Daddy, Paddy, Poss & Tiger - fairies at the bottom of the garden??

Dad has this new obsession. Gardening. He's been shaping, pruning, digging, bagging, fixing everything in the backyard of late. We don't have the biggest backyard but there is lots of plants of various sizes and types. Paddy, Poss & Tiger have really got in on the act, especially now that Tiger re-discovered a set of gardening tools he was given for Christmas.

Paddy really enjoyed being outside in the garden, he picked up all sorts of different leaves and lots of other little bits too as he looked for fairies!

Poss & Tiger really took the digging and sweeping part of the job seriously. Tiger was particularly interested in getting between the cracks of the brick paving and making sure that it was neat and tidy, brick by brick....
What a great job they all did, next week it's the front yard!!!

Saturday sillyness starts

Here we go! Hockey & footy rule our Saturdays for the next 18 weeks. Tiger and Poss were so excited that they were dressed and ready to go, mouth guards in by 7am. We didn't need to be at Albert Park until 9.15, but that was OK, they were EXCITED!! After driving through crazy traffic and a little jaunt around the Grand Prix track, it's OK mum drove VERY carefully around the corners, we finally got there in time to warm up, everybody was clapping when we got there, i think they thought we weren't going to get there! Tiger ran and ran and ran! Poss was great, she's really getting good at hockey and is becoming a great leader. We didn't win but it didn't matter, we were back at hockey and it feels great!

It won't be too long until Paddy is playing...



Next up we had to head over to Carnegie to watch dad play footy, It's cool watching dad play footy because, really, we actually go and play on the playgrounds next to the ovals!! When the siren blows for quarter time we run on to play kick to kick with mum. 'The beena' won this time and dad played really well, he even got his name in the paper for being in 'the bests'. SO COOL!!
At the end of the day we were exhausted but we had lots of fun and mum and dad took us to have Taco's afterwards, YAY!!!
