Little boys fingers…

6 08 2007

During the school holidays, I took the boys to Officeworks because I needed some stationary, including a guillotine.  They boys were misbehaving quite a bit, and I was getting tired of them mucking around.  I was also worried they would knock over all the displays!

N spotted the guillotine as we were going through the check out and asked me what it was.  My reply "It’s something to cut the fingers off little boys who are ...



Great Mummy today…

2 08 2007

The school has a cake stall fundraiser today.  While N is gluten intollerant & can’t eat cake, I thought I’d still bake something - a gluten free cake that we could then buy back.

After the boys were in bed, I mixed up the cake & put it in the oven, then sat down to watch TV.  I ended up dozing on the couch and forgot all about the cake   Note to self: ...



OMG! I’m up before the boys!

25 07 2007

Shock horror!  It’s 7.21 and the boys are still asleep    Usually they are up at 6 & I’m begging them to go back to sleep! 

Someone, please tell me what I did differently so they can repeat this.  I was up at 7 cos of the pets wanting to be fed.  Seven am is a much more reasonable time than 6.

An update

Z is feeling under the weather.  He got up & informed ...

All by myself…

23 07 2007

Well, not entirely, the boys are around…

My parents have gone on holiday to Darwin for 3 weeks, leaving the boys and I alone with the pets (2 dogs & 1 cat).  During this time, as well as general day to day tasks, we also need to get organised as we are moving!  Settlement is in 5 weeks time, but I’m not 100% sure when we are moving as the Business Mums Conference is in ...

Very proud Mummy

29 06 2007

N got his first school report today - and I am very proud.  He is right on track in most areas, and ahead in others.  The one that confuses me most is sport!  He is above average… his mother has no interest in sport whatsoever…  Ahhh, so that’s where my sporting ability went - to my son 

He is also above average in Mathematics.

I am a very proud Mummy right now.  The ...



Freezing Cold

18 06 2007

I like winter - I really do…  but it’s soooo cold at the moment!  My fingers are frozen and the heater is working over time.

This is a definate advantage to being a WAHM - I can work in my slippers!  I’m tempted to put my lovely, warm dressing gown on over my clothes!



Knit One, Knit Two…

17 06 2007

With the freezing cold weather in Melbourne this week, the boys each decided they wanted a footy scarf!  So, guess what - I’ve decided to knit them each a scarf in their team colours.  Z likes the Geelong Cats and N likes the Sydney Swans (because they are red!).  Thankfully in our searching, we came across a partly done scarf that Oma started a few years ago for my brother.  It’s in ...
