Over the last two weeks....

I have managed to make use of my camera! We have had a busy couple of weeks and this is what we have been up to

TALKING ON THE PHONE
The Mooch had begun to have conversations on the phone. No one there of course! When there is someone on the other end she likes to push buttons!!

FAMILY SNAP
Scarlett came and sat between us just before going out and I thought we'd better get a pic. Chubby me! I dont think you can tell that I am pregnant here??

I FEED MYSELF
Miss Mooch likes to feed herself now. Throws a tanty if we try feeding her!

PARTY
We went to a Masqurade party on Saturday night. It was a suprise party for Luke Hillier. It was lots of fun and I think everyone had a mask too! Nick didnt get any pictures of us...BOO HOO!

MOTHERS D AY
We had lunch at Nanny and Pa's on Mothers day. Yummy kababs, fried rice and salad. I had the nicest suprise when I woke up in the morning. I got a little pressie with the new Missy Higgins CD inside! I think it maybe better than her last. I also recieved lots of Baci Kisses!! Grandma has to wait for her special Mother's Day suprise but it will be worth it!

PLAYGROUP
We have playgroup every fortnight which is lots of fun for Scarlett. We met at the park this week and played on all the fun equipment. Scarlett particularly enjoyed this pony and jiggled about on it! So cute.

munchkin

I think this looks hilarious but it's not really. This little munchkin is becoming a little climber!! Scarlett climbed into her book basket and stood up on top of all the books to grab the stickers off the shelf. She then had a play and climbed back out again. I have a feeling the climbing phase will not be over too soon!

birthdays and other stuff

Happy Birthday William! Last week at playgroup we had a party for Williams first birthday. Lots of fun eating and playing!




This week has been pretty good until yesterday when Scarlett decided to be whiny and clingy all day! Probably a tooth. Scarlett surprises me every day with some of the things she does! She loves the Stake Calendar. Caught her laying on the step reading it!! I am also gradually being inspired to sew again. Made Scarlett some PJ bottoms for winter. It's starting to get cooler here. This is a picture of the first finished pair.

Greek GIrl

Easter was pretty full on this year. Nick's Birthday fell on Easter Monday and our Anniversary was the following day. Had to show you my new goodies. I got some new perfume. (Nick picked it out himself!) and he did a great job....smells yum. He also got me the latest Harry Potter. Bit embarrassed to say that I havn't finished the last book!! Better get on with it before the movie comes out! Nick has birthday money to spend!



Julia wanted to see if the Greek slippers fit. They look really cute but unfortunately they are still a little big and came off after a minute. Hopfully they will fit better for winter!

bout time!

ESSIE PESSIE POO
We are so excited to finally hear from you!! More pics please!

easter sun

We had a wonderful easter! Grandma and grandpa came and spent four days with us. We've got to get yourEaster photos so I can put them up. They took most of the pics this Easter. Quality time spent with them was the most important thing so we really didn't do anything that exciting. Scarlett loved waking up everymorning and spending time with gran and grandpa. They went on a regular walk to the pool every morning with a quick hello to the puppy on the way. How fun!! We went for a trip to Wynnum on Monday to have a picnic with all the grandparents.

Grandpa and grandma spent alot of time chasing scarlett too!

On the little beach watching mooch go round and round Nick in the water. She eventually fell in! and had to be stripped off. Luckily we had some other clothes. I got a little red that day sitting in the sun.

amazing!

I needed to write a quick post to show you all what I managed to accomplish on photoshop last night before bed. Thanks to ches and alot of patience I got the hang of layers and moving stuff! Not sure on colours yet but one thing at a time! What do you all think? The top is the original if you didn't guess.

stripes rock

Scarlett and I went shopping the other day in target and accidently came across a stand with the coolest socks and stockings for babies. I couldn't resist! She is wearing them in the pic that I have messed around with on photo shop. (don't ask about it being lop sided!) The top stripey socks are too small for her but will be perfect for the next bub! Cool Hey! One day I caught mooch climb into a basket and start pulling the nappy bags out one by one. She has been pulling the funniest faces lately. Like the bug eyes???

memories

I was thinking about Tassie the other day and all the fun things we got up to on our holiday. (yeah, I havn't uploaded all my new photos!) We are excited to see grandma and grandpa at Easter time. We might get some cool pics then too! Here is Essie Poo with Scarlett at Kingston Beach. This was an amazingly hot day however the water was still freezing!


Aunty Puddy and Scarlett in the City. As I recall Scarlett threw a couple of tanties that day! I really like pud's hair in this pic. She has since had it coloured and cut.
Yum, Yum..........

Bongarong Park

Isn't this a cute pic of mum and dad. It was taken at a wedding where dad was in the wedding party! The fam took my camera to the wedding...
This is down at Uncle Deidre and Uncle Johns shack at Saltwater river. While the boys went fishing us girls went for a walk to the convict ruins. Very cool! That's Kate and Cristie our cousins with Scarlett and Ess.

Yay!....The girls went fishing and guess who caught the most fish?....I am sure it was ME!!!

Christmas day

bubbles

We're back

Sorry everyone for my slackness! I have been a little run down after Christmas, so instead of jumping on the computer and blogging I have been sleeping! Here are some Christmas pics. I made a few concertina books for Christmas pressies this year. This is one I made of the cousins to keep at Nanny and Pa's.

The day after we arrived in Hobart Scarlett was spoilt with another party!!

Isabella Finilla and Scarlett playing....Here we are still waiting for Scarlett to start walking.

The cool 'S' cake the girls decorated.
