Alien within.

I am just trying to think of any other time in a persons life when their insides move without them doing anything?
It really is such a weird feeling…. and interestingly one does feel very different to two, well at this stage anyway.

It had been a loooong day!

We went to Castlemaine yesterday for a HUGE auction and clearing sale. We sort of underestimated how long it would take to get to the bits we were interested in (well that Si wanted to bid for anyway) and how cranky our children would be. So it was a looooong long day in more ways […]

Friends Far and Near

It’s been a normal week really around here… busy but not busy.
I just bought home two very cranky and whiney girls. As we got to the front gate they were both crying for Daddy who had already left for work and I figured it was going to be a long few hours between then and […]

Intentions…

One of my goals for the year was to spend more time ‘doing stuff’ with the girls.
I berate myself about this a fair bit. I have a degree in early childhood ed, I taught preschool for almost 10 years, I have hundreds of suitable three year old activities stored away somewhere in this brain, I […]

The Finger…

The Evil Finger of Shame has made a big resurgence in this house over the past week or two. I thought we’d pretty much taken the sting out of it by making it into a bit of a joke… at one stage it only came out accompanied by a big grin and a giggle which […]

It seems a bit odd to be posting this now, since we will have another, hopefully better, image by the end of next week. But Sif reminded me in a comment she made that I hadn’t shared any scan photos yet… so I thought I would.
I’ve already had way more than my fair […]
