The weight was too much!

Dad is straining under the pressure!

The kids are going through a stage where they like to strip off to nothing!!! We figured that using a box to cover their 'modesty' was a good way around it!

Fin has some big shoes to fill!!!

What lovely gifts from my gorgeous friend - Janine Parry.

The kids love their dressing gowns - thank you so much J xxx

Forgot to add this one the other day.

The children did start off in swimming togs but soon peeled those off and decided to go au naturele!

All gone!! Now for the clear up and then the diggers can come in. More pics when that happens.

Saturday 18th started with the sound of the chainsaw! In order to level the ground at the back of our section, we needed to cut down all of our lovely fruit trees (around eight of them which brought us plums, peaches, feijoas, Quinces and lemons).

Ray (Craig's dad) started the demolition and didn't stop until all the trees were gone. I put them on the blog because as the boys were working, the kids and I were playing! It was a stinking hot day and we are all sunburnt now (silly!). I blew up a fantastic paddling pool and the kids went nuts!!!

Big Hug!

I'm not sure if Fin is protesting at yet another photo or if he's showing me the contents of his mouth!
