Birthday Cakes

I am lucky that Justin's Mother (Nannie Chel) is clever at making cakes so the girl's just put their order in and they turn up looking like they are straight out of the book. This was Octavia's cake for her birthday yesterday. She was very excited about turning FIVE hence the cake.

I just had to show you last years cake (Octavia's 4th Birthday) I'm sure it took Nannie Chel two days to make. "amazing"

New Boots and Parties

All the kiddies were lucky enough to get new boots the other day. Here is Octavia and her cousin Jake modeling their new boots on Henny's coffee table "Like you do when you get new boots".

When you hear someone say big TV's are a waste of money "not true". Food and TV keep the kiddies quiet at Henny and Poppy's.

Piper joined in some boot modeling with Octavia.

Our little friend Sofia turns 2 this week and we celebrated with her many cousins and friends.

We are the best kiddie wrangler's around we had the children (eleven of them 5 and under) very orderly for dinner.

Cupcakes and Pedicures

Tavie and Daddy made some yummy pink cupcakes!!






Tonight at Tav's preschool the children had a night where they treated their Mum's to massages, manicure and pedicures. Just wasn't sure about the purple nail polished she insisted on putting on my nails. Very professional they were.

Been busy!

The twins ready for bed. They are going to hate me when they are older!

This was soo... yummy I had to share it!

This is what the girls get to do if Justin is late home from work. I don't think they mind that they have to come to work with me.

Piper demonstrates her child care skills. She will graduate soon with a Diploma as her class attendance has been often since she was 6 weeks old.

Justin took the girls to the park to practice their boat driving skills over the winter period.

Visiting Friends

Cazie, Octavia and Piper. Apparently head lollies are all the go in Sydney!




Justin, Piper, Packi & Octavia having breakie at Manly Beach. Hoodies are also the go.




Justin, Tav and Pipie catching up with Piper's god parents Packi and Kay.




Our friend Paige opening her birthday present.





We also caught up with Octavia's god father Stewart. His little girl is three months older than Piper and she didn't know what the rides were for in shopping malls. The Bentley girls are full of knowledge to share with other children. I'm sure Grace will often show Stewart and Helen the rides on shopping trips from now on.

Cute Stuff

Octavia's dancing bootie. These are what she has collected for doing Jazz, Tap and Ballet over the year. They are participation awards, she is very proud of them.



Piper in her TUMMY TUB!



Piper off for a drive.



Piper being FUNNY, asking if she is in a Where's Wally book.



My new clock. I was given a gift voucher at my favourite homewares store from the preschool that I have worked at for the last 5 years as a farewell pressie.

Octavia's Day

Octavia's day started with a bubbacino.

Then off for a pony ride.

A little bit of a makeover.

Afternoon tea with her cousin Jake. Chocolate fountain with marshmellows and strawberries.
