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..

Take Care!

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)

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)

mmmm ice cream!

Well of course he ended up with a couple of little helpers to help him clean the deck. Of course this then turned out to be a lot of fun and lots of silly time to be had. Like ending up in the bucket of water, instead of using the bucket of water to clean the deck.

They had a great time, it kept them quiet for a while and they just had fun being silly.

Little Man asked if he could have his goggles, when this request came I could only imagine what was going to happen next and it did..

Goggles on ready

One Child in bucket

Only just fits

Scrub, Scrub, Scrub, someone got to clean things up

The Sillys Started

Other child tried to get in the bucket

Just having fun.

By the Way, the deck did end up really sparkling clean by the end of it all.

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.

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

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 on 4 or 40.

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 still in hospital.  We will make up for it next year.

In hospital with Daddy

Daddy’s broken leg… ouch!

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 in a ball on the floor.

She still hasn’t worked out how to stay under her covers, but I am sure that will come with time. She screams out at about 3am, I am woken with a start and get up to find her on top of her covers, complaining that she is cold, well it is no wonder, I would be cold if I was on the top of my covers too. So I put her back and snuggle her back under the covers and then that is usually it until the morning.

Lets just cross our fingers and hope that it is it for now. I know that we are going to get teething issues soon, so it is a never ending cycle, but a fun one.
