First haircut.

Before I get swept away on more errands i wanted to put a couple pics on of my baby.Billy went for his first hair cut last week.All his curls?GONE!I know,iknow...it's terribly sad but rest assured they WILL grow back!.I even kept one of his baby curls for his baby journal.Sigh.When did my chico get so big?.
Ah well,back to the lead up to christmas and all the CRAZY that goes with it.

School concert.

Well,here we are motoring to the end of another year(I'm convinced every year goes a little faster the older I get!?).I'm 36 next march so excuse me for freaking out abit!!,how is that possible when i still feel 25..ish??.Anyway,so begins the end-of-year School events.Last Tuesday(on the hottest day we have had this season)jasper's pre-primary class performed a song for the rest of the school and the parents.It was sooo cute!They sung "The Lion sleeps tonight".complete with lion masks.they performed really well,i mean,these are little five-year-olds!!They were so brave to sing to the whole school.It was delightful to watch and I was a very proud mummy.

Colours of spring

The facepaint was a gift from their grandparents...


Billy's artwork.

Ruby's bouquet that she created for her dad.They come from a bigger bouquet that mom+dad gave us recently on their vist.Spring is here in a big way in perth.It lifts the heart to see all the life in bloom.Magical.

Father's day at Kings park.

We have recently had the kid's grandparents here for a vist.We visited fremantle,serpentine,and the city.We really enjoyed having them.

Waiting for the tooth fairy

Happy birthday

To our nephew ethan david!Happy 6th birthday darling!!

Welcome

Our new nephew.His name is Liam and he was born to Fiona and shane in Dunedin,NZ on the 26 august.Welcome to the family babe.

Life just keeps keeping on.jasper is playing soccer in the weekends and is loving it.Billy celebrated his second birthday on the 2 august,he loved his train cake and we went and had a picnic.We have planted a small garden in an unused corner of our back section,it is african-inspired!we painted tyres in bright zebra,leopard + giraffe patterns.The kids were very involved.It will be fun for them to grow there own tomatoes and strawberries when the weather warms up.
The kids are excited about the upcoming vist from their gran+grandad,who arrive from Southafrica at the end of this month.

July school holdays

While i'm glad they are over,we did have fun on the recent school holidays...lots of playing at the park,meeting friends,baking and making playdough and even a slumber party--that went relatively smoothly except for one little person who wanted to go home at midnight--and while i did get sick of hearing"I'm Bored!!"I did enjoy not having to make school lunches every morning!
Now they are back at school/kindy and into the swing of term 3 and i have one small,curly haired toddler to toilet train and try to convince to sleep in HIS OWN bed.Wish me luck.
