Today was an absolutely beautiful day with glorious warm sunshine! Noah had a HUGE morning nap and then after some baking time, we headed of to find a new park to play in! We found one and it was AMAZING!! Both boys loved it, and there was lots of fun had by all!
Noah, the rough tough little mite, had a little too much fun and ended up biting though his bottom lip! It bled EVERYWHERE!! However, It stopped quickly and he recovered fast! Within 5 minutes he was up and running for the playground again!
Before heading home we decided to go on a wee adventure! So we blindly followed a boardwalk that took us off into the bush! What a beautiful wee walk we had! Noah and Josiah LOVED all the birds and tall trees and ed and i enjoyed that gorgeous smell that you can find nowhere other than the NZ bush!
While we were at the park having "just one more play mummy" i was very VERY saddened to see two mummies sitting of the park bench in the middle of the playground with their children clinging to their legs, an alcoholic drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other!!! The poor kiddies were getting smoke blown into their faces and then when mummy had enough they were told to "go and play you little faggots". Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad. I know it i harsh, but some people just do NOT deserve to be mummies!!!!

Magic Mummy Days!!!
What a fab mummy day i have had!!
Josiah and i went on a mummy and me date this morning!! We went to the movies to see HOP and then got mc donalds for lunch!

Next on the list of activities: 10 pin bowling!! He cant wait and truthfuly, neither can i!
After the fun, we came home and enjoyed some family time playing bowling on the wii, baking and hanging out!!
My wonderful man made me the very best washing drying device in the WORLD! It is a washing line on a pully and hangs above our fire!! Its amazing!! It is being tested by the raging fire tonight - Cant wait to see how it goes!!
Please someone tell me i am not the only one who is so completly consumed by her kiddies that she needs to be near them ALL the time?? I adore my boys soooooo much!! I cant WAIT to see them in the morning and a LOT lately if there is something on telly about kiddies that is sad, i pull them into bed with me all night! Weird? Maybe. In love with my babies? YES!!!

Back in the game!
It has been forever and a day since i got on here and spilled my guts to the wonderful online world!
I dont even know where to begin to catch up from the past few months!
Mr6 is getting so very grown up, hes doing incredibly well at school and becoming such a wonderful young man! Hes so soft and gentle with his brother, so creative and imaginative and becoming increasingly helpful!
The younger Mr is now mr 1!! Hes soooo big!! He is sarting to take his first few wobbly attempts at walking, has 16 teeth and can even say a few words!
We have been very boring the last few months, just lots of school, family time and just being us.
There is one big change in our family!! I am PREGNANT!!!!! 6 weeks and 5 days today!! It was a very easy conception - 1st cycle off the pill!! Estimated due date is 13 december!! I have just seen the midwife and am booked for a scan at 8 weeks!! We are thrilled!!
The past few weeks have been incredibly tough. Both the kids came down with what we thought were colds, turns out it was much much more than that! Mr6 ended up with a

Its been WAY too long................
Good morning boys and girls!!
It has been a good few weeks since i last posted on here!! I will blame it on the fact i have been busy with family and the kiddies over the holiday! (In actual fact its because i am lazy!!)
I hope you all had an amazing christmas! We sure did! Both J and N were super spoilt and it was a great time catching up with all of the family!! Christmas day was a beautifuly quiet day with Mr mums parents, opening presents, eating, sleeping and playing!
Boxing day was crazy fun with ALL of my family! And if you know my family, you know that is not a small affair!! =P
Once the dust settled and J was back from nanas house we have had a gorgeously quiet holidays, a lot of staying at home, playing and swimming! Even new years was a quiet night with the kids and 2 of my brothers comming to visit! Absolute bliss!!
On monday we went to the bach for my mums birthday and to take the new boat out, YAY WE GOT ONE, only the boat decided not to start!! Mr mum was devestated, but it meant that the kids and i got a nice long swim in the estuary, which was as warm as bath water!
J got an award at school for accademic effort, so we are SUPER proud of him for that and even took him up the sky tower!! What a blast that was!!
N, who is now 9 months!!, had been a shocking sleeper the last few week, going to bed fine but waking an hour later and wanting to play until midnight! So, after trying everything, and i mean everything, else, we decided that he was having too much daytime sleep! So yesterday we gave him an earlier afternoon nap and made him stay up until bedtime. What do you know??, sucsess!! He slept 7pm to 7am!! YAY!!! Mr mum and i even got to watch a movie in peace!! So today we will be holding him out so that he only has one big nap for the day! It might be hard work, but i have a feeling it will be worth it!!
The countdown to our summer holiday, camping at the beach, is on!! Only 9 more sleeps!! We are very much looking forward to sun, sand, salt, tenting, cooking on the gas cooker, swimming in the ocean ect!!
Well, the kids are about to kill each other so i had better love and leave you!

