Just Being a Mum

Dressing up is so much fun. This week we have had a bit of dress up fun in our house, it is very funny..

First Little Miss decided it would be a good idea to put on Little Mans Singlet and underpants over the top of her clothes. Then do the cleaning whilst playing the harmonica, it was hilarous, I am so glad that I captured these for the future.

Then the little Man insisted on being a snow man and wanted to have a carrot nose and other fruit eyes. What better to stick it to your face than sticky tape.

Of course Little Miss had to have a turn, can’t do anything for one that you can’t do for the other.

Cubby House Fun

What is it about Kids and cubby houses? I know I loved to make a cubby house and just play in it when I was a child, my children are no different.

This cubby was made from my clothes dryer covered in towels and blankets.. So much fun to be had with such simple things.

Even Daddy was pretending to nod off, or maybe he was really trying to..

The Wig

Of course when I bought the Wig home for the party, two small people had to have a turn..

Very funny, they are so cute.

The little man said ” I look like a girl ” funny that.

This weekend was the big weekend of the little mans Preschool Fundraising Trivia Night.

As I am on the social committee this was a big night for us all, all the organising that goes into putting a night like this together is amazing. We have been busy for a few weeks now, making sure that we had everything ready so the night could run smoothly.

The theme for our trivia night was Getting Wiggy With It - Wear a wig, headdress, hat or crazy hair. It was a great turn out, we got 130 people to attended and I would have to say prob 110 of those people wore a wig, it was fantastic.

Of course my family being a bit of a party family, we were all there with wigs on. We had a great night, and it was a successful fundraiser for the school..

This is a picture of our table, the little mans Grandad won the wiggiest male prize..

Nana, Me, Auntie B

Great Wig, looking a bit tired.

Fun at the Park!

Little Man got a razor scooter for his birthday, so we have been getting in some practise at the park.

I has been a bit chilly so we were all nice and warm.

Little Man also had his elbow and knee pads on, which he also got for his birthday.

They just look like kids with attitude

I just really like this picture  of Little Miss, so had to put it on the blog.

Happy Birthday

It was a Happy Birthday to our Little Man this week.

It was also a Happy Birthday to Just Being A Mum. As you can see Week 52, I have been putting together this blog now for a year. I hope to keep going with it for a few more yet so stay tuned.

Thanks to all my loyal readers I hope that you still enjoy my blog.

As you know my Sister works for Clean Up Australia, and they were there to see Plastiki into Sydney.

You were able to go and have a look at Plastiki and say hi to the crew that sailed it here to Sydney from San Francisco. The Little Man and I were invited to go and see it at the maritime Museum at Darling harbour. So of course we jumped at the chance, I thought that the little man would be interested to see a boat made from all recycled material. It was great, here is Plastiki’s official web site if you would like to take a look. It is still at the maritime museum for a while if you want to check it out for yourself.

The little man kept saying that the boat was made from rubbish. Too funny.

After all the fun was over I thought that while we were at the Maritime Mueseum and it was only the little man and I, I would take him to see the Submarine, he thought it was great that we got to go inside.

From the top of the Submarine, before going inside

Inside - On one of the bunk beds. When I looked at him in the bunk, I thought how did a grown man sleep in that small bunk for long periods of time. Amazing.

All the engines, he was fascinated by it all.

It was a great Mum & Son day, we had loads of fun.

I know I said that I couldn’t belive it when Little Miss turned 2 last month, but I really can’t believe that the little man has turned 4. Wow!

He was so excited that he was going to turn 4, “I am a big boy now I have turned 4″

We just had a quiet one this year with family and friends, he has been lucky as he has had a couple of parties with a couple of cakes, when he actual birthday came he asked me where his cake was. He had already had 2 cakes.

He had a really great day this year, which makes up for his 3rd birthday when he was grumpy and didn’t want to know anyone.

The face of excitement!

Happy Birthday little man, you are great to have around

We Love You!!!

Upside Down Mum!

Now that the little Man knows how to use my camera I always have some surprise pictures that I didn’t even know were taken.

This is one of those pictures, I love it, it just shows you what the little Man is like, with that cheeky little grin.
