Fun in the sun.

Well the kids got a slip and slide from their Aunty's and Uncle for Christmas. Thank you so much!! 
With a nice hot day and a bit of water, they had the time of their lives. 
 I tried to make a clothesline marquee, which seemed to do the trick.

 Such a beautiful, wonderful, special, special day with the kids.

Jimmy has a sweet tooth!

Jimmy at his friend Piper's birthday party (the same day I met Hugh Jackman) hahaha! He REALLY enjoyed the cake.




              So too did little Jaeda       
And birthday girl Piper.

Mike, No need to rush home.

I've got my new friend HUGH JACKMAN to keep me company. Just kidding I wouldn't swap you for anyone in the whole world! Brad Pitt would come close....no no no I'm kidding!! I was lucky enough to spot Hugh at the park and I got a pic with him.
I know he would get that everywhere but he was great to have a photo. 
My sister is so funny, she said I should've grabbed his butt!!! Can you imagine his reaction. Hahaha that would've been priceless.

Nine Months in- Nine Months out.

9 months in.
Nine months in...

9 months out.
...and nine out.
 From a blogger in Paris called Smallesthings. It's a great blog. The growing tummy is always a beautiful thing to see.

Free People

Stumbled across this shop. It's called Free People and they have some really unique clothes, accessories, underwear, shoes, jewellery... you name  it. I think it's a U.S. site but they do have post to Aus.
Not necessarily a cheap shop but your sure to find something you'll treasure.

Veggies

Just a recent shot of veggie patch, the sunflowers are going crazy. Also Stevie was the photographer for this shot. Thanks Rabbit.
And Stevie with our beans, so so yummy. I haven't cooked any yet because the kids just eat them as soon as they've been picked. Mmm Mmmm
And these were our first strawberries.

Anyone seen this boy?

 Last seen kayaking off Ricketts Point.

He was in his element.

Time for a new bed.


We are so over due for a bed, this makes me dreamy just looking at it.
Way too sterile but a lovely light room.
And this is lovely too. ahhh

This Dream Home bedroom is truly dreamy.

Boulder Feature


Wow I've always loved polished concrete floors and would love to have them, not a good idea with kids but this is awesome. Invite nature into your living room.

Michael asked me months ago to make Louie (our dog) a bed. So with a little fabric and some old cushions....

 He may have to fight for it!!

Stevie had her Kinder Concert the other night and it was so gorgeous. It was really well done and a lot of time and effort put in, I was really impressed.
The kids were all great and had a ball! And it was Mikes last night here so I am glad he got to see it.
Next stop School. Where has the time gone :(


Like Father like Son.

Need I say anything, Mike and Jimmy being adorable!!
