Thelma & Louise (minus the cliff bit)

Little Possum and I took a roadtrip to Canberra for a few days last week as a little adventure while the boys and MOTH had "guy time" (lots of movies and pizza)

We had a lovely time staying at Last Stop Ambledown in one of the 3 converted train carriages. The owners Jenny and David made the best cooked breakfasts, and made sure we were looked after in every way.

 Nearby Cockington Green Garden miniature village.

 Our converted train carriage accommodation was fantastic!!

The neighbours were nice

This trip had a science and discovery feel to it...

First the CSIRO Discovery Centre

And then Questacon....

cleaning up for Christmas

With the last couple of days being very windy our gumtrees were dropping bark, leaves and twigs until there seemed to be more on the ground than on the trees.

So, a little cleaning up for Christmas was necessary!

Here's Little Possum hard at work with the broom

while Turtle used the leafblower

 But all work and no play makes for very dull boys, so.....

let's see what else this leafblower can do!

 blowdrying your hair

 stimulating the circulation to the skin....

 and demonstrating laws of physics ...



'nuff said

in honour of a Little Possum

 Great to be 8!  Baptism Day - LP was very shiny all day :)

 Not bad considering that only one day earlier she'd been in hospital for dental surgery

quick recovery!

 Very self assured, LP made this picture and signed it in her best curly wurly handwriting because "you know Mum, this might be a famous painting one day!"

I hung it on the wall - it's the only thing to do when you have a future famous painting!

 oh la la!  It's French Day at school, so we had to dress up as chic as possible.

Makeshift beret made from an OR paperhat :)

Tea party time.

Little Possum, you are my treasure, I love you and
 I am honoured to have been your Mum for these past 8 years!
