365 Days of Photos–daySEVEN

Miss M spotted these deer this morning upon leaving the house.  5 deer!  Very impressive indeed.  Our town is overrun with deer, they are a regular sight.  But usually we see groups of one or two.  Not 5 all chilling out together.  There’s even a baby in there.

It’s a little  hard to see all the deer in this picture (taken with my iPhone 3GS) so here is close up.

Always a great start to the day so see wildlife!

I live in the Great North amidst a rainforest.  Perfect for exploring rain or shine.  Hooray for exploring!

The amazing thing is that no matter how tired the girls proclaim to be, how they can’t possibly take one more step the protests disappear as soon as we hit the trail.


Best friends and sisters – the best combination!  I love how they spent the walk holding hands and chattering away to each other as if they hadn’t seen each other in years. <3 Dooters!

My newest hobby.  Working with Duct Tape!  haha.  This is pen cover – in the future I hope to make a Duct Tape Cape to go with my Halloween Costume, purses and wallets too!

Woohoo!  Three days in a row of awesomeness!

Today was a very special day – after repeating Salamander swim lessons a whopping 7 times before passing I wasn’t too sure what to expect when Miss T made the move from preschool classes into Swim Kids 1 this session.  Well I am happy to report that she passed!  The first time through, with flying colours!

Woooooooooo!

You scream, I scream, well all scream for CSN Stores!

I have a confession to make, I have spent far too much time looking at all the wonderful items available at CSN Stores over the last 2 months.  Regardless of whether you are looking for  dutch ovens, duvet sets, children’s toys or s new frying pan they have it all.

My current “obsession”?  Searching for a new duvet set!  I was searching town for the perfect set today and I kid you not, there were a grand total of 3 in the entire town!  I picked up the least offensive, and least expensive choice to make due with until my CSN Stores purchase arrives.  Thank goodness for CSN!

Its Tap Dancer in training Malie!  This was actually the first time she donned tap shoes, and she was just bubbling over with excitement =)

And this is sad Malie after she found out that tap class didn’t start until the next Saturday!
