Morning funny

Harry was lying in bed with me this morning playing with my hair and he said "you have a bum pin!" "a what?" I said. "A bum pin"
I realized a second later he was pointing to a bobby pin in my hair!!

Early morning random antics

Harry woke up this morning at 7am, troddled into our bedroom, climbed up onto our bed an put one of his hats on my head, then one on Andrews, then troddled back to his room and hopped back into bed!
He is one funny boy that most certainly marches to the beat of his own drum!

Funny saying

Harry has the funnies saying at the moment. When he is trying to convince me of something instead of saying "for real Mum!" which is what Holly says, he says;
"It's for my real life mum!"
It's very cute as he says it with such conviction!

Please put down your toast before reading.

I have been meaning to document this moment for a week. Not so much for the memory of it, but more so, so I can remember to bring it up on their 21st's.

Last Sunday we had a very lazy day. We all stayed in our Jammies most of the day until we went to Billy and 'Nets' for an early dinner.
Just before we left Harry was on our toilet and he called out as there was no toilet paper left, I got in there and cleaned him up and sent him out. 5 minutes later I realized Lucy wasn't in sight, I went to our bedroom and found her in the ensuite chewing on an empty toilet roll. I scooped her up and transferred her to the playroom. A few minutes later I could smell poo? I couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from. I started with Lucy, thinking she needed changing. She stank of poo, but not her nappy? I then realized she had been crawling in the bathroom!!! I scrubbed her clean, revolted by the fact she somehow had poo on her.
After she was all changed and clean, I was still baffled as to how she smelt like poo? I then walked back to our ensuite picked up that empty toilet roll only to find it covered in chunks of POO!!!! Putting 2 and 2 together, I quickly realized My darling Harry had resourcefully wiped his Bum with the toilet roll before calling me.

I swear I did not sign up for this shit when I had kids ... Literally!

Funnies

I was putting Harry to bed last night and while we were chatting I said to him;
Harry, you are going to be a seriously amazing man when you grow up.
To which he replied;
When I am a man, I'm going to be on Masterchef, do you know why?
Why? I asked
So I can make chocolate ... AND EAT IT ALL!!!!!!

I had a laugh, after he was asleep I was telling Andrew about the conversation, he laughed because he and Holly had just had a similar discussion .....

Andrew: Holly, I am SO proud of you.
Holly: for Jack in the beanstalk? (school production)
Andrew: no baby, just for being you!
Holly: (with out missing a best) Well who else would I be?????

We both had a good laugh. I just love how our kids think xx

Out of the mouths of babes

We were driving yesterday and Harry came out with something that sounded quite impressive for his age. I said to him "Harry how did you know that?"
What he came out with next made me laugh; "because I'm very clever" then he paused and added "actually because I'm very smart! I'm the incredible book eating boy - I ate 150,000 books, that's why I'm so smart!"
I had a good laugh to myself, he often often comes out with complex sentences and words. I love that he referenced one of his favourite books- it was way too cute!

Friday Funny

This morning on the drive to school Lulu started grizzling. Lucy loves being sang to and the last few days when I have started singing to her in the car, she immediately stops crying.  I said to Holly;

Mummy: "Watch this Hol, she stops crying when I sing this song to her"
              "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy"
Holly:      "Mum she is not your son?"
Mummy:  "That's right? Why did you say that?"
Holly:      "You should be singing - You are my daughter-shine!!"

It took me a second to realize what she was saying, It was a great funny to start the day!

What is that thing called love?

Thursday is library day at Billanook, a favourite for Holly. She loves to pick her new book out each week and bring it home and read it in bed that night.  Today she came home with a book titled 'What is that thing called love?'.
While I was waiting for Holly and Harry to settle down in bed so I could begin reading, I said to them "What does love mean?" The answers were priceless and perfect ...

Holly: "Its when you're really really really really really really (x20) best friends with someone" So true and honest, I love it!

Harry: "it 50, 250 hundred thousand love hearts" agghh!

Are they not the most gorgeous definitions of love by a 5 and almost 3 year old?

Face painting at the Knox Festival

 On Sunday we ventured off to the Knox Festival, we were lucky enough to dodge the rain, and we ended up staying all afternoon.  Holly and Harry had their faces painted - Harry wanted to be a cat but came out with this gorgeous dog face!!! He looked so funny!  I think his cheeky little personality made it all the more funnier!

