Here's a little photo post.. just because..

A few from our trip to Aireys.. I didn't take many pics at all! My fave is John with his gigantic icecream from Anglesea. 

A few snaps of Molly painting Christmas paper.. and herself

A few snaps

I just bought this cute little knitting kit.. The pattern looks easy enough and I can see myself churning out dozens of these little legwarmers for gifts every time a friend has a baby.. 

This emerald green dye is going to spruce up all the old greying baby singlets that I have. I refuse to buy more so hopefully this will give them a second life

Molly- a self portrait. Taken shortly after her little fainting/vomiting episode the other morning.

Half of the gorgeous rainbow we saw out our bedroom window.. Molly is convinced it was God trying to cheer her up with a pretty picture as she was feeling so sick. It's probably true.

The other half of the rainbow...

Day 9/30- My last purchase and some extra pics from our day..

My last purchase- wheat free, yeast free bread from the Warrandyte Bakery

John's last purchase- a universal remote... we are always losing our 4 remotes! Hope it works!!

And here's a few pics from our little trip to Warrandyte today.

We had a competition to see who could find the longest piece of bark.. Molly won and is pictured here using the bark as a long dinosaur neck so she can reach the leaves at the top of the tree and eat them for lunch.

Here Daddy is holding Molly so she can fly on her  broomstick like the witch from her favourite movie The Wizard of Oz. Daddy is going to photoshop himself out.

Day 1/30- A day in the life of us!

I started my day feeling not too flash.. Sat in bed for much longer than I should have while Molly pottered around and got ready for her day. One of my Twitter status updates was "Hubby knows what I need when I'm sick; hot drinks, bed and Twitter".. So that's what I did until he needed to leave.

Thanks to Charlie and Lola, Molly loves "pink milk"... When I looked at the back of the tins of commercial powder stuff I decided making it with real strawberries was a much better decision. We both drink it regularly- Ut's delushus!

Molly's contribution..

Cupcake decorating time! We decided to make cupcakes to celebrate my sister-in-law's estimated due date and share them at a picnic later today.

Buckling up and heading off to Pipemaker's Park for our picnic.

Cousins enjoying the pipes together!

Happy EDD Mezz... (nothing yet!)

The cupcakes were a howling success!

Upon our return home, I set Molly up with a DVD and I watched an inspirational doco about a doula who works with disadvantaged teen mothers in Chicago (see post below for the film).. I had tears streaming down my face for much of it.

Cuddle time...

Molly cleaned her workspace...

I cleaned the kitchen..

Molly cleaned the coffee table..

One of the small joys in my life is to have a clear sink... It's not that much to ask is it??! Yeah, I need a life, you're right...

Feet up after a busy day..

John got home all excited about Brownlow night tonight. He is holding a score sheet and he is making us all participate in a competition. The thing is, only he and his friend Gareth know enough about Footy to have any real chance of winning.. Oh well, he's excited!

Then I fed the worms.. Our 20,000 pets.

Hung out some washing... Yup, we have odd socks.. We just cannot seem to keep our socks together.

Watched Mol on her bike for a while..

John was inspired to clean for his exciting night in..

Our housemate Mayra cooked us dinner- a delicious spicy pork dish with brown rice..

And I finished off my meal with one of these.. This is for you Nicky!

Now I am waiting for our guests to arrive for football's "night of nights".. I am sure I will retire to bed before the winner is announced.

Thanks for joining us!

Spring photo post..

A few springtime photos..

We spent some time in the garden.. Molly has planted roly-poly carrots, lettuce, rocket and parsley..

The strawberries are absolutely to die for right now. John and I saw the same special at the market and both bought 2 punnets without the other one knowing.. so, we have a glut!

Mmm.. smoothie

This afternoon I asked Molly what she wanted for lunch... her reply?? Miso soup and nori sheets to dip.. She's a dude!
