Dress ups

Ryan was invited to a birthday party today at Kid City. It was a dress up party. Ryan went as a pilot and Benny went as Captain Feathersword. Check out how cute they are!

Inconsolable

Poor Matthew is sobbing his heart out. Nanna and Poppy Rickard have just been to visit for the weekend. However they have now left. And Matthew is so very unhappy. He tried to convince them to stay and yet they still left. So now he is sobbing. And unfortunately I cant ease his pain only Nanna and Poppy can do that. The joys of living far away from your family!

Two Plugs and a brag.

First plug! One of my friends here in Canberra makes beautiful organic bath products. The boys bath in organic watermelon bubbles. I cleans with her lovely cleansers which feel so nice on my picky skin. I haven't had any dermatitis outbreaks since i started using her products. So if you need some gorgeous organic bath products the company is called Dare to be Natural (her last name is Dare! Get it!) check out her web site.

Second plug! My long time friend Nicole has started her own photography business. I am really looking forward to her taking our family photos at Christmas time because her work is stunning. So if you need a photographer and you are in Brisbane here is your lady!

And finally for the brag. My other lovely friend here in Canberra has made some gorgeous artwork for Ben and Ryan's room. She used a lino block and a whole lot of things that my completely non-creative body cannot understand but I love it and so do the boys. Ben especially because he thinks Margie is more beautiful than Mummy! And she is too! So the boys have the best artwork ever in their bedroom!

Bathing Busta

Many hands make light work and a happy dog!

Swimming

Ben is dying to do swimming with the other two. We had planned to start this term but we couldn't work the timing out for three lessons and not be there for over an hour and a half! So he will start next year when the other two will be at school.

Miles Franklin Fun Day

Last Saturday was the Pre School Fun Day. Well actually it was a birthday party a 11.30, Fun day 12.30 then another party at 2! It was such a busy day because Nathan and I also went out for dinner that night which worked out really well because we had the kids all hyped out on sugar and then left the babysitter to out them to sleep! Really we are genius parents! Any way here are some pictures of the fun day. An absolutely exhausted baa lamb!
Ben going what the *@#$ is that!

Nice Baa Lamb

Ryan wanted to be a lion. When we went the the 2nd party he went around to every guest and roared at them!

Ben hugely impressed with his hair spray do.

A Vent

To the lady in the toy department of a leading retailer today you are one rude woman! Firstly she rammed her trolley into my stroller (thankfully empty) coming around a corner then she squashed Ryan between her trolley and the shelving! I was quite vocal as I called to Ben "Come on Ben we are going before you get squashed too!" And whilst i was calming down Ryan I loudly said "I've never seen such a rude person out shopping!" (Probably not true about her being the rudest but she was pretty darn shocking!) She didn't even apologise! Probably because her above averaged sized children could withstand a crushing of that magnitude but our dainty little Ryan was not so lucky! End of nasty vent! Thank you!
