This morning we finally went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This was Hannah’s first proper movie. She was so excited. She couldn’t sit back on the chairs properly as they would flick up and she would almost disappear through the back of the seat. She quickly learnt to keep her weight forward on the seat.

It was a long movie, almost 2 hours but Hannah sat through it all and took it all in. Stuart seemed to enjoy the movie too. Derek & I enjoyed it, although Derek says it’s not as good as the old movie with the Ompa Loompas who sing all the time.

Today is a beautiful day so this afternoon the front windows were washed. Hannah was in her togs helping.
She wanted to be squirted with water all the time. It was a great joke.

Derek started to wash the car, and Hannah was supposed to help too. But “helping” consisted of running up to Dad yelling “squirt me, squirt me” and running away squealing when the water got her.

Eventually Derek “sat down on the job”. This made it easier for Hannah to get wet.



Eventually she had to dry out so she sunbathed on the berm. Using Daddy’s towel of course. Her one might get wet!!!

In the meantime Stuart had taken himself up to the top garden, sat under the archway (for a bit of shade - notice the sweat shirt) to build his toolbox
