Well what a horrible start to 2011! I'm sure anyone who reads this blog already knows all about the floods that devastated Brisbane over the last week, here is a link to some before and after pics if you want to check it out:

Our street was initially on the flood map so we were quite worried about what would happen, but after further investigations they took our street off. It ended up coming nowhere near us, thank goodness.
Zane joined the gumboot army at Yeronga on the weekend to help with the clean-up, here are some pictures of what he saw on his way there:
That's a pretty good snapshot of what a lot of Brisbane looks like at the moment.
Thank you to everyone for your concerns, it was nice to know that people care!!
Life with three small children must go on in the middle of a natural disaster - strangely they have no concept of other people's suffering!!
Liam had his first day back at day care last Friday. This year is a little different to last year as we now provide the lunches and snacks. It was very exciting for Liam to have a new lunch box ... not so exciting for me as I am new to the world of school lunches ... very time consuming!!
Here's me packing my first ever school lunch.
In other news, James's friend Timothy turned two. He had a lovely party which my boys thoroughly enjoyed.
Lawn update: we have "Army Grubs"!! They are so named because there are literally thousands of them and they marched with purpose onto our lawn and proceeded to munch their way through most of it. Zane swung into action and after a quick google search, did his own marching with purpose into Bunnings to find something to exterminate the little blighters with. Mission: accomplished.
