I know, you all feel my pain. "Poor Kelly. BooHooHoo. Suck it up, Jahnke- We are cold in MN." But actually I misspoke. School break summer is ending. We still have months left to enjoy the heat. Teehee.
I have to say we have made the most of these 6 weeks off between school years. Want to know what we have been up to? Well, thanks for asking- I shall tell you.
First up, Chesney lost a tooth, this being her fourth. We were on the beach when she lost it, so I consider her lucky it didn't fall in the sand where it would have been gone for all eternity.

Then we had the pleasure of my parents, Bob and Martha, coming for a visit over Christmas.
Duey and I were able to take advantage of the parents mentioned above for babysitting and went into Sydney to watch the fireworks over the harbour bridge. Spectacular.
Logan attended a daylong Rugby Camp and he loved it.
Chesney went to an ice skating lesson to see if she would like it. She did not.
We hung out at Darling Harbour.
We went to the Sydney Aquarium
Chesney lost her fifth tooth. She is such a trooper. She won't pull it out when it is uber loose. But she doesn't freak out when it gets stuck in odd positions from eating either. Good girl, her daddy was very proud because, according to him, he use to freak out at losing teeth as a boy.
We took in a day at the Taronga Zoo
The we went to the Australian Museum, where logan tried on various animal skulls
And Chesney couldn't understand why I was saying "Maybe a dingo ate your baby."
Australia Day was yesterday, So like all good Americans living in Australia, we celebrated.
We hung out with the very large crowd of people
We listened to the singers on the floating stage, including the recent Australian Idol winner (whose name I can't remember) and the bushy haired guy that sings "You make me feel like dancing" (whose name I also can't recall). Then the sail boat show.
What else did we see?
Fireworks, of course. And lots of them. The show was spectacular.
But above all, we just hung out and soaked in the sun.
School starts back for Chesney tomorrow- she will be entering in year 2
Logan starts back on Monday for his last year at preschool. He will be going three full days this year. Hmmmm, what will I do with all my free time.

Gosh! You have been so busy! What will you do with all your free time? I think a nap is in order. Great post, Kelly. It's so fun to see all that you have been up to. Glad Logan loved rugby. Too bad Chesney didn't like ice skating. Chris is taking Mira skating this weekend. Hope she likes it more than Chesney did or it might break Chris's heart! Miss you!
Yes..you all have been busy!! I love all the expressions the kids make in the different pictures!! So cute! Chesney must be making a lot of money with all the teeth..are you giving gift cards too like Michelle did? Love you all, Mom
