It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!




Well, only 5 more sleeps. The boys are so very excited. We have had 2 parties at our home in the last 5 days, so we are all a bit weary and I would love to have a bit more rest (Baby K has other ideas though!)

Ethan had his Christmas Party at Day Care last week. Santa was there to give them all a pressie and the kids sang songs for him. This is his last Christmas there as he moves onto Kindergarten next year.

HO HO HO!!!! Merry Christmas everyone. It is our family tradition to put our Christmas tree and decorations up on the first weekend in December. Well, yesterday was the 1st of December, so we put our brand new Christmas tree up with lots of beautiful red and gold baubles and of course all of the sentimental ornaments that we have collected over the last 6 years since Harrison was born. Alistair's parents and my parents came over and we had a fun afternoon. Kaleb as usual was wanting to get into everything. He broke my beautiful musical snow dome yesterday and this morning when I wasn't looking he pulled a bauble off the tree and of course it smashed into a thousand pieces. Hence, we had to move the baubles even further up the tree!

The MOvember MOtley Crew



Here they are, the boys at work. It was great to see everyone involved in Movember! We had customers donate money, so that was fantastic and all the boys had fun with it. I think most of them have all been shaved off now, so until next MOvember...

Check out my Slide Show!

My Christmas Tree Countdown


I so love this tree! I used K & Co patterned papers and K & Co stickers. The flowers are MM and the numbers are MM stickers. I made the star on top myself. The kids are loving changing the days over each morning. I'm really proud of this OTP project!

Movember



Here is a pic of my gorgeous hubby Ali. He is growing the mo for Movember. All the guys at work are also growing it to raise much needed funds for mens health. He is going to get a group photo tomorrow at work, so when I have the pics I will show.

He can't wait for tomorrow night to shave it all off! Me either - it's been really weird!!

Kaleb's first swim in our pool


Well, he wasn't too sure at first, didn't like the thought of not being in my arms. I think it was a security thing! No doubt after a few weeks he will be loving it. He kept leaning forward in this baby seat. We put Joshua (my nephew who is 8 weeks younger) in it and he leant back and nearly went to sleep. So funny!! Another water baby in the making? I think so!

Christmas Photo Shoot 2007


Well, this is always a bit stressful, but a lot of fun!! This is one of the photos that DIDN'T make it to the cards, but I love it anyway. Ali is behind Kaleb under a white sheet making sure he doesn't fall backwards. Ethan didn't want to have his picture taken, but thankfully we persuaded him to have one with his brothers, but of course, it ended up being about 50 snapshots that I took. This will be Kaleb's first Christmas and our first as a 'complete' family. It will be heaps of fun!! Gee, I love Christmas!! and I love these 3 boys!!

Teddies in Blanket Biscuits



I wanted to show you the biscuits I decorated for a friend's 4th "pink" birthday party. They were a hit with the kids and the birthday girl loved them!! They were so easy to do. Arrowroot biscuits, then tiny teddies, then icing over the top for blankets and then decorate with what ever you want. I'm not that good in the kitchen, so it doesn't take much for me to be proud of what I've done lol!!!

Is it November already??

Well, I can't believe it's already the 1st of November. Not long now until Christmas is upon us. I'm very excited - I love Christmas and of course this will be Kaleb's first, so that is pretty special.

Week ending 17 August 2007

Well, what a week it has been. The boys went to the Ekka on Tuesday with their grandparents. They had a fab time. The numbers were down this year - everyone has been scared away because of the flu epidemic. That made for a good day. Of course they were feral when they got home and Wednesday was a public holiday, so they fought all day!!
I started back at work on Monday. Mum and dad are looking after Kaleb. So far, so good. I've been working til around 1.30pm because I miss him too much and there is still lots to do at home.
Ethan's birthday party is on Sunday at Moffat Beach. Forcast is for rain all weekend. Backup plan is to have the party at home. I will set up the garage and organise games. Should be fun - superhero party, I'm going as "Super MUM".
Anyway, not much else to report, so,bye for now.
