Bethany is now 11 months already! She has stood alone for several seconds on a few occasions recently, so we'll see how fast she wants to walk.
She loves to stand at this little window spot and peer out at what's happening outside or call "daaad"

A rubber band maze designed by Caleb. A great activity to go on with while I am busy with one of the other 3 during school time.
Sarah got to do some threading today - made this little hair band and matching bracelet with buttons & elastic.
A close up of the cup of tea on Sarah's 4th birthday party invitation. Doing it simple- having 3 other little girls and their mums join us for a cup of tea at a nursery cafe.
One section of our new fence. This was taken before we moved some palms, so there is now a bit more privacy screening from them. We also transplanted a number of hibiscus plants. We didn't realise how many we had- all crowded around the house, but now planted along the fence line. Hopefully they will survive and we'll have recycled our trees!!
Sleeping sitting up at the end of her bed. Sarah doesn't always sleep after lunch anymore, but sometimes it all catches up and results like this (usually after a behaviour meltdown and crying session).
Wonder whether Rocky was hoping he'd get a walk if he stayed there long enough....
Our brightest Hibiscus flower from our trees- also have white, peach, yellow, pink.
The boys hard at work removing pavers so that the bobcat could relevel the ground. They were told they could earn some pocket money by helping do this. The first day, they were hard at it every moment they weren't doing school work. Barely even ate their morning tea. We went out in the afternoon, and I looked in the rearview mirror of the car to see Caleb close to nodding off. But as we drove in the driveway of our place, he asked if I could stop and let him out before opening the garage roller door so he could start work again that little bit sooner on the pavers!! Money was obviously a huge motivator. I heard the boys discussing what they were going to buy with their riches as they worked, and as the day wore on, the figure they mentioned grew....

We haven't paid them yet, but they haven't forgotten either.
