And the rest!

Other stuff that's happened this year!

Jarvis turned five - see his fab Minion birthday cake!

Toasting marshmallows in the driveway. 

Going swimming in the sea - I hate swimming in the sea, but did it anyway! And it wasn't so bad ;) 

Starting School

Playing football in the garden

Lots of trips to Golden Bay

That day Jarvis cut ALL of Olive's hair off. That was quite the day. 

Lots of adventures. That kinda sums it up. 

So...what's been going on round here?

Ahhh, crazy times. My wonderfully awesome husband is in Canada right now on business, I've been hanging with these two monkeys for almost four weeks now. Thank goodness we get on a plane on Sunday afternoon & join him there for a three week holiday. Hooray! 

Ways to stay amused whilst he's away - host a Thermomix demo. I want a thermomix, and have dreamed about them every freaking night since the guy came & showed my friends & I how amazingly fabulous they are. 

This critter turned three. Three! 

This guy is now five & a half - he's loving school (but secretly a little excited about his extended holiday - we conveniently leave for Canada on the last day of the school holidays!) 

And here we have some La La Loopsy dollies on a tropical island of some sort. All the creativity. 

And that's us for now! Stay tuned for gorgeous photos from our impending trip to Canada :)  

Birthday Girl

A birthday party for a lovely wee girl who's turning two...

Olive has just realised that a real pony has turned up at her birthday party. Thanks to our gorgeous friends, who decorated their pony, Symphony, just like a gigantic My Little Pony :) 

What a wonderful day! 

And one of me

I figure if the kids get to be on the blog, it's only fair I post one of myself too. You probably haven't seen me in a wee while! 

A Footballer & a Cowboy

Such confusion, I can't work out where my follower box has disappeared to, or how to get it back, so I've linked up to bloglovin :)

The things that happen when you abandon your blog for months & months & months, huh...

Olive-isms

Such a hilarious wee lady.

"My torch has a flat tyre"  

  ?

"My torch! It has a flat tyre"

 ???

"It's broken!"

Ahhh. The torch had a flat battery. Olive's bike has a flat tyre ;)

"What shall we have for morning tea?"

"Firecrackers"

Riiiiiiight...

"Firecrackers please Mummy!"

 ??

"Firecrackers with vegemite?"

Rice crackers. He he. We had a huge fireworks display across the road a few weeks back ;) 

Hard to believe this lady will be two in a couple of weeks. Not a baby any more.
