Princess Hannah's Ball

Once upon a time, Princess Hannah was hosting a Ball. Introducing Princess Hannah....

Each guest who arrives has a dance with Princess Hannah (she is a demanding Princess, afterall). First to arrive is Prince Fireman Sam...

Prince Fireman Sam took Princess Hannah for a lovely dance....

Next to arrive was Prince Spiderman, a quite unexpected guest.


Prince Spiderman was very excited as he climbed in through the window, making very hard for the Court Photographer...

But finally, Princess Hannah had her dance, and Prince Spiderman graciously said good night before turning back into a three year old monster on a sugar rush.

And they all lived happily ever after.

More rain

Too cheap to invest in three umbrellas?

Puddles

More thunderstorms in Sydney, which keeps everyone in the house for the morning. As soon as the clouds break, the sun shines, and everyone is out in the wellies (or gumboots) to jump in the puddles.

I'm ready for my close-up

No, Hannah has not come down with some strange tropical skin disease. This is the result of a christmas gift of various coloured lip gloss, inadvertantly discribed as "make-up". Hannah must have kept this at the back of her mind until we have a visit from friends - where she and her friend proceed to lock themselves in the bathroom for half and hour. This is the result.

Blaxland Riverside Park, Homebush

Kate is suffering the effects of seeing James Reyne at Taronga Zoo last night, so she is back to bed and we head off to Blaxland Park at the Olympic Village Site, Homebush. A beautiful, sunny Sydney day so lots of sunscreen. Just as well, as there is pretty much no shade anywhere. As the park is new, very little natural shade has grown up and the shade structures are limited, and all nabbed by the locals!

Finally, after 3 years, the boys prefer to push themselves on the swings rather than having to do three at the same time. Where's my coffee?

A recent visit to Northern Hunter Valley for the weekend. More detail later but here are herds of Kangaroo sweeping majestically across the plains....
