Toothy grin


And check out the rosy cheek!
It's been a while, but i seem to be in a bit of a blog funk, sorry. I usually think of plenty to write on here (often in the early hours of the morning), but once i'm on here i get the 'can't be bothered attitude'.

Anyway little update. Two more sleeps till my biggest baby turns 5! So as of Monday she will be a big school girl! Last weekend Mum took her to Wellington (Plane and train trip included) to see the Dora show, which she loved! I missed her heaps though. Almost cried when she got on the plane. Whatever i am going to be like when she wants to leave home or worse go on an OE when she's older. Sleepless nights for Mums don't end when they've outgrown the baby stage, that's for sure.

We had friends down from New Plymouth last week and their energetic 2yr old. It was so nice to see them. It had been nearly two years since we last saw them. Pity the weather wasn't nicer, but we managed a few days out and about having fun. Mostly it was just a great chance to catch up and kinda to meet/get to know Angus who was only 3mnths when we last saw him.

The girls have both had a nasty coughing virus (still have a bit of the cough) and now Ryan has come down with it too. He cries almost every time he coughs and i have to admit it even sounds painful. Poor wee mite, but other than snotty noses this is his first real bug, so he has done pretty well to make it to 8 1/2mnths. Breaks my heart to see him so miserable though. He has a croaky voice too, which is kinda cute, but would rather see him well.

Daryl went to Melbourne last week for work. Hmmm what kind of work has you drinking from about 3pm each day, LOL! He had a great time!!

That's about all i can think of right now, but will try to do better from now on.

The kids updated


This is about as good as it gets getting a photo of all three. Charlotte and Ryan in this picture are looking at me and if you look closely you can see my arm holding Maggie in place, LOL!

Terry Fator - Amazing

If you don't watch Americas Got Talent (and i can kinda understand if you don't), you do need to watch on Mon night at 8.30pm. There is a man who does the most amazing ventroliquist act (seriously awesome, don't roll your eyes). I've just had a sneak peak on the net and he wins (sorry if i ruined it for you). The final is shown here next week. He does voice impressions of singers with him singing and his puppets and it is seriously awesome. I would love to go see his show!! Watch it!

Charottes' first school visit


Charlotte all dressed in her uniform ready for her first school visit last Friday.
She was very shy and cuddled into me when we arrived and wouldn't sit on the mat without me, but after a few songs and sitting down to draw a picture she then said
'you can go now, Mum'. Happy as. 1 1/2hr visit in the morning and then the same again in the afty while they talk to the parents about what happens at school.

How to keep baby quiet while we eat tea


Ryan loves his choccie chippy bikkie!
