UPDATE!!!!

It has been way too long since I last posted, over five months, actually. And alot has happened in my little life. Birthdays, weddings, family days out and about, life in general. So here's a (kind of) brief update. In the coming weeks I hope to get time to expand and detail some of these events.  

Coby is loving kindy and playing with all her friends. She invited some of them to her birthday in March and has since been invited to some of their birthday parties. So much fun, and I have started a handmade only gift promise to myself. Each friend of Coby's has so far recieved gists that I have handmade andthey love it. I have made texta rolls, aprons, hair clip holders, fabric memory games, drawstring library bags, and super hero capes for gifts. I love that they get something fun and unique to all the other store bought presents.  I have become good friends with the mums at kindy too. I'm happy my "village" is expanding and they are always there to help me out when I need it.  Here is a couple of photos from the Rainbow party for our big 4 year old.

(and if you think the cake I made is super prize worthy, please head over to this great page and vote for my entry every day, its the exact pic above you nEed to look for! cheers!)

And around the same time Coby celebrated turning four, this happened:

(now you have to pretend that photo is actually a video of my teeny son walking! yes WALKING!)

 At a little over 9 and a half months he got it and has been on the go since. It only took him a few days of pushing chairs and toys around to be able to walk totally unassisted. Everywhere. Oh he's a climber too! We celebrated his birthday with a Jungle themed party. A monkey cake for our cheeky boy!

We attended not one but two weddings of gorgeous friends. Both weddings were different but both just perfect and so much fun. Makes me want to get married again! We are coming up to 5 years in October, so we'll celebrate that for sure!

In between our parties, weddings and making milestones we did some puddle jumping, went on family outings and celebrated friends' birthdays. 

 

It's been a busy five months, guess what else we did?

I've reached the halfway mark already, soon we will be welcoming baby four, another boy. I cant wait to bring him into our family at home.

Hope you all have been well too. I will do my best to post more regularly but I'm not promising anything! Im having too much fun with my family!

I'm still here!!

Hello once again

I have been meaning to get back and write some more for a long time. But to be honest blogging is not a priority in my life at the moment! We have soo much going on. I know its easy to say "I've been busy", well I have and I haven't... some days are lazy some aren't. I'm enjoying my time with my children while I still have one for each arm and one leg for each to sit on. Though baby 3 is taking up a fair bit of my lap!!

Just a quick rundown of the last couple of months:
Househunting and viewings

Holidays in Kota Kinabalu

Family birthdays

House buying
Catching up with friends
Trying to keep a household in order
Meetings with midwives
Packing up once again!

There's probably more thats happened but thats all I can think of right now. So here are our last couple of months in pictures.... Until I write again.. Which will most likey be after we move and all about the prep for this new baby!

Kota Kinabalu - Shangri La Resort's own beach

Our new house!

Oh and finally the answer to my guessing game!

All this and about 36 sultanas were all found under the cushions of my couch!

If I don't laugh...

I might just cry.

I now know why it takes me all day to do the housework or more so, why it is never finished. I can't leave my two monkeys alone for more than 30 seconds. When I do; things like this happen:

It was an almost full tub, big sis styling his hair!

Or this:
 

It was my clean sewing room, (and that was 4 separate playdoh colours she has there).

 And I must mention, Tinkerbell is occupying the big one and the small one is sleeping while I post this! It seems if I leave them to go do something (housework) then I come back to find a bigger mess to clean up! I'm sure 60% of my day is just cleaning up after them and the other 40% is made up of changing and feeding them!

I honestly love the 'Stay at home mum' gig but it is by far the most challening (yet rewarding) role I have ever had! If anyone has tips on balancing child rearing with housework let me know!

And to end this on a positive note how could you not love these faces?



I am still catching up after our little Rock Star Party for Adrian's birthday yesterday, got lots of photos of that to share soon. Now back to the washing! Bye for now...
