Entertaining the little people

A busy week at work ended with an action packed weekend with two of the cutest little people I know. We were on babysitting duties for two nights. We could have maybe skipped the movie and shopping trip in hindsight - while I watched my nephew close his tired eyes over lunch today. We also filled our fun weekend with:


My husband kicking off Saturday with a lesson in knot tying. This activity unfortunately entertained the little people for a total of....two minutes.


Yum Cha was definitely a bigger hit.


As was a couple of hours on Manly Beach.


We dropped in on a ‘colouring-in station’ at recently re-vamped Manly Market Place (watch this space), and spotted this lovely bunting in between stalls.


On Sunday morning we visited my aunt and uncle for (amazing) scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. The eggs were courtesy of this fluffy chicken and co. that reside in my aunt’s backyard.


Sunday afternoon found us in another backyard for a birthday party at this lovely house...with bunting of a different kind made from vintage scarves, and a super-cute card I spotted on the present pile. I hope you all had a lovely weekend too...I just need to sleep mine off.

    Thanks Mandy - I'd love to take more credit for that, but I only helped out for a short time on that job - my very good friend, Rob Wood was the Decorator, and I agree - he did a wonderful job!
