Happy Monday :)

So, we're into the second week of school holidays here and today is the first time the kids have been home together. Angus spent the first week snowboarding in stellar conditions - the best season in 20 odd years (sadly I have no photos to share). Zoe stayed at home and went to the Midnight Screening of Harry Potter with friends - a fine way to celebrate turning 15. Here are the girls dressed up ready to go.

I think the funniest part of Zoe's outfit is that her braces match - she got black and yellow - Hufflepuff colours - especially for the premiere.

And this is how they looked at midday after the big event - hehe, they finally got up at about 2.45pm :)

Then when Angus returned home, taller with a croaky voice and full of stories, Zoe went to the coast with a friend's family. She came home again today, also with a croaky voice and full of stories, but not notably taller lol. It's nice to have them both back again, the house is empty without them and the dog and their Father pine for them ;-)

As it's Monday, it's time for a new wp sketch. Here's my take on sketch #4. This is Zoe running her heart out at the ACT cross country. We were so very proud when she qualified and even prouder when ran over the finish line with a smile despite developing a badly swollen knee. She has tenacity and drive in spades!

And this is the first wp sketch of the month - somehow I forgot to post it. Zoe and Angus were waiting for Rob to get home to surprise him with his Birthday cake - Angus was pretending to eat the cake and Zoe was pretending to be outraged. This photo shows their personalities to a tee. They were making me laugh so much I had trouble holding the camera still to take the photo of them :)

And now another Monday is coming to a close - have a happy Tuesday folks!
