Back on track with the start of winter...June.

Yes thats right, 1st of June is Australian winter. Sometimes its hard to tell the difference between Autumn, Winter and Spring here in Brisbane coming from Canada but it does get a bit colder in the winter months.

And what a sensational way to start winter but with a completely unexpected bunch of flowers from my ever surprising husband.  Big big browny points for him, yup thats right, he got them for me "just because".  Gotta love 'em.

 

This may look like taking the boys to a cafe but what it actually is, is some strategic planning to get some new school shoes with as little drama much fun as possible. I tackled this task head on doing the divide and conquer technique. The first weekend I took Lochy out to a cafe in the shopping centre then dropped in to the shoe shop for some new school shoes. This was an additional bonus as he used this outing in his school project of his personal recount he had to do for class.

Then Gavin jealous Lochy got to go out for a HUGE hot chocolate of course had to do the same and also got some new shoes for school. Big smiles all round. :-)



We also got to be a part of a 1st birthday celebration.  Who needs a pinyata when you can just take turns throwing the lollies into the air!  So much more fun! 

 

I also got in another walk and snapped a photo of this lovely big red hibiscus and this beautiful church.  We've got this flowering plant in our backyard too.

 

A friend of ours got married here a few years ago. It is a beautiful spot isnt it.

This weekend unfortunately didnt have such beautiful sunny weather.  Before the rain settled in Lochy went to a Super Hero party.  Another fan of Fin from Adventure Time complements of an older brother.

 

 

 

The back deck is under cover so the boys got up to games of house...

 

 

I also got some gluten free baking in with some help from the boys.  Lochy enjoyed making his mummy and baby bunny cut out gf sugar bickies while Gavin stuck to dinasours.

 

Gavin also had a dress up for scouts and chose a minecraft costume of Slime.  Pretty good if I do say so myself.

 

 

Well that was us this weekend.  Unfortunately Lochy has been brought down by a sore throat so he will be home tomorrow poor kid.  Lets hope he gets over it quickly, he's got a sports day this week, Gavin's school disco (siblings are invited) and big brothers birthday party coming up too!
