Things we do to our kiddos

Kanga was delightful as our little forest fairy

Kookaburra was something special as our water sprite

Hey, so I'm feeling nostalgic tonight and thought I'd share some pics from '06 when I dressed ours boys and myself up for the Mary Poppins parade. Just a bit biased but we think our little treasures are so precious... They were 5 and 1 at the time and reflecting on it now they were sooo patient : ) The little costumes they are wearing were actually recycled pillow cases... some scissors, glue (i looove glue!), sparkly thread and glitter spray later and a visit to the discount jewelery at Dimmeys and we have two little story book characters, a small bit of tangible fantasy in our home

BTW we did win a prize, yay! for us : )

Our little Aussie Bogans

Bogan Koala cooking

I have been lazy and have had the boys hair cut by the barber for months now but we decided the terrible do's had to end and visited my favourite hair salon where RJ charmed all the girls. Here we have our little Aussie Bogan with side burns and dodgy duck tail (Liam has been in bed ALL day and was not well enough for this expedition).....

Post Bogan!!!

*Sob* I have found my little sweetheart, my baby boy again... yay!

By the way RJ is NOT shy! The hairdresser was having a conversation with our little charmer when she asked him if he enjoyed looking at the books (the ones the hairdressers have out for you to peruse new styles whilst you wait). Well RJ had been looking at the fashionista runway hairstyles where the hair is BIG and CRAZY looking, so with this in mind Ronan said he enjoyed looking at the "Hair Monsters" a lot!!!!!

Our week in pictures, enjoy : )

RJ loves the little Polliwog and yes friends they really are tadpoles and NOT toads... *sigh*

Our big baby sleeping off his illness and has spent most of today asleep. Please pray for his good health, we really miss it!

Ronan is meticulously bathing their very muddy *figs* - that's what they've been calling their cars and I am clueless as to the why

Liam preparing paper daisies he has grown to be dried and turned into bookmarks and cards

Our clever and strong little boy rode his bike all the way around Ululah!!! Watch the video below. He ended up going so fast I was jogging beside him just in case but there was only once where he came close to falling. We are so proud and just a little bit excited about Ronan growing so independent.

Our boys and I love the horses that live at the end of the road here and the horses loooove the carrots the boys bring.

Look Mummy!!!! Strawberries!!! Ronan is unbelievably good at sharing these tasty treats and loves them as much as the occasional mulberry he gets from our minuscule mulberry tree. Can hardly wait for them to turn black and has been known to eat them green! yuk!

A bit of art and craft for RJ. He turned this little box into a car, complete with wheels and lights in the correct colours.

Go Baby, Go!

I'm sick of being sick : (

Well, I'm a terrible blogger. Every time I start something happens lots of little "emergencies" or I just run out of time!

Our bigger, small one has been so sick this week with a middle ear infection, such a common childhood illness yet we've never experienced this. Its awful to have a child crying 'OWwww!' and feeling so frustrated because not much is helping to sooth him. But he went to the Doc's yesterday and he is, I'm glad to say, well on the mend : )

I feel like I've forgotten how it is for us all to be 100% well and every year, friends and I all seem to be bemoaning how the illnesses are worse than the year before. Does anyone else experience this or is it just those of us with munchkins?

Well, I hope everyone is well and if not... mend soon

Peace and love
JM
