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!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY!

Daddy for a day ...

Holly all dressed up as Daddy! Coat, tie, badge, shoes and all!!

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!

 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!!

Star of the week!

 Holly has been counting down the sleeps for the past week for today to arrive.  This week she was star of the week.  She had a special chair to sit on, she got to talk ALL about herself to the class, show baby photos and family photos, distribute the lunch place mats and be in the spotlight for the week.  So far she has loved it.  But that wasn't all she was counting down the sleeps for, today Andrew did kinder duty with her! She was SO excited and has been waiting for almost a month for today to arrive!  He got to see her do her spiel to the class (which included telling everyone lettus was her favourite food??? and the Zebra was her favourite animal???)  She quite easily recited her phone numbers and our address.  Andrew stayed for the day and hung out in the playground with her and her friends - Holly was in her element!  Then then disappeared for a couple of hours and went out for lattes and cake! A very special Father and Daughter day.

Harry Pie

This boy is just too cute for words.  We cannot go anywhere with out him finding something to kiss and cuddle!  He is now sleeping in Holly's bed for his day sleep - which he love and was his choice.  His bed is on order, so its good practice!  Luckily he loves his sleep and doesn't try to get out and tells me to "Go Mummy" and practically pushes me out of the bed after a few stories!

23 weeks

 My  belly last week at 23 weeks

 I resorted to taking the "belly" shots myself, my good SLR is a bit big for Holly to hold properly so after a few attempts she gave up and told me to do it myself! Fair enough! Although while I was trying to take them, she came back with the other camera and this is what I found them doing!!

 Pretending to be little birds in a nest!
