September to November

It has been a busy couple of months, Wes has been flying in and out of various mine sites, usually gone for a week at a time, or the odd day here and there. It has been ok, have just got to be really organised with the kids and the dinner, bath, bed routine. The weather has been lovely so we have been able to get to the beach a few times and to the local pools. The boys both love the water and similarly the sand. Harry makes a bee-line for it!

We had a day trip out on a friends boat, they live on the river just outside Mandurah, about 40 minutes south of us. George loved the boat and immediately took to 'Pop', who was our captain for the day, he even got a chance to drive, loved it.

The boys and their friends went trick or treating for Halloween, all looking very cute dressed up in their outfits. We had a party at our friends house, so harassed her neighbours instead!

George had his first sleep over with Buster and James. They were actually very well behaved and although they were having teddy fights and hiding under George's bed, they were all asleep by 8.30pm. Unfortunately, they were up by 5am! Although, that seems the norm in our house of late, light mornings wake the boys and we are usually ready to leave the house hours before we normally would! It makes for a very long day. We still try to meet friends at the park or beach in the mornings, trying to keep them entertained and of course, burn off some of that energy!

In the run up to Christmas, we went to see Santa last weekend, George had a whole list for him :-) The tree is up and we are counting down the days (and eating the chocolates) until the big day. George has just two weeks left at school, (4 days), he will start full time in February, which is he really excited about and is so ready for. He has a Kindy Christmas Concert, which we cannot wait for and will be sure to film, plus the usual catch ups with friends. Not sure where the year has gone, Harry will be one in a couple of weeks. He is a very cheeky little man and into everything, crawling, climbing and walking around the furniture or pulling at your legs to get up. Am sure it will not be long before he is walking and then they will be no stopping him.

Sorry I have not had chance to put captions to the photos, but as you can see there are quite a few!! Happy viewing!!
