Daddy for a day ...

Holly all dressed up as Daddy! Coat, tie, badge, shoes and all!!

Breaky at Jells Park

 Enjoying the sunshine at Jells Park this morning. Breakfast and then off to the park ... like our babycino faces???

 Holly thought this photo was hilarious - she thought it looked like her skeleton!

 We have had the most amazing weather for the past week or so. We  have spent as much time out doors as possible - picnic are the kids favourite - and they like to prepare them themselves.

A very very small shindig for Mamma's birthday last week - a very quiet birthday. Mamma has vowed that next year will be a blinder!!

Star of the week!

 Holly has been counting down the sleeps for the past week for today to arrive.  This week she was star of the week.  She had a special chair to sit on, she got to talk ALL about herself to the class, show baby photos and family photos, distribute the lunch place mats and be in the spotlight for the week.  So far she has loved it.  But that wasn't all she was counting down the sleeps for, today Andrew did kinder duty with her! She was SO excited and has been waiting for almost a month for today to arrive!  He got to see her do her spiel to the class (which included telling everyone lettus was her favourite food??? and the Zebra was her favourite animal???)  She quite easily recited her phone numbers and our address.  Andrew stayed for the day and hung out in the playground with her and her friends - Holly was in her element!  Then then disappeared for a couple of hours and went out for lattes and cake! A very special Father and Daughter day.

Harry Pie

This boy is just too cute for words.  We cannot go anywhere with out him finding something to kiss and cuddle!  He is now sleeping in Holly's bed for his day sleep - which he love and was his choice.  His bed is on order, so its good practice!  Luckily he loves his sleep and doesn't try to get out and tells me to "Go Mummy" and practically pushes me out of the bed after a few stories!

23 weeks

 My  belly last week at 23 weeks

 I resorted to taking the "belly" shots myself, my good SLR is a bit big for Holly to hold properly so after a few attempts she gave up and told me to do it myself! Fair enough! Although while I was trying to take them, she came back with the other camera and this is what I found them doing!!

 Pretending to be little birds in a nest!



Sibling photos ...

 Trying to get a nice sibling photo!

Picnic in the park

 after a doctors appointment a few weeks ago we stopped at the park for a run around

Out for a coffee

Our weekend ...

 Daddy and Uncle Tim took us to a chocolate exhibition (which turned out to be more hype than it was).  We decorated our own chefs hats then decorated some cupcakes to take home!

 

Baking meringues

 Holly and I were a bit obsessed with Masterchef.  Thursday and Friday nights when there was no kinder the following day, she was allowed to stay up and watch it with me.  We would get in our jammies and snuggle up in bed together and wait for it to start.  She really enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching it with her and chatting about what was happening and what they were cooking.  Her favourite judge was Gary (she loved him!) and she particularly liked all the female contestants.  She would usually fall asleep in bed with me before it finished, but would jump up in the  morning and tell Andrew all about it.  A fun show to watch together.  Now that it is over we have been a bit inspired to make a few things.  Today we make a batch of meringues - which we will fill with fresh strawberries for desert tonight YUM!

 Andrew took the camera to work today, so these are from my phone (shocking photos I know!)

All was going quite well ... for a while!

Harry Barry didn't quite get the concept and thought it was finger paint!!! He had fun though!

Funny faces

No there is nothing wrong with Harrys eye ... just pulling a funny squinty smilie face!
