Paper Chain Production Line Pandemonium
Here are the Pics. Stamping the red and green paper with Christmas stamps. Letting them dry and then making the chain and then hanging it. Kids loved it. Proud to show daddy when he got home. Christmas is getting closer! Yipeee.
Crawling and Teeth, all come so quickly!
16th December 2008
So here is my little man. Cam is up and away. I didnt really see it coming and it all has happened so quick and he is 5 months today. This video is just the beginning of getting up on hands and knees. In the last 3 days since this video was done he has come so far and is crawling and wiggling all over the place. I thought it would take at least a week for him to advance to a couple of hand to knee movements, but he continues to surprise me and here we a couple of days later and he is doing it already. This baby is growing too quickly!
He now has 2 teeth struggling their way through, and needless to say he is a grumpy little guy. Heck, wouldn't you be too, with sharp little things grinding at your soft tender gums?? He wants me to hold him all day and rock him to sleep, I try and keep to the usual routine, but its hard. I don't want to be done with the teething thing, only to have a clingy baby who cant be on his own or go down to sleep by himself anymore. Ahhh well wish me luck :D

My type of house!
14th December 2008
So after wanting to start Gingerbread houses as our family tradition, finding a great recipe last week, and practicing it once I thought I would suck it in and give it a go. I was inspired by Bobbies tallents and got some awesome tips from her (like freezing the dough and cutting the shape of the house while it was hard). So here are my houses complete with life saver stained glass window and christmas tree (prior to decorating)
The kids decorated them themselves and we chose two families to give them too. The third house was decorated by my niece Jaime and she took hers home. It was so nice to have the Christams carols going, the smells of fresh baked food in the house, the kids decorating and our thoughts only on giving them away! Our neighbours got one, and friends got the other. I would have loved to have given one to everyone I know but it was a lot of work and only my first try. Maybe next year! I loved the precious time with my kids and the feeling of beginning this great new tradition. What a special time of year.
Ready to go:
Yum!

My little Comedian (and Drama Queen in one)
4th December 2008
So here is my girl doing her thing. The best playgroup in the world was at our local shops in a vacant shop and put on by the centre. Helium Balloons, songs and stories, and morning tea are all part of the 45min time that has now sadly ended. It was on every fortnight for 2 months. The last one ended with Christmas carols and a visit from Santa. Brea thought she would be the life of the party (or at least the little video I was doing). The black eye she is sporting was from the wrestle on the bed with her brother and she cracked into the bed head, 2 days before. Lucky thing.
She also started Kindy once a week on a Wednesday with Trent and loves it. Picture of her first day below.
Happy Days!

Totally Busy
So I have been having problems with my 'wonderful camera' (huge sarcasm there!) . So this has lead me to not posting at all. My posts are mundane enough let alone not having any photos to add. So i will endeavor to catch up a little. Happy Reading!
