August is upon us. Already.

After climbing Emu Mountain with the kids, I managed to zoom up another mountain to meet a friend at the Buderim Quilt Show.

A very colorful exhibition..

some people really go to a great deal of effort to produce their quilts..

 and they were almost outdone by the beauty of the hibiscus flowers decorating the tables..

 Had a nice morning tea with Mummy and grandchildren at the cafe...

oops, how did that happen, the hibiscus should be back up there with the other one!

 visits to the playground with the kids are always fun...and this little tyke is growing up rapidly and seems to be enjoying school...

 as well as games

someone else is growing up too fast too!

Grandma zoomed back up to Buderim to shop one day and decided to look at the Pioneer Cottage up there.

 Trips to the beach happen occasionally, always fun!

 and swinging is great fun too!

 Magnolias were in bloom, on a quick trip to Toowoomba

 for some special occasions

 collecting the mail at Kenmore brought this glimpse of flowers..

 someone enjoys coming to Mainly Music with me during the week

A cute baby born was born, and everybody was very excited...Prince George, who is now third in line to the British Throne after Prince Charles and his father, made his appearance with his parents Prince William and Katherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, 24 hours after he was born, on his way home...

 Someone else had a day of school, a pupil free day

 and we made a pirate hat,

 before we went off to visit John and Wendy at Farm Fantastic...at Caboolture

 Grandma had another quick trip to Caloundra

 where she discovered some interesting new buildings at the beach..

 Grandma also loves minding a little girl,

making doll's clothes

 the next time blue bear needed an apron too

 a little green frog made a dramatic impression on a little girl in her outdoor toy box one day I was minding her there!

 and the clouds were pretty spectacular too...

I should be winding up this post,as I always have too many photos...

 another day at the beach...

 and a visit to Mummy at USC Open Day, to look at the giant spiders spinning their webs of strong silk

 and have some fun at the Early Childhood play centre

and Grandma and M had a nice time at the beach one morning doing nothing much. The weather has been very pleasant lately.

Grandma has been doing a bit of looking around at  houses, mainly at Buderim, which seems to be conveniently placed...one day she'll be closer to making a decision I am sure! More next month which is starting to be closer to baby number three's arrival, and a visit from the NZ family for the little grandchildren...and visitors for Grandma too! See you soon! Have a great rest of August everyone.

Glad Jo made it home in one piece after dropping in to Royal Brisbane for a quick check up on her way home from a work meeting in Brisbane last week.. here is hoping she is allowed to remain closer to home these days!
