Back Holidays.

Just back from a week away in Terrigal which is in the Central cost. A place full of beautiful beaches and cafes and about 1.5hrs from my house. Perfect. We rent a house for the week. We beached and swam we went fishing at the entrance,

My son caught a fish. It was his first time fishing. very memorable. It is  a bream, a little to small so back it went. but the next day we ate a beautiful flounder.

We also went to the Australian Reptile park at Somersby. Excellent for kids. Most displays are at their height and the shows are all designed to educate them in a fun day. All my kids from 3 to 19 enjoyed the day.  www.reptilepark.com.au

The funnel web milking was quite scary but interesting. Definitely worth the money. It is not and all day park about 4 hours should see you easily seeing all the displays. Check the website before you go so you can include the shows and photo opportunities in the time you are there.


The trip up there is always interesting so the portable DVD player is a must but i also got onto a little websitehttp://www.momsminivan.com/printables.html that  has car games for kids except it was american. so i am planning on creating similar games but with Australian icons.(stay tuned for the upload)
The site also had the printable game of squares where there are lots of dots and you have to compete against someone else line by line till you make a square. I haven't played this since high school when there was no casual teacher but it was a lot of fun. I could also see it as a great game for my son to improve his strategic thinking skills as he has to think ahead to see if i would get the square or not.
The boutique gifts shops that are everywhere in Terrigal gave me some fun ideas for crafting over the holidays.

The Birthday Party.

Can't beleive it has been three years since i gave birth to my baby. He had a great time. loved the dora cake and the presents.
My mum bought him an Anthony wiggles costume with mask. My daughter dressed up in it and pretended to be Anthony knocking at the front door and visiting him. i don't think he has laughed so hard.

Bismillah.
I open my first blog I prayer that my God will be pleased with me.
I am an early riser and love blog hopping so i decided to start one for myself. .Hopefully it works well and i meet lots of lovely people who share the same passion for their family as i do.
Today is my son's third birthday. I have already been up and decorated our dining room with ballons and the happy birthday sign which is tradition.All of my children wake up to the party room. My son loves Dora.
Yesterday we downloaded some dora colouring in pictures and we coloured them in and blue tacked to the wall. So all the characters will be there.
Yesterday we baked chocolate cakes and i have the butter softening for the icing as a type. 
I love birthdays and making each one special.
Insallah it is a fun day.
