Halloween

Apologies again. Just TOO TOO busy around here.

In addition to working overtime on Mini Mayhem (markets in less than two weeks and now a space in a new store opening up at Annerley!), I've also picked up 100 uni assignments to mark. So spare time is non-existent and blogs, like personal relationships and exercise, appear to be the victim.

I did tee up a guest blogger in the form of Nick but he too has been busy. Perhaps he can knock something witty out next time. But just to give you all your fix of the gorgeous people, here is Halloween...

Evie busted out the Olliebear costume. It was a tad big on her and the temperature wasn't really appropriate for full-body bear suits so it was for photos only. But you'll have to agree that she just looks adorable.


Myself and the two little monsters. Ollie was a dragon. Although I heard numerous people suggest that he was a dinosaur and even a few that he was a crocodile.

Nick was a vampire. A glasses wearing vampire. We thought it was hilarious that he was immortal but still short-sighted.

Ollie's girlfriend Madi joined us for the festivities. She was a ladybird. This isn't the greatest pic but I had to include it to show them walking along hand in hand. Just the cutest thing ever.


And it was all topped off with the street parade. Ollie sat right at the front for a great view of all the noisy hotted up cars, marching bands and people in costume. He even got screamed at by a very scary Freddie Krueger. And he loved every minute of it.

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...

HE’S OFF

Friends of ours have two kids who are a few years older than Obear so we’ve been to a few birthday parties at their place over the years.  Twice a year we get to catch up with their various friends and have seen many of them pregnant, with babies and now with bigger kids.  It is amazing to see them all grow up.  This time last year we rocked out there with our tiny three week old baby who Nick held protectively throughout the party.  This year he was walking around by himself and even managed a small level of involvement in pass the parcel.  By the next party in November he will no doubt be tearing around and in years to come he can really get into the festivities with the bigger kids and hopefully look out for his younger sibling. It was while we were at the party today that I noticed something new in Ollie’s mouth – two top teeth!  Finally the two front teeth are starting to cut through.  I must concede that I was starting to wonder if he was de...
