My little Willow after she asked me to pick one of the giant roses in the backyard. Afterwards she stuffed the rose into the ground and pured water on top. I hope she’s not disappointed today when the rose is no longer a rose.

We had a beautiful spring weekend. The girls spent a lot of time outside playing in the warm sunshine. Teddy went outside with them and took a tumble on the trampoline!

Hello, Mr Mum here. The gals got up first thing this Saturday morning and wanted to go to the aquarium. So I made them breakfast got the little wyld one dressed and then waited and waited some more for the older, much more vain one to finish getting ready. We went by train into the city to the aquarium. They had a blast cause we took the train ride then had a short tram ride.

They whizzed through the aquarium to get to the other side (did I mention there was a gift store on the other side at the exit?). We then strolled along the banks of the Yarra River as it meanders down the heart of Melbourne.

We didn’t get home until dinnertime and both were knackered. I even got the wyld one in bed early. w00t!

I took several photos during the day. Most while we were playing around the river.

Hope you have a great weekend!
