The many faces of Poppy Sylvia Holmes

"There is a castle on a cloud...."

It all started with a picture of a little girl on a poster on the side of a bus. "Who's that Mum?"
"That's the little girl from Les Miserables" replied Kate
"Who's she?"
"She sings songs in this musical about the French revolution"
"Can I see the trailer?'
"Of course darling"Said Kate unknowingly
and that's where it all began. Fast forward 4 months and Ivy has possibly watched the trailer to the new film coming out in december no less than 700 times. Our broadband usage has tripled. She now knows every word to every song and can distinguish between the different stage performances and productions. She also has all her friends at kindy singing all the songs word perfect. This is particularly interesting when all the girls do the Lovely ladies routine "getting quick ones in the park".
If Ivy's not destined for a career in musical theatre she'll be helping the poor in soup kitchens

Who pooed in my shoe?

the answer is of course a wallaby. Our first whole family and friends camping trip to the Basin turns out to be a major success... no thanks to that four legged critter. First it broke into the tent at 3am, then it rattled around the plates enough for poppy to stir, then it raided the food bag, grabs some muffins out of it, ripped open the packaging ate 2 of the muffins and left a nice little poo in my shoe. From now it's kangaroo stew every easter.

                           poppy unsurprisingly took to camping like a Wallaby poo in a shoe....

                      Richard was crowned Mr popular with the  girls for the third year running

                                Kate first time went well despite a short stint in Gaol

                            Poppy decided that anything a wallaby could do she could do better

                           the only thing missing was an army of soldier ants
