Family Outing

Today we went on a family outing.  Some of the places that we went through were affected severely by the flooding in QLD (Toowoomba Region.)  Here are some photos from our fun.

 Mr Adorable
 Princess
 A photo Dad got of the oldest 5 in a small sandstone cave. 
And when Dad turned around, this is the photo he got of Mum and the Adorables down below.
 A photo I got of the two big boys, on a massive rock that had washed down stream.  Being boys they climbed on it.  How surprising??
 The Steel Rudd hut.

Now to the nature side of things-
 A small indent in a rock wall - don't you love the colours?
 This slime was amazing!
And widespread.

And a family picture of us all, minus Dad, he took the photo.

Princess Hairdos

This is a hair style that I did on princess.  I got the idea of photographing the step by step instructions from Pretty Hair Is Fun To Do.  The lighting of the photos isn't that great I'm afraid.
French Braid Ponytail

Brush hair, moisten front lightly with water.
Part front section of hair from one ear to the other.  Tie the lower section back as then next few steps are using the front section.
Separate the small lower section and start french braiding across the front of the head.
Continue braiding across the top of the head around to the other ear.
Finish of the braid and tie the end with an elastic band.
 
Let out the lower, tied back section of the hair and rebrush to add a shiny look.  Retie the ponytail in the middle of the lower section (as shown below.)
Wrap the braid securely around the ponytail.
Pin in place with a couple of bobby pins, until the braid is firmly positioned.
The finished product.  Oh, and yes Princess is reading another book.
A close up on the pony tail.
And a pretty picture of Princess with her hairdo.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's day.  These are some cupcakes that I made a little while ago, but I though I should share the photos on Valentine's Day:)

A friend emailed me this valentine.

My Blog Button Dilemma

I got a blog button a couple of weeks ago.  However, though the picture would show, it wouldn't link to my blog.  I have resolved the problem, but to all my kind followers who have grabbed my button, could you please delete my blog button and then grab my new button please.  Sorry about this dilemma.
