Thank you Universe ...

The week as it was...14th Sept 2011...thank you to my samsung galaxy phone for the pics!!

Thursday:

Ive learnt to be careful what you asked for: wanted a super strong willed, independent and clever woman - thank you universe, I certainly got what I asked for !!! 5.30am tantrum, 15mins of new tack-tic, ignoring til it gave in - Sophie Alice, you may be a diva, but please learn that mumma is the biggerst diva in this house !!! Update, this has worked, no more early am LOUD screaming tantrums since, just got to tackle the few day time ones and the ears that have seemed to have turned off now !!!

Evie tried really cold apple and pear puree, its good ! her mouth kept opening like a little bird on a feeding frenzy - so addorable !!! Gee wizz, its amazing the difference between premmie babies and full term babies, they have so much more strength just to do everything !!! But wow the power of premmie bubbas - little determined people !!! I love experiencing everything with my two very different girls !!!

Raining today, so sorry environment the dryer is going -man the washing in this house

opps chokito bar jumped in my belly !!

Friday: 

Moo, Evie the foreman and I built a fence to keep her dogs, yep the dogs have arrived too !!! This house is so full its about to burst !!! Lucky I know how to build stuff, cause obviously Amanda Nolan didnt pay attention to dad's look after yourself classes lol - she so thought she was clever knocking in the posts - ha funny watching her actually 'build' something !!! Thank you Porshia for knocking over my just about to bloom bulbs in the pot, and the lettuce seedlings Soph was growing !!!!

 

Worm wraps for tea - Lincy and Soph,  yep can you even imagine - 2 minute noodles rolled in a tortilla wrap hhmmmmm yummy???? these children are weird on a Friday whatever for tea evening !!! at least dessert was apple !!! I dont actually know how that happened and who started that idea ???? Just because we gave you some tortilla wrap to keep you quiet while the noodles cooked, didnt mean you wrap the noodles in it ???? What makes kids minds work ??? funny little dudes !!! 

This is how we get dinner cooked at my place !!! and know where the munchkins are !!!

Date night with me and Pauly - Baskin Robbins, hot chocolate and night light view of Gold Coast from up high - beautiful - in the work van, nyyce - well our significant others were.... ASLEEP...... he he he like father like daughter......

Sat: washing washing washing still washing and cleaning

Dinner at sizzler with Leigha, Ash, Troy and Bump - dessert bar yep mousse and lollies of COURSE, first time we let Soph have anything like it, and help herself - should have seen her face !!! Actually you should have seen Leigha's and mine too lol hhmmm yeh  chocolate mouse is sooo still my fav dessert, All good, we only had salad for tea, so that counteracts dessert right ??? he he he followed by hanging in the bar at the flash place they were staying with hot chocolates and baby chinos - yep all feeling rather over full and sickly, just as we had hoped lol

 

Sunday: Fab four picnic down at Emerald Lakes under a lovely cool tree, by the pond - fish and chips - awesome homemade potato scallops and calamari, loving the spring time

Evie did her first wee on the big loo !!!! We started the 'sit on the little seat each day' for fun to train, and clever girl did a wizz !!! Lets see if I can beat Soph's record in never changing a dirty nappy from the time she was 11 months old ...... hears hoping !!!! Go Evie....!!!

  Bits and Bobs:

So much Images of Life by Lisa work to do, one image at a time - I will get there - its a tough gig being a full time mum with a nearly 3 year old, a 5 month old - a partner and house and garden to look after - let alone a business to run. I love my work so much, and cant wait til I can get back and do it more, but for now little bits will keep me happy, my family comes first, sleep seems to be coming last, a few early nights in a row then Ill get back into it !!!

Hot chocolate - a new found addiction - loving the BOMB of melted marshmellow through the takeaway spout at the end !!! stop it !! Im banning myself !! since my date night with Paul, Ive had 2 more !!!

Grateful moments: grateful for spring time, it renews your soul, not to hot and not to cold, just perfect !

That when I hug my soft cuddly baby Evie and think, gosh I want another baby, Sophie does something as a 2.5 year old does, that makes me see sense lol !!! but oh how babies make your heart melt !!!

Something learnt today: I really love Sophies little teeth, and Evies chunky legs !!!

Priceless moments:  

1: got Soph up from her sleep and carrying her like a sack of potatoes walked to turn off our 'rest time' relaxation music playing on the Mac and Soph randomly said, I love cake - I do too I said, wondering why did she say that - then I realised I had the cafe cake holder on the bench with the piklets in it for afternoon tea lol funny critter - hint hint mummy lol  

2: me to scott : do you wan to pack the pram and take the girls on the train saturday, Sophs never been on a train, maybe go to the city for lunch ? 

scott to me: yeh maybe

sophie to evie: "evie do you wanna pack the pram and go to sydney on thomas " 

OMG soo funny - how did she think city=sydney and train=thomas lol!!!

3: Soph: " I want to do dressups now" Me: "really" Soph: " Yes ill put them on you and take a photo" lol crack me up !!! we were princess cats, well there are two sets of cat ears and two tiara's in the dress up box so thats what Soph made us, oh and we had wings - so flying princess cats !!! that imagination, she is a classic !!! xxx  

ps its rather hard to take pics on your phone of yourself and your 2.5 year old in ears, wings and tutus being princess cats let me tell ya !!!

Something I loved today: Watching Evie laugh when Sophie laughed, and everytime Soph laughed Evie giggled ... Sophie playing with Evies toy to make her laugh more, just like I do - Oh dear children are definatley products of there parents and environment, note: always try to be a perfect parent ;o)

Miss S: Put socks on herself, and though it was a high five moment !

Miss E: rolled off her play mat onto the tiles, like 1 metre a way in 5 seconds - cheeky munchkin

Scott: got a head cold ;o(

Lisa: wishing for my tidy and quiet house back, but still loving Moo, Paul, Linc and Co
