Just Being a Mum

Merry Christmas

Just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. It is hard to believe that another year has gone by, but then again when I look back a lot has happened in that year. Now it is time to enjoy your holiday and time with your family and friends before welcoming 2011.

I think that we did really well with our family Christmas photo this year, if I do say so myself..

We had a great day at the park on the weekend. Just a few friends, it was a really windy day so it was a perfect day for flying kite..

We didn’t have any kites when we went to the park, we weren’t even thinking about flying kites. But it just so happened that a wonderful Auntie & Uncle S gave the children a kite for their Christmas present. I was going to make them put it under the tree, but they decided to open them there and then. Lucky they did really or we wouldn’t have been able to fly those kites..

Kites are so much fun, even the big people have fun, I actually think that they may have had more fun than the the little ones.. :o)

My Favourite Picture

This has to be one of my favourite pictures taken this year

It really shows what they are like

I am proud to be their Mum!

Helping Daddy - Wk71

The little Man was invited to a circus birthday party for one of his friends from preschool. He had the best time, they had lots of equipment from the circus that the children were allowed to play on.

Little Man really loves anything to do with the circus, Nana & Pop have taken him to the circus a couple of times and he loves it, so when he found out about the party he was so excited.

One of his favourites was spinning the plate on the stick, he was getting good at it by the end of the party. He could hold it up really high, he didn’t quite get the spinning part happening but he was having fun anyway.

Next was the circus ring, this was great fun spinning around and swinging back and forth.

What would the circus be without standing up on the trapeze. Way to go!!

Helping Daddy

I just love watching the children when they are helping their Daddy

I am not really sure if it was helping or hindering, but they had fun what ever

They just love spending time with Daddy on the weekends.

Christmas Time - Wk70

Yesterday we were invited by some friends to join them at Carols in the Park. We don’t like to do late nights with the children as we pay for it the next day, but why not it is Christmas.

It was a lovely evening, we had lots of fun singing along to the carols, the children had fun running around. I am glad that we did go as it was a good night with good friends and the children enjoyed themselves. (Yes we did pay for it today)

Christmas Time

I know it is that time of the year already, hard to believe that a whole year has gone by, so fast.

A lot has happened in that year, and I hope that you have enjoyed your time with us during the year.

Christmas is not Christmas without the tree, here is ours, decorated by two small very excited people.

Pretty Ballerina

Do a twirl for us pretty ballerina

Nana & Grandad bought this little tutu for little miss and she just loved it, twirling around and around, even made Nana giddy.

Nothing like Mud - Wk67

We really enjoyed our last camping trip with Nana and Grandad so we decided it was time to do it again. This time Nana & Grandad had a caravan and we purchased ourselves a new tent, which is a Mansion with 3 bedrooms and a vestibule area (I love that word).

We went away for 10 days and it was great fun again. We didn’t however have the great weather that we did with the last trip. We managed to get stuck in a really bad storm, the awning on the caravan blew up and broke the leg (which we managed to fix) and the tent vestibule blew up in the air. The children were fast asleep in the tent at the time, little Miss slept through the whole thing. Luckily the little Man woke up when we had got everything back together again. Phew what a night.

Then another few nights later we got a hail storm, the little man thought it was great, he was out eating the hail stone, oh what fun. We did have some really beautiful days, but the weather is all over the place at the moment you never know what you are going to get.

After the first down pour of rain the children couldn’t help themselves they just had to go and play in the mud, what fun, I remember I loved to make mud pies when I was that age.

Rain stopped and off came the rain coats, but we still played in the mud, and got it all over our clothes now.

Why not just get in the bucket that would be easier

Do a little twirl in your pretty ballerina outfit

It was pouring down with rain so Daddy decided to have a shower under the water coming off the awning on the caravan. Little Man thought that this was hilarious.

At the next camping area we were right on the Lakes edge, this is such a lovely picture of the boys.

Through the trees, on one of the walks that we went on (well done Nana)

A beautiful sunset over the Lake

Rainy Day fun on our second last day, Ten pin bowling, had a great time. Not sure about the little mans style here but it seemed to have worked for him, he came 2nd overall.

Nothing Like Mud

Why is that kids love to play in the Mud?

I know that I loved it when I was a child, and so do my children.

As soon as it rained, on with the raincoats and lets make some mud pies..
