Well,I must admit I am a sucker for christmas,I love this time of year(except the crowded shops).I guess growing up with a mum who was also big on christmas and who always went out of her way to make it special...has rubbed off on me!.I can do without all the hype though,the huge-materalistic side of it...good time to take stock and remember the true meaning aye?,whatever that meaning is for you.
Well with two bored kids on my hands,I decided to pull out our "lovely"artificial tree today and deco's and let jas and roob's go mad...well,the result was very funny...we now have a tree adorned with toy cars,plastic plate,a sponge and lots of gaudy tinsel...and yes,i know it's early to put the xmas tree up but,oh well!

Merry christmas!

KiaOra

Rose and andrew popped by today,AJ and I have both been slackers as we haven't seen oneanother in AGES.Billy had a nice cuddle with his uncle and also chucked up on his uncle a couple of times too,heehee.

Ruby was so cute this evening...going around watering all the flowers and plants..and grass..with her little watering can.

Jassie's birds Nest

Jas started talking about baby birds this morning(don't know why),anyway,we had an idea to make a birds nest...so,we hunted around for 'bits'and jasper,i think,created something very beautiful.He was so proud and I was proud of him.
It will make a sweet christmas deco too(we are having an early,mini christmas on the 23rd Nov before our BIG christmas celebration in south africa,but I think i have already said this before?).We are sooooo excited about our african trip,seeing the sights of CapeTown...oohhhh gosh!And meeting our little niece Katie.Just being with Davie's wonderful family is special,and for my children to meet their great granny Doyle,well,it is just sure to be an amazing time.
And only three-weeks untill we are there!!!

Growing and Learning new tricks...

I am a social wee fella,have started squealing and chuckling,especially when tickled(I am very ticklish).I have grown alot and am now in 3month+ clothes.I Adore my big bro and Sis and i look as if i can't wait to get up and play with them.Mum would not be surprised if i am crawling earlier as I just have a very alert nature.
I love going for walks in the stroller,being lifted up in the air,trying to roll when put on my tummy(daddy discovered me in my bed on my tummy one day).I just can't wait to get going!.
Sometimes,I'm startled by my own hands 'cause I sorta forget I have them for a minute and then I remember and I stuff them in my mouth!,I can get a whole fist in my mouth!.
What will I learn tommorow?

Pirates! I love this photo.

We went to logan's birthday party...

We went to our friend Logan's birthday party!.I had been talking about it for ages before we went,I do like party's...alot.Anyway,logan is a very lucky boy,mum says,because he has his own bouncy castle.We ate cake,which i really was looking forward to!We then opened presents,we gave Logan an "In the night garden"book(his favorite),I had to help open all his presents,mum had to drag me away because i was so good at it,but she said logan may like to open some WITHOUT help.
We had lots of fun.Ruby was abit quiet because all us boys were abit loud!Mummy say's it won't be long and little sophie and karley will be old enough to play with her.

And guess what?Mum has enrolled me into kindy for next year,I really can't wait!.

Billy at 3-months-old....already?!

William is a dream baby!So content,quiet,patient.A very happy little dude.He is sleeping very well.He is very aware of whats going on around him...just stares as his big brother and sister tear around the place,he went to his first kiddies birthday party today and barely made a peep.
He looks soooo much like his father.He also has just discovered his hands,so he loves to play in his gym and whack the toys.He gets very excited when mummy or daddy pick him up.He is just a little sweetheart.We are very,very lucky to have him...even if it is chaotic with three kids!.

Cool carousel ride

We took a walk up to the local school today to check out the fete.I loved the horse ride that went round and round..jas liked the motorbike.We also liked the playground because it had a funny window that was different colours and me and jassie made funny faces in it!.Then it rained and we had to wait 'till it stopped,and on our way home we jumped in ALL the puddles!Fun.
Ruby.

"If you go down to the woods today..."

We went to a teddies bears picnic today.Apart from the heat and the crowds it was quite fun.The kids met up with their bud Logan and they all tore around the park.jas held onto his teddy the whole time,cute.

The gang

We went and met our friends at fantasy park this morning.Nicole gave me a couple of her kids babystuff that they have outgrown,which is perfect for billy.Thanks Nic!.

A picnic in the backyard

I felt like a picnic in our backyard so,I took my basket to mum and she filled it up with snacks and me,daddy,ruby and billy had a very nice picnic.
Jasper.

swimming on saturday

We went along to the local pools on saturday and had a brilliant old time,sure ,it was abit of a juggling act but so is EVERYTHING when you have three children!Jas and Roobs had a smile on their faces' the whole time and wee william liked when i put his foot under the small fountain stream.Dave and I took turns holding bubs while one of us would swim with the two bigger kids.
We plan to go swimming every saturday now.

Whiskers

This morning we got creative with paint...on our faces!!mummy thought it was a hoot and she added some whiskers,so we became Lions...Grrrrr.Then,ruby decided we would be pirates!.And THEN ruby became...well...a dancing-pirate-princess!(with a santa hat on).Why not!.
Jasper.

Billy at 2-months-old..'lil blue eyes

I Went to see the nurse today.I am getting big and strong...I now weigh 4540kgs(10 pounds)and am 57cm tall.I have good reflexes,excellent eyesight and hearing and I charmed the nurse with my "talking"(lots of ah-goos and coos and squeals now).She called me handsome and Mummy agrees.
We stopped in at auntie Rose's and I gave aunty lots of smiles...auntie was glad 'cause last time I saw her I cryed!
Jas and Roo cuddled aunty+uncles new puppies,mum wanted to take the runt of the litter home but then imagined daddys face and changed her mind.Hm,wonder why?
