A Few Good Links…

Things have been some what crazy this week!

I had a huge design deadline I absolutely had to make (and I did!) and then there is school stuff and various other kid stuff, and getting the baby weighed (he gained back to his birth weight and is Mr Average all round… how nice!) and taking a shower once in a while, not to mention food and sleep requirements. So yeah.. crazy crazy around the pickle farm.

And yet, I still seem to spend an awful lot of time sitting on my bum with a baby propped on my shoulder (and spewing down my back)… so I put that time to good use you know and spend it clicking around the interwebs.

So here’s a few good links from my baby spew moments…

I am totally in love and incredibly envious of the gorgeous lush green children’s garden over at A Handmade Childhood. I’m already making plans for spring seed buying and planting!

The Adult Privilege Check list at Shut Up Sit Down is a very thought provoking read in deed… not sure my brain is up for such deep thinking at present but I can’t stop pondering this.

I think these nifty paper garlands would make awesome christmas decorations.

And I want to make this hat for Quatro… actually one for each child would be good, if I could just get my hands on some wool jumpers….

Oh and one day I am going to make one of these awesome super sized marble paintings (as seen at Let The Children Play) to hang on our wall!

And if you happen to be a digi scrapper (or would like to be!) you should pop on over to pickleberrypop because it is our fourth birthday and there are lots of goodies to share! Almost the whole shop is 30% off and there are loads of lolly bags (grab bags) full of great stuff for only $3.50 US… but only until August 3rd!
This is my lolly bag…get it while you can!

And of course, it’s Friday! Time to flog ya blog with the lovely new hostess Lori from Random Ramblings of a Stay at Home Mum.

Happy Weekend everyone!

Repeat After Me….

Sometimes my words come out of my children’s mouths…. and it’s rather…. disconcerting.

Muski;
“For goodness sake!!”
“Holy Crap!!”
“Actually…”

Zoe;
“Seriously…. no I’m really serious…”
“Big buggery bollocks!”

Izzy;
“SHIT… I mean shoot.”

Thank goodness the little one doesn’t speak!

How To Name Your Baby…

When in doubt, the best thing to do is let the ponies decide…

Take the three names you all agree on. Allocate a number to each of those names and then use the Pony Trouble game (with the popamatic bubble) and see which number comes up. To be fair, make it a best of five game….

That is how you name your son.

According to my husband that is… lucky for him the right name won.

The fourth child…

You really know you are the fourth child when….

When your dummy first belonged to your big brother and in times of dire emergency you are expected to give it back to him for a little while!

When your mother comes to check on you to make sure you are not dead because surely no one can sleep through the yelling and screaming that is happening only inches from your head.

When everyone spends hours trying to decide which of your siblings you most look like.

When your name is put to a family vote… or possibly a twitter poll.

When your mother calls ‘dunking you in the bath between your two sisters and your brother’ for half a minute a decent wash.

When you miss out on cuddles because everyone is arguing over who’s turn it is to hold you so your mother says in exasperation “fine… no one gets to hold the baby then!”

In other news….

It’s Flog ya Blog Friday and it has a new home this week! Head on over to Random Ramblings of a Stay At Home Mum for some great reads!
