August happenings.....

This is something I've wanted to do for a VERY long time.
Change the colour of water lillies...
These flowers are EVERYWHERE at the moment. We were visiting some family
and they had quite a few in their yard so I asked if I could take some home.
 

Each child was allowed to choose a colour.
Pink, Green, Blue, Red and natural white.
 

 

The pink flower for some reason didn't work much at all....
The little flowers looked gorgeous though...
 

 

Rosalee received a "paint your own" mug for her birthday from a friend.
She sat down one morning and created a masterpiece...
 

Travis has gotten another year older. Time certainly is flying past.
He is an energetic, enthusiastic fella. He has lots of potential and we pray that God
will continue to guide and bless his development throughout the year ahead.
He is a real lively blessing in our family and we all love him lots.
When we put this cake in front of Travis he asked us seriously, "How come you put
8 candles on the cake." We all had a really good laugh. He had forgotten he turned 8.
 

The next day he had a party with a few friends. Here is his birthday cake...
 

 

Chloe is thoroughly enjoying every horse riding lesson.
I took some photos of her with the horses for a school project she was working on.
 

 

Rose looks forward to "Oma Day" which is every Monday. In her words....
"Mum I have to do all the hard, heavy work and Oma does all the easy stuff.."
I told her that Oma is lucky that she has such a capable girl that can help her.
They absolutely love the time they get to spend together. Its precious for both of them..
and its not ALL hard work like little miss thinks it is :)
 

Travis was home with a head cold so he asked if we could have pancakes for lunch.
He then asked if we could make green ones... (yes.. he is our 'dare to be different'' kid)
Rose then asked for pink ones....
 

Yummy......
 

Delicious....
 

Chloe had to dress up as a character from a book for school.
We decided to do a little miss character.. This blog here is where
I got the idea of how to make this from. It was VERY easy. Just two pillows sewn
separately with little straps so Chloe could tie onto her body. Brilliant idea!!!

Here is the front of Little Miss Chatterbox...
 

The back view...
 

7am in the morning.. all ready to head off to choir before school :)
 

We also celebrated Father's Day at the very beginning of September.
Its a great day to acknowledge all the things that the children
appreciate about their DAD... They all adore him to bits.
 

I LOVE this photo... I am very blessed....

Love Monty xxoo
