From Thursday night to Tuesday evening, Mum and Dad were in Kingscliff, leaving us kids to fend for ourselves :) They went up to help Nana sort through Grandad's tools etc. They didn't take the camera, so I have photos of the activities that the kids did while they were away.
There were chocolate baskets with bark, noughts and crosses, piggy-bookmarks, dressing races, play-dough, gingerbread men, fruit smoothies, Risk, water fights, fun, activity bags (Mum bought fun things such as wooden circus toys, pipe-cleaners, books, notepads, textas, etc, and put them in a brown paper bag for Jord, Rob, Dan, and Lily), lessons, and occasionally movies... just to name a few :P We didn't get photos of everything, because we videoed some of the activities rather than taking photos.

I love this photo! The light spilling in; excited faces; you can imagine what they were talking about: whose biscuits were whose; "mine looks better" etc.

Robert got very involved with Risk... which is usually not a good thing :0

Icing gingerbread biscuits.

I love the way Lily holds her biscuit as she ices it :) She's such a little lady!
Saturday we had hash-browns for breakfast; Michael enjoyed them very much!

Dressing races... Jamie was very serious about the whole process and Rob went rather crazy :P

Fruit smoothie (s).

Michael reading with Lily.
Mum and Dad bought all of us a pair of pyjamas; Michael's, as you can see in this picture, says: " Daddy's little apprentice"... it's very cute :)
