Wintersun @ Coffs Harbour 2012

Our first proper family holiday away as a family of 4, it was lovely, also challenging having kids in the car so the drive up and back took longer than planned, but hey, that's what it's all about, the adventures that go with the flow and keeping parents and kids sane, heheee........... so we stayed in a cute lil self contained cottage, just as we got there our car battery died so thanks for NRMA, so lucky we made it to our place of rest. Wintersun fest was cool, rad old cars, rockabilly rock n roll music and dancing, the big banana, getting to swim with a dolphin, tick off the bucket list, yeaaahhh! fish n chips, hanging out and chillaxing with the kiddies!!

LETTING BOYS BE BOYS!!

I love seeing my children play with dirt, Sylus thinks it's brown sand so like to throw it but to see his face smile when i let him get dirty and feel the texture of it in his hands, i am also lucky Scarlette is super happy outdoors girl too and nothing beats a fun clean bubble bath after the day has ended, no one hurt, so much happiness gained!! I say go for it kiddies!!!

Lantern time!

Scarlette has been really enjoying the indoor winter crafts and at the same time at home we made paper lanterns using colourful patterned japanese paper at school they made lanterns to hold for the spiral walk every year at winter time, unfortunately we missed it due to the snotty colds we had but so magickal to see them lit up shinning!!!

Winter warmth

Scarlette made a really sweet wombat out of clay and a yummi carrot for him, a little purple felt gnome and a painting of the gnome, and a really beautiful tea light candle holder with crystals pushed into the clay on the outside of it! it's such a delight to see her so excited running out of class to show off what she has made that day!

My cheeky little ranga boy!

Our magickal local steiner school markets!

I am so lucky and thankful to have such a colourful and magickal local market at the steiner school, our spunky belly dancers performing again and such a treat to see my bestie dance away, i am so proud to watch her dance, i love you Katie Storm! MWAH! X.x ................and the yummi Tantric Turtle selling the best.......... the very best chai and chocolate brownies!! nomnomnomnom!! What a wonderful day! The sun was out shining bright! X.x

Winter candles

Scarlette made this beautiful beeswax candle at pre school for winter,  the other children in the bigger classes were getting ready for their special spiral walk with lanterns, this time of year is fun to rug up in scarfs, beanies, big jumpers and eat soup! Enjoying the positive side to colder darker days! X.x

My favourite kind of artwork!!

I've always thought............ when i have kids, i'd frame their artwork!! Well i did!!! Their wonderful family day care mum made these with them and added rainbow glitter and they were sooooooooooo beautiful, i had to frame them and show them off for all to see, they proudly hang in our dining room where we sit and look at all the time!! Best artwork, i love it!! X.x

Winter crafts.

Winter time at school.
Scarlette made this cute little leaf necklace from wool and felt and yesterday they put beads in their hair like a sweet friend in their class who is from Ethiopia so they learnt a bit about where she is from.
