While I absoultely love decking out my children in awesome clothes - I secretly can’t wait until they choose their own so then when people question what they are wearing all the blame goes on them :P

Also how do you guys always have your children dressed so nicely? Do you spend a million dollars or are you just super awesome at outfit co-ordination?

Edit: You all have such awesome ideas (and modesty too :P ). I think half my problem is I see something that i think is cute, buy it and then don’t think about what he/she is going to wear with it. So when I go through their clothes for the next season I am stuck with all this random stuff which separably look adorable but put together a bit weird. I’ll work on it. 

Sometimes I just get filled with this overwhelming sadness that I am never going to be pregnant again. Never going to hold my own tiny newborn again. And I cry

Friday 8th Feb 2013

Today has not been a good day. Eddie, Emma and I are all on the tail end of a cold/flu thing. I am glad we are feeling better but so much snot! Marc let me have a bit of a lay in as he dealt with the children which was awesome. But then I had to get up and take over because we had a massive to do list today. He started working on that before he had to head into work for a 3 hour shift.

After Marc left I managed to get Emma to sleep so I spent some one-on-one time with Mr Edward. It was awesome. We played with some new Buzz play dough - purple play dough and a buzz stamper impression thing that he got for Christmas from Nanny. He ran into the kitchen and asked for ‘eat eat’. Started getting his lunch together and as I was buttering his cruskit I heard a container break.

I turned around and he has dropped the wholegrain mustard jar and it had smashed everywhere. I got quite cross at him and kicked him out of the kitchen and then he started crying. He tried to come back into the kitchen and I groused some more on him before realising that his foot was bleeding! Well I instantly felt like the worst person ever. While I went to pick him up I realised I had also cut my foot. As I carried Eddie into the bathroom to try and work out if there was glass in his foot or if it was just cut his screaming woke up Emma so then she was screaming at the top of her lungs too!

I couldn’t get Eddie to stay still long enough for me to have a proper look at his foot. There was a lot of blood and he was stressed. I gave him some chocolate to calm him (I know naughty Mummy!!) and then had a look at my foot. There was a decent size chunk of glass poking out and I couldn’t get it out with the tweezers. Had a quick look at Eddie’s foot again and still couldn’t get a clear idea of what was going on with him. So I quickly looked up Marcs work number and rang to ask him to come home so we could all go to the drs.

By the time he got there I had managed to settle Miss Emma, get the bit of glass out of my foot and decided that Eddie’s foot was just cut and nothing to worry about. Thank goodness. Marc got Eddie some salt water to put his soft in (he had been walking around the carport with the cut) and cleaned up the glass/mustard from the kitchen. Then he headed back to work. I fed Eddie and Emma and took some cute photos. Eddie loved his little tub of salt water and I enjoyed them both being happy!

I figured I had better get him showered before nap time so led him to the bathroom. It was a fight to get him in and he spent the first few  minutes crying. I quickly washed Emma and myself so I could get us all out. Ofcourse by the time I was done Eddie was loving the shower and didn’t want to get out. So I turned the water down to just a drizzle and left him there while Emma and I got dry and changed (it is just the next room over). All of a sudden he starts screaming at the top of his lungs and I race in (after making sure Miss Emma can’t roll off the bed) and see that he has rubbed soap all over his eyes. His face was covered in bubbles.

I sat him on the bench to clean it up and the poor little guy just kept re-rubbing soap into his eyes every time I got it clean. He was so sad. He cried and cried for ages. Finally got him to settle down and sent him to his cot for a nap.

Luckily for me the rest of the afternoon went much smoother. I still think this is one of the worst days we have had together in a very long time. Grr! Photos to come soon :)

They all say “it’s hard but I wouldn’t trade it for the world” but sometimes it’s harder than they make it out to be and you have days like these. I wouldn’t trade it for the world but sometimes I just want to pack a bag and leave in the middle of the night even if it means I only make it two steps down the sidewalk

I loved this part! I think nearly all mums can relate but it seems to be the dirty little secret that none wants to talk about.

Haircut Time! Eddie did so well with this haircut (and his last one). I don’t think I have managed to get photos of this process before and I am glad I finally got to. He did really well but I think that had a lot to do with his donut ;) 10 Jan 2013

Today I got some me time. I got up with Mr Edward around 7.30. Marc woke at 8am. I handed him Emma and then went back to sleep. I got to sleep for about 2 hrs before getting up and getting ready to have some time with my sisters. I left home around 11 and then didn’t come back til about 4.30. It was really nice hang some time with both my sisters sans children. I did miss them but I knew they were completely safe with their Daddy. Us girls got our hair done, did a small amount of shopping (started on Emma’s winter wardrobe) and then had some yummy Italian lunch (with the worse service I have ever had in my life). 04 Jan 2013

PS. Not I didn’t get my hair dies like this I am just currently growing out the last time I died it :)

Emma’s first beach trip! It did not surprise me in the least that she was not a fan of it. She is not very big on water in general. She did let me sit with her in the creek with her legs in the water just a little. Eddie on the other hand had an absolute ball. He splashed in the water, played with dad and collected sea shells. It was a pretty good day! 03 Jan 2013 View high resolution

Photography.

For the longest of times I have absolutely photography. I have always wanted to be a wedding photographer but have never had the confidence in my self.

I noticed a few months ago that the style of photographs I like of others has changed. Tonight while going through the last couple of days of pictures I am proud. I honestly believe that I am improving, and am at least confident in taking pictures that I 100% love now.

I am proud.

Santa pictures

Secret Santa. A box arrived in the mail. I was super excited. It said amazon on the side and I became very confused - I hadn’t ordered anything from amazon. Turns out if was my present from Tumblr’s Secret Santa. My mood change to ecstatic. You see I was doubtful that I would actually receive anything. Well I waited and waited and waited and had planned on waiting until Christmas day to open it. We has some free time on the 23rd and I just couldn’t help my self. Emma and I opened presents while Eddie napped and when he woke he gleefully tore into his! Since then I have found out that my secret santa was Rebecca from sweetpeafairies. I am so thankful for the wonderful gifts I received. She went above and beyond by also giving gifts to both Emma and Edward. Thank you so much!! View high resolution
