Welcome home

This is what greeted me returning from work today - vampires and 'fire creepers'.

Holiday burgers!

Monkey bars

Hannah has worked out how to the monkey bars, and it is now her favourite activity - to the point where she has blisters across both hands.  And still she keeps going......

Cricket

Australia take to recruiting expatriots to supplement batting line up.

Christina arrives

Today is Christina's first day at work - the new Au Pair from Germany comes to stay for the next few months.  Hannah seems to have adopted her as her own personal assistant, but the boys seem to be getting on okay.  This is Sunday, and Christina fights off the jet lag whilst Zach and Hannah try to 'do' her hair.   She had to decline when it came to doing the make-up.

b and d, t and f

Literacy day at triplets school, I sit down with Thomas to read "Sing Together". 

'Sing, sing, sing a song, sing a song together' (Good start, T).
'Eat, eat, eat our food, eat our food together' (Going well, Big Guy). 
'Jump, jump, jump to bed, jump to bed together' (okay, just the tuck in bed bit left).
'*uck, *uck, *uck us in... "STOP!!!!! THATS A 'T" NOT AN F!"

Dinner time. And while the boys wait for their pizza, Thomas calculates the square root of minus one.
