    well, everyone has enjoyed the playroom. schoolies looked in the cupboards and said "WOW! you do have alot of toys!"

    the train track has been all over the floor, the mat has been the sea & we've been fish swimming in it, and we've rowed on it, looking out for that crocodile - then screaming with delight!
