outback car got written off from all the damage it suffered and our campervan roof now looks like the surface of a golfball!

Fun at kinder

Jack and Lucy are having a wonderful time at their kinder, Len Jeffrey Memorial Preschool here in Belgrave South and have both absolutely loved their time there with no problems at all being away from Mum! Here are some recent photo's from the Easter morning tea which the Mum's were invited to attend, which brought about some good photo opportunities! Here's Jack with his partner in crime and best friend, James. Such a lovely, lovely kid this one and he just adores Jack!
Fun in the playground

Here's Jack with his aide Susan and friends, Ryan and James. They all seem to have a great time together. There's no doubt we've found ourselves at a pretty special kinder with some incredible teachers - these guys are amazing with our boy!!

There's no doubt there's a mutual adoration of each other, Jack is now blowing kisses and of course has to blow Belinda, Coral and Susan kisses when he arrives and goes home and has now adopted the new nick name of Mr Kissy Lips! There's been several times when he's asked me with his book if he's going to kinder which is very very exciting. For such a daunting idea, kinder has been just sensational!

Nothing to put a smile on your face like....

... a new dress and a bit of face paint!!

A bit scary how quick this little girl is growing up actually...
