Homeward bound.

The farm boy refused to take seriously my suggestion of being the only organic sugar growers in Australia, so the bags are packed and we are heading home.

We've had the most wonderful three weeks away. A complete break from our real lives. So much fun.

Its been really hot!

We've walked, swum in the pool and the beach, danced, played fairy snap and Uno, blown bubbles, held snakes and turtles, eaten yummy food, cut a bit of paper into a thousand pieces, skipped, celebrated, hung in cable cars and travelled on a vintage railway, drawn, read, knitted, crocheted, played with iPhone apps and performed lots of shows.

The girls have fought and made up a gazillion times, Pepper has learnt to swim without her floaties, Indi has started to love to read and Jazzy has worn every piece of clothing she brought with her every day.

We brought their scooters which has made walking in and out of town really fun too.

Its been so ace to have Bren with us all the time too. We've laughed so much.

I'm a bit nervous about heading back to real life. I love my life but there's a lot of juggling and house work that I could do without. Oh and there's the cold, ugh.

But I'm going to try to hold onto the warm and easy and fun time we've had here and use it as my happy place. If chaos has erupted and I have a far away look in my eyes, you know where I'll be.

So right now we are on a plane, high, high above the East coast of Australia. Have a look up, you might see us. Don't forget to wave.

Have a happy Wednesday. X
