Add cocopops and coat them in the marsbars/butted mix

you can refrigerate if you want but we leave it to set on the bench for about 15min (to cool down)

OUR NEWS!!

   Some of you may have seen this on fb already but since I have been such a bad bad bloggedy blogger  but we have big news!! oh yeah baby that is baby #3 on the way!! I am gonna back date so that they are in some sort of chronological order!!

 

So now you can kinda see why my blogging has gotten behind and my fb seems to be kinda up to date. My new little wriggle bean has been keeping me under the weather and it has taken all that I can be and do to take your beautiful images that you have trusted me to take and make sure that they get to you!

 

So in the next few weeks now that I have a clearer head and much less morning sickness and first trimester HOLY MOLY"’s we should be heading back to more regular programming!!

today…

was the day that I had to get out in the sunshine. All week I have been working really hard on getting a gallery up and the child care photos ready to give to parents. Tyler has been awesome – it helps that he is addicted to the DS. Bad mama I know letting him play so much but today I had so much to do and I was stoked to say I got it done. BUT we needed a time out. The sun was marvellous today. The weather was beautiful so Ty and I picked Caden up from school and headed to the park. I haven't worked on many pics (ok just one) but honestly I think it is a favourite.

 

We had a fabulous time at the park! And then got a message saying Daddy was home early from work!! even better! So today was a good day!

Happy birthday baby boy!!

I cannot believe that Tyler has turned 5! How time flies so fast – from such a tiny thing that had a huge voice he has become a big boy that constantly eats, never stops and loves endlessly. Oh did I mention never stops talking?! in the lead up to today all he wants was a DS..

and since he is mad for Angry birds on the ipod – I found a few patterns and made him a set…

 and G’ma and Papa got him a big pig

 

Tyler Caden and Daddy are mad for Star Wars – the clone wars is a week night just before bed tradition in our house hold. Guess What Caden bought for Ty?

 

yep a set of light sabers!

Our budding Master Chef’s got a kitchen that has kept them occupied!

and a little bit of lego and a World Series baseball T-shirt from America as well! (Thanks Aunty Jo and Uncle Matt, Miss C and Miss A!)

So all in all the munchkin was spoiled rotten for his 5th birthday!

 

Stay tuned for party time!

today we…

Started the day going insane. This cold cold cold weather is so not nice. We are day 3 into holidays and being cooped up inside is so not good for sanity sake – especially when little brother just wants to play with big brother who wants some quiet time.

Anyhoo we went shopping – got some really cool shoes for the boys (perfect for photos), a new shirt, some coloured paper and drawing stuff.

 

Thank goodness that new textas+ new notebooks = content kiddos for a while.

Caden did these… Tyler did this…

so we made some origami..

our ladybirds and our ghost

 

at kids request over the last couple of days we made cookies…

fairy cookies jam drops chocolate chip (milk and white chocolate)

and dinner was lasagna… yum!

then we finished with jokes, giggles and snuggles this child of mine thinks it is funny to get in really close where usually I cant get the shot. haha joke is on him tonight as I had the right lens on :)

 

so that is our. all in all a pretty good day. much improved from yesterday when I was so over the day by about 3pm.

 

Oh nearly forgot to mention – I am  such a mean Mama – I made C do a journal writing exercise tonight too. He did really well. needed prompting to expand on “we went to the shops” but I am happy with what he did.
