Just Being a Mum

Wow where did that go. It is hard to believe that Little Miss turned 2. What a day it was.

Happy Birthday Little One, you will still always be our baby.

Sorry that it didn’t turn out to be the greatest birthday, but at least you are little and didn’t really know what was going on.

The story is that Little Misses Daddy was running for the train on the way home from work on Friday night and he tripped and broke his leg, he ended up in emergency on the night of little miss’ birthday. Her birthday party with family was canceled on the Saturday night as Daddy was

I know you are all thinking, what has happened to Kim. Where is she and what is she doing.

Well it  has been a very busy couple of weeks for me and I really haven’t had a chance to scratch myself, let alone write for a blog. But I am back, I hope anyway. I have started another new adventure, I started my own home business so I have been busy working on that.

Then this week has been a bit out of the ordinary. But I will do a couple of posts tonight just to fill you in as to what has been happening to us in the last couple of

My Auntie B

Little Miss just loves her Auntie B, and her Auntie B just loves her.

I just love this picture of them both!

You will all be pleased that little miss has decided that is it Ok to sleep in her bed now. YAY!!!

It has taken a while but we have finally done it. The little Man is still sleeping in our bed until I go to bed and then I put  him back in his own bed. But I think that we should be able to get him to start in his own bed tomorrow night, we will just have to see how it goes.

Daddy sits just inside the door and she stays in her bed and just goes off to sleep instead of the constant getting up and down and sleeping

Walking above the trees

This weekend we decided to go on a day trip to a sky walk.  You walk in the tree tops rather than down on the ground. You are about 22 meters above the ground and at one point you are 45 meters high. WOW!

It was a lot of fun, the little man was a little unsure to start with, as we were quite high up, but he got used to it after a while.

Fun was had by all. I will post some more photos during the week.

Photo of the Week - Wk44

Fun is such a good topic for a capture when you have small children. They are so much fun, hard work sometimes but lots of fun the rest of the time.

Here are my fun pictures. The children decided it was a good idea to wear Daddy and Nana’s jackets, they thought that it was great fun.

My Beautiful Family

I have been unwell this week and have had to take it easy.

My wonderful husband has been taking care of the children while I have a rest and get better.

They have been having some out and about time, they went for a walk up to a light house and had a really great time.

Thanks guys for being such a wonderful family and taking care of your poor old Mum.

Photo of the Week - Wk43

This weeks You Capture was to give the best shot for the week, just one photo. Well this was a little tricky as I usually use my best shot for my Photo of the Week. But this is a good one.

This photo was actually taken by the Little Man, while he was having a lovely time with his Dad at the play area. We have had a fair bit of rain this week, so what better place to take the children than and indoor play area.

It is nice to see my husband having fun with the children, he loves them and they love him.

It will be fun to

After Monday’s sleeping saga, I know that you are all wondering how we went last night and tonight with the little monster and her sleeping.

Last night was amusing, we started off with the normal not wanting to sleep. Put the little man in our bed to sleep just in case. We just carried on with the putting back into bed routine. It finally went quiet around 8.20pm, 22 times of putting her back. We breathed a sigh of relief, finally she had gone quiet.

We were sitting there thinking, we should just leave her for a few more minutes, in case she is not asleep. So this is what we did.
