Colours

Check out the beautiful colours in this jug! Combined, this made a yummy breakfast. I have decided to try the green shake, which in this case consists of apple, raspberries and spinach leaves. ( all blended together with water) I watched the Jamie Oliver program last week about healthy eating . It really made me think a lot about being healthy, feeling good and living longer. I am making a few changes to the way I eat..... I don't eat take out for every meal like most of the people on the show though!! I'm pretty good but could be better!!! Anyway ....more fruit and veg is the way to go........


I bought these flowers at Woollies today... half price. I would have flowers in my house every day if I could afford it! Got to go.... fighting off Ollie

Sunday Best

It has been ages since I have sat down and did some sewing. It all started with the desire to make Ollie a little smock for feeding time... the little punk pulls bibs off and gets so grotty. It has been so hard sewing plastic and fabric together with bias binding!! Will show you the end product if it finally gets finished. I left that frustration to work on this little skirt for Scarlett. Feels so good to complete something.... Here is my little model!!

Here is the TV unit that mum helped me paint. Just showing her the doors that are now on.

I love this!

Check out this gorgeous quilt on the side. I would love to win this!! If you like it too you can go to the link on the side and enter the competition. good luck!!!

A year of Birthdays

Today at Playgroup we celebrated everyones birthdays. We played pass the parcel, swapped gifts and ate lots of yummy food. It was a beautiful warm day to play, eat and enjoy each others company.

New Trick

Somebody thinks he's cleaver!! He had to empty the draw all over my kitchen floor first!

Friends

I think this is hilarious.... they were both standing in front of the screen before told to sit!

They're just fooling us!!

We have great fun with friends!!!!

Best Friend

Hooray! The postman came with my flattie... finally! Mum, Pud and I took the kids to Ikea last week and what a day. Scarlett was in the foulest mood . I got hit in the head with her drink bottle a couple of times, mum got hit and Pud got gouged in the face. The highlight for the day was coming home and finding flattie had not come with us. Scarlett has slept with flattie all her life. He is her best friend so this stressed me out big time. Ikea still haven't found it so I reckon someone has pinched it or it has been swept under something. I quickly ordered a new flattie and told Scarlett they found him and gave him a bath to make him nice and fluffy. Now Ollie can have his flattie back!!! Scarlett went to sleep with Ollie's flattie and we took it when she was asleep. Here's the happiest girl in the world!!

Hooray

Cranky Pants

The whole week that mum came to stay this little munchkin played up. It all started on the way to the airport... crying the whole way. It's so hard to know what is wrong with little children when they are not well. The whole week I thought Ollie's teeth were bothering him. I was up at least twice everynight when Nick was away and then when he got back we had a ripper of a night on Saturday. Ollie didn't sleep in his bed the whole night. Sunday he had crusty stuff all over his ear..........Monday the doctor said he had an ear infection and his ear drum had ruptured! Now we know!!! Luckily he didn't have to have antibiotics because the rupturing helped all the fluid escape. We certainly have a happier little boy now! No more sickness please!

The Tiff

This is what happens when Nick goes away to have fun with the Young Men in Noosa! This has been happening quite often lately. We are so lucky to have mum come and stay with u! Here are the awesome pictures aunt Puddy took with her new camera today while watching the kids play.

Favourites

Here are some Tassie Favourites...

Ollie in his cool shirt...

Scarlett just loved the dress ups...

Uncle Ank hanging out with Ollie... teaching him a few moves!

Chillin with Colletie and Jess on the couch...


Ess and I went for a trip to K-Mart. Just wasn't exciting enough for baby Minol...

Having a feed in the back of the car... How cute is my little nephew!!

Brazilian BBQ... Yummo!! I was so excited that Minol cooked for us. He marinated all the meat over night and it was delicious! My mouth is watering just looking at it...

Garden

This is the first time I really don't know what to write about. I have so many more Tassie stories to tell, but I also feel like venting about the long week I have had.... longest week ever I reckon!! We have never been this sick in the past. After we all have had the flu and a tummy bug Ollie got sick again this week. I am so over it!! Does this happen to anyone? Ok, I'm done with that.

I love the Botanical gardens in Hobart. They are so beautiful and we get fabulous pictures every time we go. This time it was special though. We went with my good friend Chels and her girls who I haven't seen in about 6-7 years! I do miss you Chels! Scarlett is missing the girls too, especially you Bethan.

I'm the King of the Castle

Ollie helping Gaga with tea. A little taste testing! He just loves his food right now and can't get enough!!

Look at the view from my parents window...Oh how I miss this!!

This is also from the same window. Can you see Cadburys?

Dad had piles of dirt and rocks out the back which Scarlett had a lovely time carting around. One of her favourite tunes was " I'm the King of the Castle!"

It's been really hard to get going with the blogging since we've been back from Tassie. We arrived home at 1.15 on Thursday night. Scarlett slept for 20 min on the plane and Ollie slept for most of the flight. We are still getting back into routine. Scarlett is still not going to sleep until 9pm most nights... very unusual for her and driving me nuts!!! I am really missing my family right now. We had a wonderful time hanging out and destroying mum and dad's house!! I cant wait to visit again.

Hooray for Holidays

I have been waiting ages to head down to Tassie to see my gorgeous new little nephew. Baby Minol was blessed last Sunday. Scarlett just adores her little cousin and Ollie is fascinated! They have had a lovely time together while we have been visiting amongst doing lots of other stuff. You will have to wait though.... 30 min to upload these pics!!!

We missed you puddy!!

What the heck are you doing????

lots of cuddles and kisses...

Bath time....

Flight of the Conchords

I've been addicted to watching kiwi folk-parody band Flight of the Conchords right now and Bianca has been roped in too. The guy in this (Jermaine) looks like Anker Jnr we reckon and even acts like him too. Its classic. Bink wanted me to post some vids of them performing some of their songs.

Business Time (one for all the married folk!)



Rap Battle.



Bowie Song.

Sob, sob

Yes, this is my sob story! Last week I got the flu, which I haven't had for a very long time. Of course like any other mother I had to try and soldier on.... yep the pain killers were the only thing that helped me get through the day with the little ones. It is now a week on and I am feeling pretty good.....(I also took ease a cold tablets too) Unfortunately the kids have it now and the pain is continuing. I feel like I have a new born again!!! Constant grizzling and clinging. I am hoping we are all well by the time we visit Gaga and Grandpa in two weeks.

Oh....everything has not all been bad of late. Yesterday I found that Cotton On Kids had re opened at Carindale! Yay!!! They have the cutest little kiddie clothes! If anyone wants me to buy and bring down to Tassie, let me know. http://www.cottonon.com.au/kids.php

So special

(Here are my handprints... for everyone to view. I had so much fun... doing them for you. SO when you look upon them hanging on your wall, memories will come back to you, of me when I was small.......)

(Mummy, I love you For all that you do. I'll kiss you and hug you, Cause you love me, too. You feed me and need me To teach you to play, So smile cause I love you On this mothers Day)

About 4 weeks ago Scarlett started pre kindy on Fridays. She absolutely loves it! Her cousin Elina goes there too, so they get to play together twice a week now. I have spent many years helping children make mother's Day cards and pressies and now I finally have one of my own!! It is so special having something that your child has created for you. The poems are gorgeous too!
