A party in the park

Our boys ... a long afternoon in the park for Gingers 1st birthday.

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

A day at the park

We had a lovely day today, with two nice long park visits.
Harry discovered he loves sand.

These two monkeys have the funniest fascination with cleaning their teeth! Its so funny, if Harry disappears, you can almost put money on it that he is in the bathroom brushing his teeth!

Testing out the Hammock swing we bought in Bali.

Give him a ladder and he will climb!

If it is less than two foot tall, Harry will climb it! Our house has turned into a gigantic climbing fun park as far as Harry Pie is concerned. He is into EVERYTHING!!! We are seeing a MASSIVE difference in boys vs girls. Holly was always quite content to sit and play and troddle around following me. Child locks were optional we and didn't need to move too much stuff. However, we now have child locks on everything, all stools and tiny seating have been removed, and all bathroom doors must be closed. I caught him sitting on the table on the deck last week. Nice.

The sun has finally come out!

soaking up the much missed rays.

NUDIE RIDE!

Happy 4th Birthday Ame!!!

Decorating the birthday cupcakes.

This was such a great idea as a party game, and it kept the kids entertainted for quite a while.

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 .....
