All by herself


The big news around here this week is that Miss Evie Peevey is sitting up ALL BY HERSELF! A big pile of cushions is still required and definitely not on any hard surfaces but this is still a huge development. I tried to get a good pic of it for you all but it was more of an action shot - in the split second before she keeled over!


This week also saw Ollie and Eve going to have needles. I have been dreading taking them both along but it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Ol, not having had a needle in a long time, clearly forgot what was involved as when I told him he was only getting one while Evie had to get two, he started complaining that he wanted two as well.

Probably the most painful part of the whole experience for me was the waiting room. Why do doctors have to keep you waiting for at least an hour? Thanks to the wonders of iphone games it wasn't too bad but once Ollie grew tired of the games he thought it would be a great game to point to all the people in the room and one by one at the top of his voice ask me whether they had a penis. At least he kept us all entertained.

The needles weren't pleasant for the little people but Ollie was quickly subdued with a freddo. On the way home he declared that he didn't want to get any more needles. Smart boy.



Evie continues to hoover food and is enjoying lots of new tastes including vanilla yoghurt which seems to be her favourite food at the moment. She gets this crazy look in her eyes and shakes her hands with excitement when she gets a taste of it.

Perhaps all of this eating is why she has such chubby little legs. I was actually stopped in a shop the other day by a lady who just had to look at her chunky knees. She thought they were so gorgeous that she called out to her friend in the next aisle to "come and look at these delicious little legs". Surely this is the only time in life when it is acceptable to do that!
How nutty are my family? This bag of mixed nuts will be away for the next week. We are setting sail with Nanna, Poppy, three aunties, an uncle and a cousin and about 2000 other people on a cruise. We are all very excited, especially me as I'm just looking forward to having so many people willing to look after my children for me!!

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 stor
