Last Friday we were invited to attend Alicia's Family Fun Night hosted by Darley Primary School.
We caught a maxi taxi to Uncle Al's place picking up one of the girls besties on the way. From there we walked over to the school and enjoyed a night of rides, carnival games, stalls and competitions. The boyed enjoyed the haunted house while the girls likes the fairy room the best.
We had a really good night overall and afterwards we went back to Uncle Al and Bel's place for dinner!
Here are some photos of our night out..

And thanks Alicia for the invite <3
Yesterday, my youngest child turned seven. She woke up beside me with whispers of birthday wishes. She jumped up out of bed to open her gifts.. Nevaeh spent her day at school and enjoyed icy poles with her whole grade at lunch time. She came home to flowers at the front door and couldn't wait to tell me how everyone wanted to sit next to the birthday girl today! She came home to more gifts. She loved her new perfume, her new shoes, necklace and earrings. She wore her new dress and jacket out to her dinner party last night where she ordered a Chicken Parma and a Club Soda Lemon Squash. She went all shy when the whole venue sung happy birthday to her. She felt so special and blew all of her candles out.
make a wish princess..
Nevaeh asked for my phone and went around the table taking selfies with some of her guests. It was incredibly cute and a nice reminder of how grown up she is becoming.
Birthday Selfies!
My one and only dream for my daughter is to always be herself.
Although I am updating this post now I am going to backdate this to the day in which I actually had the kids do the challenge which was on the 21st of April.
One night, while treating the girls hair with headlice solution (yes, my kids get headlice just as much as the next person) we were watching a few different things on youtube and crossed a video of a little girl on youtube taking the Bean Boozle Challenge with her parents. We all found it very amuzing and my niece Janai thought it would be a good idea if we too took the challenge.
I am queen for having the kids do fun and silly things and like to find ways to bring us together as a family. So I jumped at the opportunity to have a laugh not realizing how gross these jelly beans really were.
I typed in "Bean Boozled Jellybeans Australia" and up popped an ad for David Jones. I ordered them then and there and the following week, after school one day, I had the kids take the challenge. I thought it would be cruel of me to have my youngest niece participate (She is 4yo) but you can hear her laughing in the background. Jeanette, my oldest niece is also not in it as she was tired that day and took a nap after school. So here is the video of the kids getting Bean Boozled! Enjoy!
My aim was to get my son Jie to puke but in actual fact it was my nephew Hiram and niece Janai who puked that day. After the video Janai challenged me and actually ran to the toilet after chewing on the Peach or Vomit jellybean! I got peach!
The next day Jeanette challenged me and we had a good laugh but had the rotten egg flavor in our mouth for days after.
Overall we made memories to last a lifetime with that little box of Jelly Beans.
Last week we enjoyed a wonderful day at the Melton wave pool. We met friends there and tucked into some lunch before swimming the day away. It was another fun family day out for the school holidays!
Last night we went up to the old Bacchus Hill Winery which they have turned into Taco Bill for dinner.. My friend Meaghan invited us up there and we're so glad she did because we had a great night out.. Here are some happy snaps of our night..
Nevaeh was at her Dad's.
The food was amazing, the service was great, the views were beautiful and the kids had an absolute ball as we waited for the taxi.
Overall it was a great night and we will definitely be back!
As of Monday the 7th of March our family of five became a family of seven! As you are probably aware, I haven't been posting much and now you know why! My nieces Jeanette and Janai have joined their brother and sister Hiram and Justine and are now living with us for a while too. At this stage they will be with us until August but it may be longer. Jeanette, 14, started back at school and is currently doing year eight at BMC. Janai, 10, has joined her brother Hiram and cousins Nevaeh and Jie and now catches the bus to and from BMPS. The transition has been a smooth one and the girls are happy and thriving. It was a big adjustment for them both as I am a lot more strict than what they are both used to but I am proud of how they are both embracing the changes. I hope to find more time to blog in the next few weeks as I really miss documenting our beautiful life and well, because there is always something or someone to blog about now that there are seven of us. I still haven't documented Easter.. I never not document Easter.. Oh gosh! Looking forward to sharing a lot more little bit's of love..
