Some school holiday snaps

 Week one of the school holidays, before we all got sick, we went to the movies to see the Lion King (still one of my favourites) and then had a go on the big trampolines - the kids not Mamma!

 Harry loved it, however I couldn't get a proper photo of him in the air -  he kept squealing "HIGHER" to the man!!

 and afterwards he crashed on my bed when he went to get his teddy!

Holly and I picked Bella up from the groomers the other day - Holly thought it was hilarious that Bella sat in Harry's seat the whole way home!

A sleepover at the Staffords

 Last week in the school holidays, Holly spend 24 hours at the Staffords.  They had such a good time and Holly has asked every day if she can go back for another one! Its very  boring at home these days with a Mamma who can barely move .... Thanks Aunty Katie xx

Footy Day at Kinder

A day at Puffing Billy with Daddy

  a couple of weekends ago, Daddy took us to Puffing Billy! It was so much fun, we rode the train all the way up the mountain - We have the worlds best Daddy xx

Holly learning to spell

This was taken a little while ago, I  have been meaning to put it up.  

She is such a clever little chicken and is so close to reading!!!

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!

Frizzy hair!

As any girl with dead straight hair knows, the only thing you every dream to have is curly or frizzy hair! Holly, since about the age of 18 months old has loved getting frizzy hair, today was no exception.

Teddy Blue has a bath!

 Yesterday Harry gave Teddy Blue (his favourite teddy) and Little Teddy a bath. He was so excited to be in charge of bathing him, which was good because he had his heart set on giving him a shower!

 We can't go any where with out Harry kissing things, recently its the stone wombat at kinder in the garden!

Paper chains

 Yesterday Holly and I were on a mission to make paper chains. So when Harry went to bed, we set ourselves up on the couch and off we went!  Holly did the whole lot herself, she folded the paper to get the creases, cut all the strips out, lined up all the sticky tape, and then put them all together.  It was really fun, and now her room is bursting with more colour with chains all around!

A nice relaxing afternoon activity.

Out and about

 on our way to swimming this morning

 An afternoon of painting



 Holly was using Harry as her very own baby doll the other day, she put him to sleep and made him stay there.

 Another haircut with the fabulous Betty

Holly was so excited to take me to the park last week to show me how she climbs up and over the jungle gym, such a brave little girl

Giggling Harry

A visit from Aunty Nickee

 Aunty Nickee popped in last night on her way home to show us her new chickens - they were so CUTE!

 But if they turn out to be roosters, they will be chicken parmigiana - no cock-a-doodle-dooing at 5am at Nickees house!

 Harry thought Nickee was really going to eat one! Only kidding - he was actually a bit scared of them? Not like Harry at all, but he definitely kept his distance.

Nickee and Holly playing with her Mac and the green screen - they made Holly fly!

26 Weeks

26 weeks - this was a couple of weeks ago, 28 weeks on Monday and officially entering the 3rd trimester!

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!

 standing over the ducted heating vent

 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!!
