Odds and ends

Daniel at his last Saturday cricket match when he was not out at a lovely park near our house on the river Torrens in St Peter's called River Park http://www.npsp.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=768 .
Isabella and her friend Tya's sunflower plants that they have planted in the school gardens.
 
Our rapidly wilting summer lawn!
 
A rather surreal birthday party the kids were invited too (Siobahn's - a class mate of Issy's, with and Irish Dad and South African mom). The venue is a lovely old Russian orthodox church, now owned by a trampoline champion who holds 'team trampoline' kids parties there, where kids can jump themselves silly and watch him do amazing jumps for one and a half hours. Issy LOVED it (Daniel asked to be taken home and enjoyed being able to spend time at home alone, while we finished teh party).
 
 
 
The children were dissappointed that people don't really celebrate Halloween here... they had planned to trick or treat. So we dressed up and ate horrible cheap dough-nuts and less cheap virgin mojito (Issy's favourite) at home.
 
 
This coming Starurday is the Norwood Christmas pageant... photos later... we think this is a giant parade down the high street... Isabella wants to dress as a bee (the theme for their school is bugs). Daniel reserves teh right not to take part : )
