Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Family Camping

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

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!

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

Habits of Little Miss

Toddlers

Little Man is doing really well now, and has managed to make it past the terrible twos/threes stage and is slowly making it over the top to the hill.

Little Miss is a totally different story, I never realised how different boys and girls really are until you have one of each.

Little Miss was a very plasid and gentle baby, she would sleep really well and just goo and gaa like a good little baby, we really thought that she was going to be such a little gem. Well didn’t that change as she has grown up a bit, she is a bit of a monster child. Lucky she is cute!.
