~ this week (welll some of it) in pictures ~



















 


 



1.  The anniversary poppies in the afternoon light on the (amazingly clear) table

 2,3,4.  School swimming carnival this week - the green team (ours) didn't come last for the first time in our memories - very happy girls.  I didn't see that much of the actual racing (but a huge thanks to my lovely friend for the photos)   - I was at the results table noting arm numbers and times - totally exhausted by the end of the day.

 5.  I finally found a home for the postcrossing postcards - and they're filed in order of country - amazing how just a little bit of organising can feel like such a big achievement (or is that just me?).   I love all the stamps - Australian ones are a bit boring at the moment.  Did you know its now $2.60 to post a postcard overseas... I may well be cutting back on the postcard hobby.

 6.  At the park today - pirate swinging like crazy girls (but taking care of their little brother too).

7.  He visited the farm school this week - his favourite thing was patting the enormous white rabbit   (but he made me a plasticine sheep...so cute).

8.  There are crab-apple trees bursting in to blossom all around town - so pretty.

I've just about finished my week of solo-parenting - it's been exhausting (and part of the reason I haven't been taking so many shots).    Thankfully the Doc is home from Darwin tonight.  

Jack turns 5 this week and is having a party at the gymnastics centre with his whole kinder class - I can feel another busy week coming on!

How's your week looking?

    gorgeous flower photos, as always, & I love the plasticine sheep- very sweet. I'm just heading into a solo parent week, so I should probably get to bed!

    Whoa, it's $2.60? Over here in the US, it's $1.10 to send internationally, and I think that's expensive. :/

    Lovely shots - I've done the recording stint at swimming carnivals for a few years now. It definitely makes the day go fast! :)
