Bekah looked really funny yesterday after lunch ... the mess was literally getting layered on to her face!

Playing with Cousin Kezia ...

Today I have been at the Federation of Children's Book Groups Conference (yes, I know it's a mouthful!) and since Dan was doing sound/projections at church we asked Auntie Sarah and Uncle Tris if they would look after the munckins for us. By all accounts, they had a brilliant time! Here are just a couple of the pics they took - check out the Browning Blog for more - http://newbrowningadventures.blogspot.com/

I can only imagine .... apparently there were LOTS of giggles!



Thank you, Auntie Sarah, Uncle Tris and Kezia for having so much fun with our two little munckins!

Spring Sunshine ...

This week we have seen some sun (yey!) and so we've spent quite a lot of time in the garden. It was also an ideal opportunity for the munchkins to wear their new cool shades (thanks to Auntie Lisa for bringing them back from her last trip to New York!) and for Bekah to try out her new sun hat!

Scooter Showdown ... the race was on - even if it was only a few feet!



[Posted out of sequence because I forgot to put them on earlier!]

Now the sunshine is here we can get the water table out again!


And of course ... what's good enough for Big Bro ...

I LOVE how industrious toddlers are when it comes to "painting" with water ... They looked so cute. ;0)


Painting with water requires a huge amount of concentration ... apparently ...


James continues to be interested in taking photos ...


Are we his muses ... or is he just glad to be on the other side of the camera for a change?! I'll let you decide ...

Somebody was VERY chuffed to be wearing one of her big brother's car t-shirts ...

Little Miss Green Fingers? Or Little Miss Muddy Fingers? I'm not sure but I am SURE that this kept Bekah amused for ages!




Shaving Foam Fun ...





I've been meaning to do this with the kids for ages. The other day Bekah decided to "colour in" her arm with bright pink pen .... and as I was trying to scrub her clean I was reminded of it! This was the perfect way to have fun and get her clean at the same time!

"Hello, dude."


We were egg-stremely busy at Easter ...


Both James and Bekah enjoyed decorating these eggs and we did it multiple times!

Big Family Easter Get-Together


On Good Friday we had a family get-together at Grandma and Grandad's house. Mummy's cousin, Sam and her husband and two boys came too. We had a really brilliant day. It was brilliant to catch up and to see the kids all playing together. This is James with George and Harry. Thanks Grandma for such a great meal (for 15!) and thanks Grandad for moving all the furniture around!

Chocoholic and Car-o-holic Kindred Spirits - George and James!


The 2010 Sunflower Growing Competition begins!




[Some of these, and the following photos are shamelessly stolen from the Brownings Blog! Thank you!]

George planted some seeds with Grandad too



Cute conversation I overheard ....


James: George, do you want to see my tomato plants?
George: Why are they so little? (clearly unimpressed!)
... ;0) Didn't hear James' reply!

Harry and James

Kezia and her brolly!


Playing football with Grandad ...


These photos make it look like James is quite an expert ... actually I think he was just running in circles and happened to be near the ball when I snapped the shot ...

George loved playing in the house with the girls!




Do these two look like trouble, or what?? ;0)

Cute cousins ...

Thank you, Auntie Lin for these Easter decorations! As you can see, James and Rebekah really enjoyed decorating their eggs ...



Kissing the chick!
