A week in film







We have been going to the library for about a year now. It is an amazing morning out with lots of singing and dancing, squealing and generally just tearing around and having a good time. Our main friend is Ollie's no. 1 girlfriend Ruby and her mum Rachel. They are the only people who get the library as much as we do. Thankfully too as everytime we turn up and we are making our way through the normally quiet foyer in the pram, Ollie insists on calling out "Rubeeeeeeee, Rubeeeeeee". I can't imagine how upset he would be if she wasn't there.

This week I thought I'd bust out the camera on my phone and I'm so glad I did as there was some absolute cinematic gold. Those two little tikes know how to turn on the charm. It is quite funny as each time we go there they are always a bit shy at first (despite both talking about how they will give the other one cuddles when they get there - cute). But by the end of it all they have both pushed their way right to the front and they are busting out the dance moves on the stage together. They totally steal the limelight and are the biggest groupies ever of Tim the guy who busts out the cool nursery rhymes. We like him because he injects a bit of mummy humour, talking about how work choices has impacted upon Old McDonald's Farm and the like. Plus he calls them ratbags. Usually a bit true! Ollie and Rubeeee just think he is great and I think Ollie is so lucky to have a friend like Ruby. They just love each other. Too too too cute.

Also this week we had the return of Nanna Carmel after many months away. Again Ollie pretended to be a bit shy but it wasn't long until he was giving her lots of kisses and cuddles. The occasion was Aunty Umma's 20th birthday lunch. We all gathered for the usual consumption of yummy food, although it was't flat meat, it still tasted damn good. Ollie won all of his Aunts and Uncles over yet again y saying their names and "lub you". Too sweet.

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 8: the birthday blog!

My youngest child is eight!! How can that be? Nearly three thousand days on this planet?? As I come to grips with this let me share with you some of the things I want to always remember about her at this age: -         She has a crush.  She wouldn’t tell me for ages who it was but Ollie knew and was sworn to secrecy which is super cute.  Plus I knew pretty early on anyway thanks to her writing his name all around the place with love hearts around it. -          She makes this makes this weird cat noise – like a hissing meow.   It’s sometimes accompanied by a strange claw like gesture and usually when she doesn’t like something that you’ve done.   Everyone who has ever heard it agrees that it’s REALLY annoying.   Conversely she has a high pitched squeak like a guinea pig when she is happy about something.   Basically she is just a small animal.   -     ...

Ollie is 13: the birthday blog

  You are officially a teenager.  The big ONE THREE has finally come around.  I know I say it every year but it truly does feel like just moments since you came into this big world.  In typical fashion, you are I want to tell you some of the things that I will always remember about you at this age: - you were accepted into the academic excellence stream for high school and you not only kept your head above water, but finished your first year with an award for achieving five A's - your interest in photography and film has grown and you are enjoying making material and posting it online - something that makes me so very proud - your voice has gotten so deep.  You sound like a man, not the little boy I have grown used to talking to over all these years - you have become involved in drama at school and it fits you like a glove.  You have appeared on stage a number of times now and you are fearless in your performances - you got your first iphone.  This has...
