A Busy day

My little darlings.
Jasper and new buddies,Luke and Ella...ella is SO cute!




Jasper had a lovely first day at his daycare,his teacher's Sam and Rachel seem very approachable and chatty.He did not eat much or sleep much but that's to be expected on his first day as it's all so new.He did enjoy the puppet show that they had today.He was glad to go home though and happy to see me and Ruby and all his familiar things...a busy day and he was exhausted tonight.


It was cool enough tonight for the kids to wear winter PJs...I scored jassie's buzz lightyear pyjamas for $1...what a bargain.I took a photo of my two cuties in their PJs and I love the way Roo is staring so lovingly at her brother in the photo.

Boy stuff...

This is jasper after completing a tower with his blocks...I was happy because his usual idea of blocks is to knock them down or throw them!,but to see him actually achieve this was fun...he was trying to say blocks,although it sounded like"Bla!"
Jas also likes nothing better than getting absolutely filthy at the moment,him and his trusty dumptruck!.He even gets his nappy full of dirt!

Baby on the move...


Well,I turned around this morning and Ruby was gone!...I found her at the end of the hallway,she had crawled all that way.I guess I really better have my eyes and ears tuned in aye!

Bit of a boring day today,I had alot of errands to do this morning and I was a tinsy bit anxious driving again after my driving mishap last week,especially as there was lightening overhead as I was driving(didn't help the nerves any),but ofcourse It was alright.My brother AJ and the hubby did a great job fixing the car up,thanks guys!

Our bubby girl is crawling!




Ruby started crawling today..we are very proud and kind of astounded how quickly her first ten-months have gone!.I now have two mobile kiddies to keep an eye on...yikes.


In other news,dave had the opportunity to vist Jassie's daycare this afternoon.Jas begins next week for 2 days a week.The centre is only literally three houses up from our house so it's very convenient...we couldn't get over how confident jasper was,just straight in there,he RAN up the balance beam! and went and sat himself in the middle of a group of little boys who were playing in the sandpit,who quickly turned around and whacked him with their toy rakes(not hard or anything!)but then they all turned around and started playing together?..little kids are so weird sometimes like that.

David's Birthday


Dave's 33rd birthday started off at 4:30 this morning(the crazy time dave gets up for work at the mo),he opened his presents..amarula chocolates and golfing mag from his mum and dad,CD from his sister,small box of goodies from my mum and photo album and belgium choccies from his gorgeous wife...so,thanks all for the thought.
When he got home from work we had chocolate mud cake to celebrate...and jasper sure enjoyed it!(see photo)

The damage


Started off well....

Today started off well.Rose and I and our little boys went to the mall to get the boys hair cut,well,Ethan anyway as Jas wanted none of it.Ethan looked very cute with his fringe trimmed.After,we had a nice brunch at Toledo cafe...croisants again!

And then IT happened....

We were on our way home,it had been raining and I slid out on the road and we went up a curb and into a pole,flattening it!.We were all ok,just abit shaken.Can't say the same for our car tho!.Fortunately I was not traveling that fast when it happened or else it could have been a different story.

I will post a photo of the damage when my computer let's me...

Back to Playgroup

So off we went to thursday morning playgroup.It was another good turn out and I must say they are a lovely bunch of people.
Jasper had a blast although as per normal at these things he had to contend with slightly bigger kids(two 3-year-old boys)who had to dominate...but jas just handled it in his usual no fuss way,which is;smile and take back his toy anyway.He loved the ride-on cars,even if he did keep getting stuck in them!.At morning tea he had ants-in-his-pants and kept getting up and stealing raisens off other little kids plates...he clearly loves raisens.
Ruby was very happy and wore a big smile for most of the morning.It is so great to see her with other wee ones her age.She watched her brother running around and I could see her wanting to play too.She had a huge sleep when we got home.
A fun morning.

A giggle...

One of the best things i love about Australia is the birdlife,fantastic variety and so colourful.We got such a kick out of seeing a Kookaburra in our backyard recently and I'm always amused by the antics of the cheeky parrots and cockatoos...which are at their most noisiest at this time of evening,heck..they just make me smile.

So do my kids,an endless giggle.This afternoon I was outside doing abit of weeding and cleaning up and I look over my shoulder to find one child has discarded his nappy and is riding his trike happily bare-bottomed around the yard and my other child is on her tummy desperately trying to crawl but going nowhere!,still she had time to stop and stuff a handful of dirt in her mouth though.

Kids!

The Bub brigade!

Ruby,Harley(9 months old),and Bailey(3 months old)...just hangin' out.


I took Ruby to her first playgroup this morning.She fell asleep just before we got there and so was abit surprised when she woke,she saw heaps of other small children and mums(and one dad),with lots of arts and crafts and a big playground...ofcourse Ruby is too young for all that yet but it won't be long.Instead she played on the floor with other bubs her age and i mingled with the adults.Everyone was very friendly and I enjoyed chatting to 3 other mums in particular,Michelle(mum to Logan),Robyn(mum to xander and adorable 3-month-old Bailey)and Katy(Can't remember her two little boys names?).We stayed for nearlly 2-hours.

It was lovely to spend some one-on-one time with my little girl and SO PEACEFUL,but I did miss my boy and after,I hurried to pick him up from his aunty Rose.He had a fun-filled morning too.

Butterfingers







Jas helped me bake some scones this morning,we had alot of fun in the process.Jassie had to taste all the ingrediants,including raw broccoli and BUTTER!!?,how discusting is that! but i'm even more stunned that he ate a vegetable!!.



We then added our scones to our Tuna sandwiches,boiled egg,apples+juice and headed off to the park for a picnic and to feed the ducks.Jas was abit grumpy but still giggled at the ducks and I felt so proud when he shouted out "Duck!" for the first time.



Ruby did her sitting-thing and munched on egg and looked very happy.They are so easy at this age!



Auntie R and Ethan visited this affo and the boys took turns riding the trike and wearing the chinese hat.

Just another day




Another non-happening day,been afew of those lately,but that does not mean we do not have fun.


Jas and I played peek-a-boo,with him hiding in the bedroom wardrobe,very funny..


Ruby is still stubbornly trying to feed herself,SEE PHOTO for end result of this!.She is getting very good at drinking from her sipper cup too.She even had a small piece of Chicken and Vege pie for lunch today,I love it when they start eating proper food.

Other fav things include,:

RUNNING,laughing,yelling,screaming...y'know,the usual stuff.
TANTRUMS:love these.
TALKING semi-babble,semi-english,I surpose it's kind of a cross between both of these...I know what I'm talking about anyway!
TAKING my nappy off...I think it's time for toilet training mum!
COUSINS:especially copying my cool cuz,Ethan,we love to be as noisy as humanly possible.
AND NO 1 is still RABBI...my sick looking toy rabbit that I have loved since I was a very little fella'.

Triple the chaos!

Patience,although small,is the leader of the little group...naturally.
Jas,Ruby and I ate a yummy croisant...i know,thats not how you spell it!(smarty pants!)

The boys...who made so much noise that the owner of the cafe promised he would give them both marshmallows if they would be quiet...they never did get those marshmallows.
