Halloween!
Not a holiday that we have ever celebrated before (apart from giving random kids lollies that knock on the door). This year the kids in our court decided that they would trick or treat, they are all around the same age, which is gorgeous, and they all know each other, so at 6.30pm they dressed up and knocked on each door in the court. Brendan, our trusty babysitter walked around with them which was very cute, he looked like the pied piper!

Wrong? You decide.
Yesterday Liz took Holly and Harry to the library for story time. Holly took out a dozen or so books and proudly bought them home to show me. Last night after our girls night (Andrew's away and Harry had a sleepover with Grandma) we curled up in bed and started to read the new pile of books. The first one we read was lovely, the second one however was a little different. We have a few baby books floating around our house - nice books that explain that Mummy is having a baby and the excitement that goes with it. This particular book was called "Our Baby". It started off quite innocent, a few pages it explains the mother is having a home birth (also quite fine), but then half way through, I turn the page and this is what we are looking at ........
I was not expecting to see this - I don't really have a problem with it, Holly is quite geared up with information on where baby's come from and how they arrive into the world, but when you are not expecting these images .... well my reaction was to laugh my arse off ... it seriously caught me by surprise ... yes I know, very immature response! Then this .....
and then we finish off with a nice explanation of how the Mummy deliverers the placenta and the other siblings all crowd around it to have a look ....
I'm sure it is perfectly acceptable - I certainly know my cousin - who has had a home birth and her other kids watched - and is studying like a madwoman to become a midwife - would think this is great ....
Me ? .... the Jury is still out.
Although I still laugh when I see the pictures!

Musical beds
Andrew is in Sydney all this week, so Grandma Liz has come to help out. Holly kindly gave up her bed last night so Grandma didn't have to sleep on the couch. Holly was very excited about sleeping in the top bunk of Harry's bed for the first time. I wasn't too sure how it would go as she hasn't ever been too fussed about the idea of sleeping up the top. I went in the check on them before bed and this is how I found them!
Too cute, they did actually end up sleeping like this for the whole night. They were up at 7am instead of the normal 8am, but not a bad effort for a squishy nights sleep!

Dress ups
I know Harry looks like he is being held to ransom, however this is actually his BIG smile! Holly and Harry had so much fun the other day pulling everything out of Hollys waredrobe and dressing up - Harry is wearing a dress, leggings, pink converse, a flower scarf and Hollys coat ... and the firemans hat to top it off!
SOOOO cute - I could just eat these two up!
iPhone photos
Daddy has had our camera this week, so we had to rely on the phone - terrible photos, but gorgeous moments!
Off to another fairy/princess party!
A sleepover at the Coopers
We have the most amazing Aunty and Uncle - Aunty Gabe and Uncle Karl let us have a sleepover last night to give Mamma and Daddy a break and sleep in - storing up the sleep for when our little brother or sister arrives!
Dinner for 6 anyone?
As always their favourite activity anywhere they go is dress ups!
I love that my kids love to dress up.

Lunch at Aunty Gabes house
We had a lovely lunch at Aunty Gabe's on Sunday, Harry progressively added a piece of clothing to his outfit during the day - and this is how he ended up!!!
LOVE!
These two play so well together now and have so much fun, we can't see what #3 brings to the mix!
32 weeks
32 weeks and counting - hopefully only 5 weeks to go (fingers crossed I will be induced at 37 weeks!)
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
