Just Being a Mum

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

Daddy has gone to the US for work, so we are staying with Nana & Grandad for 10 days. Very exciting.

Nana & Grandad have a vege patch and whenever we come down the little man helps in the garden. This time we planted some beans and beetroot. He went and checked on them this afternoon and apparently they are still little. What a surprise we only planted them 2 days ago. Kids are so funny and so innocent.

But we did get to pick a cauliflower which was yummy. Here is the little man with the cauli.

The cauliflower is hiding and so am I

But wait

On the Weekend Daddy decided that as it was starting to warm up and we wanted to sit out on the deck and have lunch, it would be a good idea to give it a bit of a clean.

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

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

The little man loves playing with the playdoh, he loves to make different shapes and food and all sorts.

The other day we were playing away with the playdoh and the little man says “look mummy, I have made an echidna” I was blown away when I came to have a look at what he had made.

Wow what a great echidna, it is fantastic, so good we had to keep it.

What do you think? remember I had nothing to do with it, he did it all himself.

This was then the little miss’ attempt at the echidna, pretty good too.

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

Oh my, my little girl is growing up so fast. I must say that the second child just seems to shoot up with out you even noticing. It is hard to believe that she was ever a little baby in arms, the baby stage seemed to just fly by and now we are getting first haircuts.

I initially just intended the little man to have his hair cut, he hates it when it starts to get in his eyes, so it is straight of to the hair dresser to have a trim. Well I had little miss with me and asked the lady what she thought, if she thought that it

Mowing the Grass

Little Miss was playing in Pops Garage and decided that she wanted to help cut the grass.

She quickly found the toy mower, Pops ear muffs and off she went.

You can’t see in the picture but she had a lovely dress on with hearts on her tights, and her pink gum boots.

It was my first Mothers Day with a child a preschool. What an experience that has been. I received an invitation a couple of weeks ago, asking me to come to preschool for an hour in the morning for a mothers day pampering.

Of course I wasn’t going to miss that for the world. So my husband stayed home to look after little miss while I went off to be pampered.

The little Man had a fantastic time, and so did I of course, who wouldn’t when you are about to be pampered by your nearly 4 year old son.

Ok this is how the morning paned out, we arrived and got straight

Heading towards Colds & Flu season

I can’t believe that it is not even winter yet and we already have a colds in the house.

We haven’t seen a sniffle or a runny nose for months, and as soon as the weather decides to change and get a bit colder, thats it it starts.

What is it about children and getting colds. We have train tracks coming down faces, we have sleepless nights because we can’t breath, nothing a bit of vics on the chest can’t fix. But we still have colds in the house and it isn’t even winter yet. The little man isn’t even at preschool, we are on school holidays.

This