On a side note, Harry loves going to kindy, he has quite a few friends down there too, the lastest name that we hear all the time is Velvet. Except Harry can't pronounce it properly and calls her Belbet! Its way too cute. Yesterday Holly and I had a girls day and we went down to pick him up, Harry ran up and grabbed Hollys hand and said "Hollly this is Belvet, and Belvet this is Holly!" WAY too cute and I could have just crushed all three of the with love!

Wrong? You decide.

Yesterday Liz took Holly and Harry to the library for story time. Holly took out a dozen or so books and proudly  bought them home to show me.  Last night after our girls night (Andrew's away and Harry had a sleepover with Grandma) we curled up in bed and started to read the new pile of books.  The first one we read was lovely, the second one however was a little different.  We have a few baby books floating around our house - nice books that explain that Mummy is having a baby and the excitement that goes with it.  This particular book was called "Our Baby".  It started off quite innocent, a few pages it explains the mother is having a home birth (also quite fine), but then half way through, I turn the page and this is what we are looking at ........

 I was not expecting to see this - I don't really have a problem with it, Holly is quite geared up with information on where baby's come from and how they arrive into the world, but when you are not expecting these images .... well my reaction was to laugh my arse off ... it seriously caught me by surprise ... yes I know, very immature response!  Then this .....

 and then we finish off with a nice explanation of how the Mummy deliverers the placenta and the other siblings all crowd around it to have a look ....

I'm sure it is perfectly acceptable - I certainly know my cousin - who has had a home birth and her other kids watched - and is studying like a madwoman to become a midwife - would think this is great ....

Me ? .... the Jury is still out.

Although I still laugh when I see the pictures!

An embarrassing trip to Ikea ...

Last Sunday we went to Ikea, I had a list of things I wanted to get, and well, with #3 not too far away, there was no putting it off.  When we got there I borrowed one of their wheelchairs, I struggled walking to the entrance and there was no way my back was going to take me through the windy gridlock of a new Ikea store! After we managed to maneuver our way around the store with Harry on my lap, Holly pushing, then Daddy pushing, Holly on my lap, Harry standing on the foot stool we finally made it to the register.  I desperately had to go to the loo and there were no disabled toilets, so I went into the normal ones. It was miraculous! I stood up out of my chair and walked to the loo, however when I came out there was a line of bloody people, and in front of them I had to hope back in my wheelchair and wheel myself out - so freaking embarrassing!!! I was so tempted to jump out and say - it's a miracle, I can walk!!! Ha ha.


Then Harry pushed me all the way back through the car park to our car.  Just so you know the new Ikea car park has no sidewalk or pedestrian access? So with the traffic Harry pushed me all the way back. Andrew had the trolley, Holly stood on the trolley and Harry was determined to push me the whole way, you should have seen the looks we got, the beeps and a lot of double takes!!!
I am SO over this pregnancy ... luckily only 5.5 weeks to go!! Fingers crossed it goes faster than the past 6 months!

Morning Funny

We had to laugh this morning ...
At about 7.30 this morning Holly called out from her bedroom - MUUUM ... MUUUUUM.
We called back to her to come into our room. She stopped calling out, but didn't come in.
This is totally not like her, she never stays in bed in the morning and loves to jump in with us. About 5 minutes later she came running in. I asked her, "Why were you calling out?" she replied "I was waiting for you to bring me breakfast in bed!" laughing I said, "what made you think I was bringing you breaky in bed honey?" "I stopped calling you cause I remembered it was just a dream!" Funny little monkey xx

Another Holly funny ...

After asking Holly why she was carrying on like a pork chop the other day, she loudly declared; "I'm only Human Mum!".
What do you say to that?

Butterflies and Boogers!

I just had to share with you a conversation that transpired the other morning.

Holly woke up at 7am, which is fine, however, ourfamilyfreeman does not rise until 7.30am. She stood beside our bed and Andrew had his back to her ...

Holly: Daddy I'm hungry, can you get me porridge?
Daddy: (ignores Holly hoping she will go back to bed - wishful thinking!)
Holly: Daddy, I'm really hungry
Daddy: (continues to ignore her)
Holly: Daddy quick, look, there's a butterfly on my finger!!!!
Daddy: (rolls straight over to look)
Holly: Tricked ya, its just a booger - Now can I have my porridge???
Daddy: (not impressed that he had been conned by a 3 year old, but had to laugh!!)
