Not all bad

My birthday was not all bad… in fact it was filled with great stuff.

Cakes and sushi.

Presents and cuddles.

Paper fans and silliness.

Princesses, computer whizzes and crocodile hunters, and NO DUMMIES!

Muski lay sleeping in my arms as I moused around the net looking for distraction at the end of a lovely day. He made a funny noise. I leant over him and looked down at his sleeping face to see if he was ok. He half opened one eye….
Then a huge fountain of vomit shot […]

Clever Clogs!

I just love the way my girls think… the way all little kids think.
They are so logical, so practical, there are no exceptions to the rule… if they know one thing, then another similar thing must work in the same way, and are called the same thing.

52 Grateful Blessings on Fridays?

Towards the end of last year I started writing ‘Grateful Friday’ posts, just to remind myself of all the little things in my life that I am thankful to have. This year I’d like to continue in this vain but I have also been inspired by the idea of taking photographs as well.

2008, the Year of Organisation!

I have officially dubbed 2008 the Year of Organisation in our house - or Organise ‘08 as it shall hence forth be known.
The reason for the sudden urge to get organised is largely motivated by the Twinadoes starting kinder (preschool).This means that two mornings a week we have to be up, dressed and out of […]

Zucchini and Peaches and Apricots - oh my!

We headed out for a day trip today - to Nagambie. Of course we took the long way round via, Harcourt to check out the scenery and drool over some of the gorgeous old farm houses. We ate a picnic lunch by Nagambie lake and then headed off to find a spot where the […]

Who needs friends when you have relatives like these…

The Twinadoes got a trampoline for Christmas.
Ah heck, who am I kidding.. The Baldy Boy and I bought the biggest trampoline we could get because we really wanted one! Both of us have since admitted that as kids we always wanted a trampoline, a really big one, and since we aren’t lacking on space we […]

A new kind of fairy…

There is one family trait that every member of our family has. We can fart.
When the girls were only days old, lying in their isolettes in NICU with machines helping them to breath, being ‘fed’ via an IV, tiny, helpless little babies, even then, they could fart.
I remember a day in NICU when the family […]

So here we are!

Hello!
Welcome to my new blog, complete with it’s own snazzy new domain name and word press installation. If you are new around here then feel free to have a read back over some old rambley posts (eventually I will put a list of my fav posts in my sidebar to make that a bit easier). […]

Last Minute Me!

Sometimes my life is like a bad sit com. One of the really cheesy types where you know what pathetically horrible fate is going to befall the characters before it happens, it is that predictable, but you still laugh, half heatedly, anyway ….
Today was Mickey’s funeral. 10:30am right over the other side of the city […]
