Kids and grandparents

I took these this morning while getting J ready for school.  What a beautiful girl you are my gorgeous one.

My parents come up and visit the kids once a fortnight.  They only live 30mins drive away but we dont get to see them too often.  They are definately great GRANDparents.  I hate the thought that they wont be around forever as they kids adore them, so i will make sure i take lots of photos of them in the future...

Sometimes i turn into Bindy's Home Day care... without being paid that is lol.  I always figure its easier if the kids have someone to play with then being bored and complaining to me. We have quite a few over the other day...

I made a gorgeous cake the other day... wholemeal flour with carrots and pineapple.  I try very hard to cook healthy.  I only buy wholegrains (including brown rice, wholemeal bread, wholemal crumpets etc etc).    This cake was delicious!

Cocoons to Butterflies

Its a new game... wrap the kids at tightly as possible in a blanket and watch them try to escape lol.  They love it and have to emerge as butterflies...

My friend came over today with her little girl Emilia.  Rory loves her as you can see.  I see an arranged marriage here...

Better late then.... never!

Life is hectic sometimes.... but here is our life in the last month in photos...

This bird loves drinking coffee, tea and now beer.  But the delay on the camera meant i didnt quite get his head drinking the beer.  And its not animal cruelty as the beer is home brew lol

Here are a bunch of photos taken by myself and also the two kidlets.  They are cheeky monkeys!

 A few weeks ago we had a stay dog appear at our back door.  This is probably the 6th stray we have had since living here.  We dont have a completely fenced off yard so they often wander to our back door.  So this cute little white puppy appears, soaked with rain and hungry.  We named him Bolt (cause he looks a bit like the puppy from the movie.  Wayne really wanted to draw a lightening bolt on his side lol.  We gave him some food and called the ranger.  Luckily the kids got a couple of hours play before she arrived and im glad to say he had a microchip and was safely returned to his human family.

Dads are so much fun.  After dinner the kids often grab this blanket and beg daddy to slide them up and down the hallway and wrap them in it to be swung around.

It's always fun to have friends visiting...
