Happy 5th Birthday Holly!
Happy Birthday Princess!
We wish you all the very best things in life -
We love you to the moon and back
xx
Today Holly Turned 5. I swear that she woke up and decided she was going to act 10 years older! We all had pancakes for breakfast together (Bill Grangers ricotta pancakes recipe - delish!), Holly was so sweet opening her presents, we gave her a watch which she had been hinting at, and Harry gave her a pair of shoes, and Lucy a book. Then Holly, Harry, Lucy and I met Grandma at the hospital where I had my 4 week check up (all positive), We then met Mia, Indie and Piper at the Tivoli Theatre for this seasons pantomime - There was an old woman who lived in a shoe! It was very funny and we laughed and sang and ate fairy bread for just over an hour.
Grandma and Pa came for dinner. I asked Holly what she would like for dinner - completely her choice, and she chose chicken drumsticks, salad and chips, and cupcakes for desert! She then spend the rest of the evening entertaining us with tap dancing, river dancing and singing! All in all a "great birthday" in her words.
Holly has been coming out with some cracking comments lately.
Today her word of the day was Frustrated. She must have used it, in context, at least 8 time, just on the way home from the theatre!
The other day very innocently, after being at the pool with Grandma, she said, "Did you know Grandmas boobs point down .... but yours point up? " - luckily Grandma has a thick skin and hopefully won't mind me repeating that one!
On Monday when our gorgeous cleaner Anna was here she headed out the front for a cigarette (Anna not Holly!) Holly quizzed her on where she was going, Anna reluctantly said she was going to smoke, Holly shocked but not missing a beat said " they are really bad for you"
Anna - replied with a spiel along the lines of, never smoke, they are addictive, don't ever touch them,
Holly - after thinking about that then said "So why do they sell them?"
Anna -Money, the government makes lots of money from them
ME - Holly you should write to the Prime Minister and tell her to stop selling them!
Holly - Ok Mummy, I will send Julia Gillard a letter and Tell her ..... she then stopped to think for a minute and said ... "Mummy and Daddy like Tony Abbot (not quite true!), but I really like Julia Gillard, so I think I will send her a letter!
Im still not sure how she became a Labour voter???

9 weeks old ...
I am a little early. Tomorrow Lucy is 9 weeks old. Today was my first day at home with the 3 kids alone **AGHHH***
No it really wasn't that bad, I did have help, just not Andrew. He went back to work today after 4 weeks off. All I remember this morning was a dust cloud as he sped off to work in record speeds... he was REALLY glad to be going back! I think he would agree that a House-Husband is a pretty tough gig! He did a stella job and I was sure the kids were going to whine all day asking where he was, but I think everyone was glad to be back in routine. Miss Lulu is getting very strong and looks like a little turtle when she lifts her head, she loves having a bath and LOVES her rocking chair. She is still feeding 4 hourly day and night, but doesn't cry much and is most happy when being held. Fingers crossed the night sleeps start getting a little longer!

Lucy Lu - 8 weeks old today ...
Miss Lucy is 8 weeks today, time really flies. I still can't quite believe how much has happened in 8 weeks.
I have one more week of not being able to hold my baby girl, and then she is all mine!
She is very alert and takes us all in, this little monkey has a lot to contend with, when she is up she is smothered in kisses and Holly especially begs us constantly to hold her!
Lucy and I went for a walk today while Grandma took Holly and Harry to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Aunty Pol pointed out today that in 90% of our photos Harry and Holly are playing dress ups! I think our dress up box is the one thing in the playroom that is used at least once a day. They both LOVE playing dress ups, and we completely encourage it, Harry especially at the moment has the most vivid imagination!
Holly commentating on ABC2 the other morning! This is the microphone Santa bought that she had been asking for for weeks! Let me just say, she loves the sound of her own voice!

Mama's first walk since May!
Mama took us on a little walk to the park today, the first walk she has been able to do since May last year! How crazy is that! Lucy came to and we managed a reasonable 30 minute walk!
Piper and Holly
Uncle Marc and Harry
