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

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

Why So Many?

The little man is going through the Why stage, he is close to 3 1/2 and I have been waiting for it to happen.  But I don’t think that we were really that ready for it, as now it is here I am going crazy.

“Why are you doing that?”
“What is that for?”
“How come those are there?”
“Why can’t I?”

My favourite ” Why haft I?”

Why so many questions for the same problem. One why would surely be enough? do we really need to ask why 4 or 5 times, it is the same answer you are going to get all 4 or 5 times.

I don’t have an issue answering the

Am I being selfish, when sometimes I sit and play with the children, but in the back of my mind, I am thinking how nice it would be to have some time to myself. Even just a few hours, one day a week.

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my children very much, and I LOVE being a stay home Mum, but you are always going to have one of those days. My children are my life and my world, but sometimes, just sometimes it would be nice to have some time out.

They grow so fast, and I enjoy every minute with them, just watching them grow. I should enjoy

Swimming Lessons

The Little Man goes to swimming lessons once a week, but as it was school holidays this week so we booked him in for a full week of lessons, half an hour each day.  As we have a pool at home, we think that it is important that he can at least get himself back to the edge if he falls in.

I think that it made a big difference to his swimming this time. It has taken him months to get him to put his face and head in the water, but all of a sudden it has just happened.

I was starting to get a bit worried about it,
