04 February 2014 - Friendship <3

Friends make the world go round and you adore your little friends. You are so lucky to have formed friendships with lots of wonderful kids and you love hanging out with them every week. Little Miss Piper here is one of your favourite people (even if you do have a crush on her big sister hehe).

08. Making clothing

Matching Christmas outfits!!!

So the aim this year was to have matching outfits for the kids for Christmas.  Ty hated it, naturally.  So of course I was more determined to ensure they matched and that they were BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT!

The skirt - I've made her three now, I love them and she loves the spinny skirt.  The shorts (that Belinda advised me how to make)... well he has one pair and I do have the best of intentions to make more but I'm not really seeing that come to fruition.  Yeah I'm lazy!  There is a teeny pair of shorts too, for Memphis, however I am not including them in this goal yet because Belinda actually ended up making the majority of them hahah.  Fiddly little buggers.  I will make him some more though - maybe even pj pants - as it's so hard to find pants in his size!

Family... I has it.

Some things require their own special blog post.  The first non-blurry, non-phone pic has been taken of our little family of 5.  Not bad considering Memphis is 10 weeks old in the photo!  We are so slack.  Here we are though, enjoying 'A Day Out with Thomas' at The Workshops Rail Museum in Ispwich. 

We visited the week before school went back with our fabulous adopted family.  The kids LOVED it.  What an awesome place to take them!  I had always been apprehensive as it's quite pricey and I'm all for things that are either free, or near enough to free!  I honestly was not expecting a lot, but was so pleasantly surprised.  The entire place was so interactive and perfect for kids Lexi and Zavian's age.  Chuck in the extra school holiday fun (a Thomas the Tank Engine exhibit, including The Fat Controller) and you have some pretty excited children.  Zavian in particular lapped up the entire day and had so much fun.  Every little thing was fun, interesting and the place in general was so interactive considering it's a museum.  It's definitely a place we will visit again.

The kids and Thomas!

Zavian LOVED the hands on experience

Sweet dreams were had by Memphis

Lexi enjoyed meeting The Fat Controller

A little story: I really wanted a photo of Lexi with The Fat Controller.  When she was around 2, maybe even 3, she started saying "Fucken tol' ya!"  And I would tell her off, you can't say that!  Stop swearing Lexi.  Please don't say that word.  Time out!  And she still said it, and she was getting so frustrated (joys of a child with speech delays!)  I had no idea what she was trying to tell me!  Then one day, Thomas came on (we don't watch it much) and she got so excited pointing to The Fat Controller yelling out "Fucken told ya!"  Oh the poor kid... she'd been getting time out for me not understanding what she was saying at all!!!!

03 February 2014 - Bothersome big brother!

You should come with a sign at the moment. "Hi, my name's Zavian and I'm so bored without my big sister going to school now that I like to annoy everyone. Especially my little brother!" Lucky you are so cute. I love that you want to entertain Memphis, and you do try hard... you've just got to learn when enough is enough haha!

02 February 2014 - Ice cream makes an excellent afternoon snack!

Today was a lazy day. You spent the morning outside playing, before coming if for lunch and a big afternoon nap. The first words out of your mouth upon waking? I want ice cream! Perfect weather for it, so you were booted outside and sat on the front step with your sister and our little next door neighbour where you proceeded to half drip, half eat a homemade berry frozen yoghurt. I wonder how long before you realise that the frozen yoghurt you've been getting isn't actually yoghurt!

01 February 2014 - Movieworld

Today we went to one of your favourite places, Movieworld. We got to hang out with Batman, The Green Lantern, Wonderwoman, Tweety, Bugs, Marvin and lots of other awesome people. You had a great day as you've finally reached a height where you can go on rides! You went on The Wild West ride with Daddy and you finally got to go on the Justice League ride. You were such a brave boy! Another highlight of your day was being picked from the crowd with Lexi by Wonderwoman who then gave you both a magnum ice cream. You were so pleased with yourself!


Every year on the month of their birthday, I take a photo-a-day to document the kids month.  Every day is taken in black and white, and the photo taken on their actual birthday is colour.

Today's photo was taken at Movieworld, in front of the Superman roller coaster.  I am not quite sure what he is cracking up laughing at (probably himself) but he was having a great time.
