TOO MANY…

This week there have been way too many things going on to mention them all.  But here is a sample:

  • going to nursery rhymes at the State Library with some other baby friends.  It was an amazing activity to go and do, but despite all the cool stuff going on, Ollie took the greatest delight in just walking up and down the stairs repeatedly
  • wearing our cute new super white volleys IMG_3378
  • patting Gus the cat on the head and saying “Gush” (often accompanied by his war cry that goes “daaaaadaaaaaaadaaaaadaaaa” in a really high pitch – I now know that it means he has found the cat and is moving very quickly toward her
  • thinking that playing with powerpoints is an awesome game and that it is even funnier when mummy gets cranky at him.  Bonus points for going straight back to the same powerpoint and laughing hysterically when I come back over to him
  • all things teddy bear.  He is loving his teddy friends and delights in giving them big kisses and cuddles.  This week I let him take panda for one of his daytime naps.  It was the cutest thing to see him snuggled up to him but I won’t be letting him happen again too soon as he had him smooshed right up to his mouth and nose and totally freaked me out.
  • crossing his gorgeous little (dirty) feet when he is sitting in his highchair

  • saying “car”
  • taking his little bike for a ride along the river.  He was thrilled to see the dogs going for walks and when he made his high pitched “woof woof” sound he had the dog owners cracking up with laughter (I told them it is because we only live near little yappy dogs so that is what he thinks they sound like)IMG_3514
  • and finally, waving at everyone. When I pick him up from daycare he starts waving straight away to everyone else. If Nanna Carmel has him and I come home, he starts waving at her.  Even the cars driving past get the odd wave.  Very cute.

Food, friends and footy.

This week Ollie and I had a special visitor all the way from Cloncurry - our friend Jesse. Jesse came to play at Camp Ollie for a few hours while his mum had some very well deserved shopping time. Ollie and Jesse played lots of fun games like cups and Jesse was very helpful to me during the afternoon. Another exciting event this week was Nick and my third wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went to the lovely E'cco restaurant on Saturday night, thanks to Aunty Em who stayed over at our place to look after Ollie. Thankfully Ollie was on his best behaviour, as opposed to some of the other nights recently that have seen me popping into his room a number of times in the early hours of the morning. Ollie got to see his Aunty Em again the next day when we went over to the McNaughton/Dower home to celebrate Aunty Hayley's birthday and to catch up with Uncle Luke. Hayley cooked the wonderful family birthday tradition of Flat Meat (hard to describe but kind of like a thinner sc...

Movieworld!

I told you last week that we had been busy having lots of fun around here and another of our fun activities (this time while Nanna Freddy was here) was a trip to Movieworld. But as I'm currently heat pressing fifty odd t-shirts for this weekend's big market, I am only able to make it to the computer in 40 second stints.  It isn't that I'm worried about scorching the shirts, but the heat press has this dreadful tinky asian sounding song as the alarm on the timer and it really grates on my soul!  And as I'm sure you can agree that there isn't a whole lot I can write in the time it takes me to run between the computer and the press (this paragraph has taken me five t-shirts!), this blog is going to be mainly pictures. Ol loved the characters. But not as much as the rides.  He went on about 16.  Seriously. He wasn't a fan of the car driving ones as he just couldn't make them work properly.  His dodgem effort was basically just driving aro...

Eve is 11: the birthday blog

  To my beautiful eleven year old daughter. Another year has flown by and you are another year older in the blink of an eye. Let me share some of the things I will always remember about you at this age. - You got a phone. Probably one of the biggest changes this year. Like all young people, you see it as an extension of your hand and you need to be reminded to get off it quite a lot. - You fronted up for another season of netball, despite your protestations. It is so lovely to see you out on the court supporting your team mates. - You are seriously addicted to Roblox. Like seriously! You could happily spend hours playing with your friends on there, or even side by side if you’re hanging out together. - You humour is wicked and sometimes savage. Your timing is ridiculously on point sometimes. - You’re not to old or too cool to play with your dolls. Sometimes they still get dusted off and dressed up. There have even been a few haircuts for some of them. - You love listening to audio ...
