and Happy Birthday to Aunty Nickee too!!!

Aunty Gabe and Pipie


Little Gussy, looking all grown up

It's not legal in Melbourne ....

to marry your cousin ...
but Holly and Chilli apparently tied the knot last week!

C.U.T.E!

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?

Harry's first batch of bicci's

Yesterday Harry and I made a big batch of Anzac Bicci's. Harry seems to love cooking. He loves to watch me cook anything ,and really seems to watch intently. He stands at the play kitchen for ages most days pretending to mix and stir. He was so cute cooking, every time I put an ingredient in the bowl, he started to stir.
He was most excited though when he knew he could eat the mixture

Poor little monkey has just got over Hand Foot and Mouth Disease ....

He is back to his gorgeous self and starting to perk up.

Backyard antics

Harry found the mud bath at Aunty Uyen's today
and made the most of it

before I threw him in the shower!

Seriously, I thought tantrums came with the "twos" not "ones"?? This is Harry's latest party trick. If things don't go his way, this is the outcome. Luckily they don't last too long!

A date with Betty

Today we met with Betty. The lady who is the second best hairdresser in the whole entire world! She did a stella job on both mine, and Harry's hair this afternoon. Not only is she very talented and sought after hairstylist for tiny tots, she has a very glam studio full of plasmas showing The Wiggles and Hi5, and a total fit out of toys .... we want to go back next week just for a play!!!

Mamma's memories

I never want to forget what what my babies look like when they are asleep. So this post is more for my memory than your viewing xx

Mother of the Week goes to .....

Our Mamma! **HOORAY**

For wondering all morning why there was dirt next to the hallway cupboard and then realizing 2 hours later (when Harry went to bed) that it was in fact an old cigar. Harry found it in a box and had chewed the top off it!! Nice ... and very deserving of the award!

Yes the category has been revised to Mother of the Week, from Mother of the Year. We thought it was a little unfair that this award was so few and far between. Our Mamma should be acknowledged and recognized more regularly, for her dedication to her wonderful work, as our Mamma .....

Besties at play

A whole day with Oscar ... we were in a 3 year old wonderland!
searching for whales and sharkes on the pirate ship

and some jellyfish

Lake Mountain

We loaded up the car (with enough clothes to last us a week!) and headed up to Marysville. It was the first time we have visited again since those catastrophic fires almost 2 years ago. The place is almost unrecognisable. We visited our friends, who are rebuilding. Only 19 of the 400+ homes in the area were saved.

We then layered up in our ski gear and headed up to lake mountain. Holly love it - a hell of a lot more than last time we took her! Harry was not so sure, but played around with us for a couple of hours. We finished with a pub meal in Healsville and pulled up at home with two completely zonked little Freemans! A successful trip to the snow!

Harry Pie was just too damn cute in this snowsuit! He reminded us of Maggie Simpson!
Finding his feet on the snow
Some serious tobogganing

My first snowman!! He even has a carrot for a nose!

Although snowmen and snowballs are fun, eating the snow was much more fun!

Mamma and Dadda just kept saying to watch out for yellow snow???

We flew down this hill. Mamma lost control and we went on a wild tobogganing adventure!

I worked out quite early that it was much easier getting to the top this way!

All done and time to head off the mountain ... see you next winter!!!

Happy Fathers Day Dadda!

We love you to the moon and back.


Every day should be Fathers Day for an awesome Dad like you xx

Sleeping Beauty

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!!)
