australia day with my babies...

We all decided to hang around at home today. I had been contemplating going into St Kilda and trying to see a movie with Mum. I was thinking maybe Gaye could have minded the boys. Mum was seeing The Lovely Bones and I really would love to see it, I read and loved the book.
Anyway, I'm glad we all decided to stay up here instead it was quiet and restful, as much as can be with Kaisy and LiLi running around.
Eli is off to work tonight de-rigging (is that a word) for The Big Day Out.
Oh actual it's called a load out, that's right.
Only a few days to go until Kaisy starts school. Pics will definitely be up of the big school boy on the day.

somebody can't do this...

Funny pics of Kaisy, with a sleepy LiLi in background.

did i mention we have a little girl?

i couldn't be a happier mum. The boys are great and Zo, an angel.
We are all camped out inside today to avoid the heat outside.
Boys are going stir crazy but I just can't even contemplate getting them all in the car and going somewhere.
Only four more stinkers to go.

Been having a pretty mellow start to the year. Kids have been home from school, Eli has been building his water loop system outside and I have been trying to get some kind of routine happening with Zoe. Still not too good at getting my babies into a sleeping/eating routine. I actually think i need some help with this. Today we went to the school to play, we met Simmone and co, and Celeste walked there with me. Gaye is here helping me this afternoon, and it's all made for a pretty stress-free day... phew, i needed it!

happy new year...

Welcome 2010! Looking forward to a wonderful and fun year with my beautiful family and friends.
We spent New Year's Eve celebrating over at Andrew and Roula's. It was really lovely, intimate and mellow. Roula's family were there and cooked a whole lamb on the spit. It is a little confronting spending the night face to face with a little cooked lamby, enough to make me go vego for sure. But it was quite yummy I must admit.
We all danced around the back while the sky lit up and thundered above us, it was quite awesome.
The kids had a ball and all stayed up to count the new year in, for the first time.
For some reason Liam was quite determined to get everyone to stand in a circle, and I am wondering why it was so important... funny little possum.
Anyway, we all got home and to bed at around 1:30, then spent the day yesterday laying around and taking naps.
A wonderful start to what I am hoping will be a peace filled, enlightened year for all.
