Elf yourself

Not sure if this will work but I just love it so much. My sister Stephi put the kids faces on these little elves and this is the end result. Too cute hey?

Buddies and Showercaps

These are some photos of Hamish and Gideon. Gideon comes to our house every day after school and sleeps over a couple of times a fortnight. He is just part of the family now. Hamish and Gideon are great mates. They enjoy each others immensely. I love these photos. Such big cuddles.
This is Caitlin before she hopped into the shower. Doesn't she look cute? LOL? Such big blue eyes. The watercolors behind her were done by Bailey and I. We are just beginners but we really enjoy it. Baileys is the one on the left. I think he is very talented.

Well life is starting to slow down now. The kids go on holidays in two weeks. We have school concert this week. They are doing a Christmas musical. Hamish is an angel (of course) and Bailey is a shepherd. Then we have Christmas carols at the nursing home. Christmas parties, birthday parties, end of year parties. LOL. I get tired just thinking about it. But soon it will be holidays and we will be able to chill out. Well as much as you can chill out with four kids. Talk to you soon.
Oh I have joined Facebook and have become a bit addicted to it. It is so much fun there.

Some of this months work

These are my favourite photos of my Grandpa and I. He was such a lovely man and I just loved him to bits.
This months sketch for the emmies. Based on Karen's sketches. You can find more here.

Catch up Charli photos.

This is what Charli looked like the morning we ended up in hospital for the week. She went from nothing wrong when we popped her into bed the night before to this when I got her up. Poor baby.
Here she is celebrating her birthday with a Cinderalla cake. Caitlin was so impressed and so was I, It tasted so good.
I heard a little voice calling me on her birthday and this is what I found. Charli in the sink saying, I'm just brushing my teeth mum. Look how many finger prints are on the mirror. Gross.
These were knickers Charli was given for her birthday and she was so pleased with them.

Where has the time gone?

I know I have been a very slack blogger but my life has just been too hectic. I have lots of photos and things to show but not in this post. Bay performed in his first music concert on Friday night and did very very well. I am not biased at all. LOL. We have been busily chucking all our things out for the council clean out, the only thing hampering us is the household limit. Some people have put out nothing can't we have their space too? Oh well. My house is beginning to look spick and span and I must say I feel much happier having an organised home.

Ok I will be back I promise. Keep checking my blog out and don't forget to post a comment. Love ya.

I am back

So much has happened. Since I last posted. Charli has celebrated her second birthday. I have photos but not today. We had holiday club which was totally full on but lots of fun. I helped out with the drama. (AND IT WAS GREAT THANKS CAROL ANN) Then Charli got cellulitis in her eye and was in hospital for five days on an IV drip. And now I am gearing up for the pet show at school and then perhaps I will have time to post some photos.

We booked a holiday at the beach yesterday - before Christmas. Should be nice, if I can get all my Christmas prep done before I go. LOL. Ok that is it for now, just wanted to pop in.

Long time no here

Ok so we are back from the Gold Coast, had a very noice time, thanks very much. Could seriously live up there. The weather - at this time of year was perfect. So balmy and with that cool sea breeze. Ahhhhh. Plus they have a Sizzler so what more could you ask for?

I forgot to take my camera with me but it wasn't really that kind of holiday. Just shopping, reading books, eating, hanging out, sleeping. Perfect really.

When I got back from my holiday I found out that I had won the Challenge Pack at everymomentmatters.com.au
that was very exciting. It was for the shoe/handbag thingy that I made. Now I don't think it was the best in the comp but I guess it was different. But who cares. I won. LOL.

The kids had a great time while we were away although Charli kept asking if she could please come home. The girls had a nice time at Nanny's and the boys loved their time with their friends. They did the movies, the Blue Mountains, trampolining, Bay can now do a front flip. Hamish lost a tooth. And they were involved in their first car crash. A drunk driver didn't see their car stopped at the lights and so didn't stop and just hit them straight in the back where my two boys were sitting. This had an accumulative effect Michelles car hit the car in front of her which hit the car in front of it. You get it right? They weren't seriously hurt. Just sore necks and a headache. But excitement plus. How come WE never get to do anything cool like that? Um Pass on that I think.

Here are some photos of the kids mucking about before we left. Playing dress up.

Hamish and Jeremy are still having a love affair after all these years. I gave Jeremy an operation a few months ago and gave him some new stuffing. Other than a big scar he is doing fine. LOL.

Here is Hamish displaying his new gap. He has lost three teeth in a very short time. He now looks a bit like a vampire.
This very sad photo was taken after Cate asked when she was ever going to lose some tooth. Awww poor girl. It is tough being one of the youngest.

This is Indiana. Man do my girls love her. Too much. They are constantly harrassing her. Charli in particular. Trying to pick her up. Poking her in the eye. I think my girls really are Indy's favourite people. NOT.
Now this photo sums up the girls relationship perfectly. My girls? Thrilled, excited, happy, laughing. Indy? Terrified, pleading eyes, arms extended. LOL. Ahhh too funny.
Can you believe that tomorrow this little girl turns 2? I certainly can't. That time has just flown. This is Charlis latest obsession. This photo was taken while I was actually typing out this blog entry to show you just what she was doing.
I just looked down and at my feet is Charli sitting on the pottie. She must have felt lonely over there. LOL.
Ok so this week we have holiday club. Gideon coming to stay. Charli's birthday. I am directing the dramas for holiday club and teaching one of the Bible verses. Plus of course I want to scrapbook. I think James is hoping I will get some cleaning in there somewhere. I guess..... but only if I can fit it in. I have priorities don't you know?
