Olivia's owies
On Saturday the nurse in me was called on duty when Olivia went for a rather nasty fall off a brick wall we have out the back. I was standing right next to her, talking to the neighbour when next minute she fell off, head first onto the concrete slabs - ouch! Thankfully she didn't have concussion or any other bad effects, except maybe a flatter nose (if that's possible ;-) and she was soon all happy chappy again.

Mother's Day
On Saturday afternoon I played soccer for Annette (she has been down with glandular fever...wonder who she got that from ;0), anyway, when I came home this beautiful surprise was waiting for me!
Thanks Olivia! You're the best kid a mother could ask for!

At the Park...
Here's some photos I took of Olivia playing at the park down the road the other day.
It's Monday
It's raining - YAY!!!
Olivia is sleeping - YAY to that too
I chopped all my hair off on Saturday...eeek!
Daylight saving is finished! It was dark at 7pm last night; weird!
It's wintry...I love it, I might head for my bed too. Olivia was awake at 5 this morning, snoozed for a bit till 6, didn't take her Dad's advice on going back to sleep, so got to go in bed with Mum till it was a sane time to get up (only b/c her Mum was sick of listening to her whinge and whine). So I'm feeling a bit sleepy...
Anyway, here's some pics from Saturday night. The van der Veen tribe had a BBQ at Paul and Heidi's place for Renee's b'day. (They might be put on one per day b/c the connection is soooo slow.)
