Another 2009 Round Up Post.

December 31, 2009

2009…. Sitting here, staring down the barrel of new years, I’m thinking that I didn’t even come close to achieving this year’s theme. 2009 The Year of Balance. Oh how I suck at balance. There is nothing at all balanced about my life. Balance was a dumb idea. But it wasn’t all bad. Looking back [...]

Boy or Girl?

December 30, 2009

We are not finding out the sex of this baby. The Baldy Boy desperately wants to know, but I’m the one doing the puking and peeing and lugging around of the beast so I get final say. We are not finding out. We didn’t find out with any of the others either. Despite the fact [...]

Christmas… and all that.

December 27, 2009

Christmas Day was busy but lovely…. Of course there were presents…. lots of presents. The Barbies have multiplied… ..so have the trains… ..and a budding Chemist was born. And then it was Boxing Day…. Boxing Day, a whole lot of nothing with just us… bliss. Hope you are all enjoying some holiday bliss. Related Posts:Is [...]

In Lieu of a Christmas Card…

December 23, 2009

Instead of a Christmas card, this year we sent this email to friends and family… Don’t expect a Christmas card this year. There will be no fancy animated emails, or gorgeous kid photos or even braggy Christmas letters. Life is too crazy and I have been too busy growing this…. Baby number four is officially [...]

Making a List…

December 22, 2009

If I keep saying it over and over again and writing it down a few times maybe I will remember all the things I want to get done between now and Thursday lunch time when our guests arrive…. – Clean the house (and that is one HUGE task let me tell you) – Put away [...]

The Big Nutcracker Event.

December 20, 2009

One more sleep until the Big Day…. No not Christmas. This is far more exciting than Christmas! Well it is, if you are a six year old girl who is totally ballet mad and has been desperate for this day to arrive for weeks. Tomorrow, Nanny Pickle and I are taking the Twinadoes to see [...]

Hanging At the Mall.

December 17, 2009

I went to one of the big shopping centres today. On my own. We used to live really close to this shopping centre and I used to go there ALOT. I used to take the girls there, strapped into the twin pram, when they were really small. Grabbing a few hours of something between the [...]

Wordless Wednesday

December 16, 2009

This is my photo for this month’s photo challenge at pickleberrypop – a little bit of our Christmas Tree. Is it just me or does this angel look a tad fed up with hanging around on our tree all day and night?

Lots of rain + some sunshine = bucket loads of strawberries! Over the past few weeks we have had strawberries coming out of our ears.
