These school holidays started off with a bang for us as we went straight from the madness of 3 late nights of school production to a 5 night cuzzie sleepover at the Hekes. Mell & Jo celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago so Mell decided to surprise Jo by booking a trip to Melbourne!!
So after I finished work at 1:30pm on Friday afternoon it was straight home to pack & then over to Summerland to pick up the 3 big kids and then on to fetch Dallsy.
They all wanted to head over to the park straight after that so since it was holidays & we had absolutely NOTHING on the agenda, their wish was my command!! They started off at the playground & then gravitated towards the skatepark where they pretended to scooter around & do tricks on their imaginary scooters lol

Our first "family" pics :) Just a little bit excited to be together!!!
When we were leaving Dalls did a no 2 in the toilets & there was no toilet paper to wipe afterwards!! And then we hopped in the car & Ella's nose started bleeding! So it was a quick drive home to get some paper to sort out both problems!!
On Saturday Grandie came over to "help" out so we went down to Birdwood park & the kids played around & we had a basketball shooting comp (where everyone was pretty equally shocking!)
After about an hour Grandie suggested that it was probably time to go home for some ice cream and fruit salad for afternoon tea :) We probably could've gotten at least another couple of hours out of the park but the kids were happy with the sound of icecream so off we went...
This little Missy came to me & said that she had weed in her shorts but luckily we still had her bag from daycare in the car so I got her changed into these overalls & then she went around telling everyone she was "Dennis ma nenace"
I brought over some church clothes that Spence had grown out of for Seffy. Check out this handsome dude :)
3 handsome boys! Unfortunately Mac had already taken his shoes off by then, but he had worn these church clothes
to church with Faiths bright purple & too big for him, Nikes lol....
he couldn't find his shoes in the morning & we were running late so I was just like whatever! Put them on & get in the car!!
We found his shoes out by the tramp later on after church - totally soaking from all the rain :(
Trying to get a nice pic of them all in their church clothes
Dalls was in the door & straight to the room to get her comfys on...her mum's trained her well lol
This little chatterbox told me the whole story of Goldilocks & the 3 bears while I made her porridge for lunch
Our Sunday afternoon quiet time craft
Pod with all her creations
All pink errthang for Dalls
This was what the table looked like every night with all the plates layed out for 6 mouths to feed....
Mell chose really good quick & easy dinners to feed the masses too! My boys thought they were super yummy having cheese & everthing on them so they had second helpings of all of them. Ella is definitely her mother's daughter and was the pickiest mouth to feed!
10 pen bowling at Xtreme
Spence couldn't get enough of snuggles with Pod & wherever she would sit on the couch, he'd be right there next to her
Off to see the Emoji movie. Best cartoon I've seen in ages. All of us chose bulk bins lollies except for Ella who chose tic tacs! I felt sorry for her so gave her some of mine, but Mell said she really loves them & has done it before haha
Walking through the mall...so cute!
When I dropped Dalls off in the morning & asked what she wanted for her treat after kindy she said "something pink" so she was super chuffed with her pinky bar
Back to the colouring station. These colouring in books were worth their weight in gold.
We just left them on the table & they would wander up & have a colour between their tramp & movie rotations
Ella was dying for her chicken nuggets so we made burgers with them on the last night & she was like a pig in mud
Snapchats with Dalls every morning
Man I was so happy to be home & not living out of bag anymore, but I've really missed my other 4 little people since Wednesday! Was so cool to get to spend some cuzzie & aunty time together and make some super special memories like that!
