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

It was Auntie B’s Birthday on the 15th, as we were still with Nana & Grandad we didn’t get a chance to have a party or anything with her.

Fortunately Uncle had been organising one already for the weekend, so we were able to celebrate with Auntie B when we got back home.

Had a really lovely lunch with lots of friends and family, yes Nana & Grandad came home with us on Friday so the little people were very excited about that.

Happy Birthday Auntie B

The Little Man really really wanted to try fishing and has kept on long enough to Grandad. Grandad finally while shopping bought the little man a fishing rod all of his own.

So off the three of them went, down the wharf at the end of Nana & Grandad’s street, and tried out the little mans new fishing rod.

They had a great time, I went down to see what was going on and said to the little man, have you caught any fish yet. He said “No, but that isn’t the point, we are having a good time” Well sorry!. Sometimes I am not sure how old he really is, going

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

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

A really good friend of mine was becoming an Australian citizen today. As I was the first person that she met when she arrived in the country in 2000, I thought that I should be at her ceremony to see her receive her certificate. She moved here from Germany in 2000 not knowing anyone, I met her through a friend, and it just so happened that I had a spare room for her to stay in at the time.

It was however a bit of an adventure for us to get there. Little Miss and I picked up the Little Man from Preschool and went on an adventure. We first stopped

Bubble Baths are the Best!

The little people were having a bubble bath the other day, and I just couldn’t resist taking the camera in the room with them. They just looked so cute all surrounded in bubbles. I don’t really know what it is but the kids LOVE it!.

I remember having a bubble bath with my sister when we were little, they are so much fun. You can use all your imagination. Play, play, play until the water is almost cold.

The Little Man always makes me a Chai Latte as that is my favourite drink, he calls it a Chai Matte which is very cute. They just have fun.

Here are

It is my birthday next week and my beautiful sister wanted to give me my birthday present, but I had to have it early and I had to go somewhere, but I had no idea where I was going. My sister loves to give experiences rather than just things for your birthday.

I left the children in the safe hands of the grandparents and went and stayed at my sisters house. We had to get up early and be in the car by 7.30am. I was a bit excited because days with my sister are always great it didn’t really matter where we were going.

Driving, driving, driving, we were heading in

Family Holidays

We were given a weekend away for Christmas from my wonderful parents, Sister & brother in-law. It was really nice just to get away from it all, just the four of us. We had a really nice time, unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side, but we still enjoyed ourselves, rain or no rain.

Our first stop was at the Kiama blowhole. It is a hole in a rock in the ocean, as the waves crash against the side of the rock, it shoots up through the hole, causing a spray of water. Little Man thought it was great, Little miss didn’t really like it at all, she just buried

I must start by saying that I really hate moving, I know hate it such a harsh word, but I have to use it in this instance. The little man will tell you that you are not allowed to hate anything, you just don’t like it very much.

I thought that I didn’t really mind moving, but last week I changed my mind. Actually I think the part that I really don’t is the packing up part, but I don’t mind the unpacking part.

I have had fun moving things around and finding new homes for all our bits and pieces, this is not an easy task when there is NO room
