Alarm!

So...Phoebe thought it would be fun to set an alarm to go off at midnight and wake her Dad up.At 11.45pm and the song "Waka Waka" blares out. Will wakes after about a minute wondering what is going on and I explain the joke.The music plays on loudly with no sign of Phoebe stirring. I get up to turn it off but hold it close to her sleeping head first.....nothing.She sleeps oblivious!

Fun times.

So...yesterday we spent hours making friendship bands....it's just the kind of thing that bush men end up doing when daughters come to visit.These are the ones I made.Phoebe is enjoying spending time with the hens and today she and Daddy went to Girraween for a walk to The Junction and a swim...

A mouse, a snake and a swim.

So...today Phoebe was up at 6.00 am and out watching the hens in the garden.While we were away collecting her in Brisbane we caught a mouse in one of the traps. Phoebe bravely held it out for the 'chooks' and Iris leapt at her trying to get it. Phoebe threw it and Isis ran off with it victoriously.Deranie, Phoebe's mum told me on the phone the other day that she was worried about snakes when Phoebe was walking down to the toilet. I reassured her that I had never seen a snake down near the toilet ever.Guess what Phoebe saw when she went down to the toilet today....a big, long, browny, black snake slithering past."That was creepy" she said.She and Daddy went for a swim in the dam this afternoon and after tea we played Cluedo...I won!I'm just letting you know.

The Phoebe has landed.

Will, Tiddalik and Phoebs.

Preparing for a visit.

So...today we head down to Brisbane for tomorrow we are collecting Phoebe from the airport. She is flying up from Sydney on her own to spend a week with us. It is the first time she will have flown without her Mum.It is all very exciting.Her bed is ready.