Busy bits and peices!!
Well, i have been a bit slack on posting this week, i cant believe its thursday night already!!
Just a wee update on the week!!
Sunday we went to my little sisters 3'rd birthday party and got to catch up with all the extended family! Was sooooo special to meet my cousins new wee baby girl!! We left N with his nana and went off for a relax on the beach! Mr mum went body boarding and J had a TON of fun beating up his uncles!! After a long drive home with a brand new fish, the kids crashed. J with a high temperature and seeming very unwell! Just a touch of sunstroke we think.
Monday was spent cruising around home and going on a wee drive with daddy to do a few things in town, much needed after a busy weekend!
Tuesday was spent at home too, only we went a wee bit early to pick up J from school to help his teacher do some end of year jobs! She has done sooooooo much for J this year, i wanted to give something back. J jas gone from being on the reading recovery list to being top of the class in just 6 months!! Most of which we accredit to him having an amazing teacher!! I am even going to find her a xmas pressie!!
J has his end of year prize giving next tuesday night, and his teacher has asked that we be there, so i am suspicious the J may be getting some for of award! How amazing!!!
Wednesday was FANTASTIC!! We had the coffee group christmas party with N and all his wee friends!! He dressed up as santa and had sooooo much fun!!! Here are some snaps!!
Afterwards we had a lovely lunch with 2 amazing friends!!
Today!!! Well, where do a start!!?? Mr mum took the day off and we went CRAZY cleaning!! The whole place got a total spring clean!! Sheets, windows, cleaning out cupboards, sorting linen cupboards, cleaning out the panty..... the list goes on and on!!
After school we had a lovely playdate with some friends from J's school. The kids were in bed by 6 for the 3rd time this week!! And i got to finish up the cleaning! LOL!
This weekend we are taking care of a friends little girl from tomorrow at lunch time until sunday sometime! J is sooooo excited to have his best friend to play for the weekend! We have a busy weekend planned, including a movie night, mini golf, paddleing in the pool at the park and the santa parade!! I dont know who will be more exhausted, them or me!!
Well i better go have a shower and get some sleep!! Baking, shopping and a fun playdate with another amazing friend are in store for tomorrow!! Oh and J is peforming at school assembly doing a kapahaka!!
Xoxo

Gearing up for the big guy!!
Ok, before i begin, lets make sure we all understand that the big guy is Santa!! =P
This week has been a week full of Christmas preparations! The tree went up, the lights came out and all the children's presents were purchased! And even more exciting, the kids began their advent calendars!! For DS6 (who from now on shall be known as J) it was something he had been looking forward to for weeks, striking days off the calendar and begging me daily to open it for him! For DS8months (who shall now be known as N) it was a strange intriguing ritual that he didn't quite understand, that is until the 1st piece of chocolate began melting in his mouth! The huge grin and dark brown dribble that followed said all he needed to say! Now when he sees his "wot wots" come out, he claps his hands on his legs and bounces up and down!! What an amazing discovery!!
N has decided this week that he FINALLY likes vegetables, just as long as mummy flavors them with salt and pepper!! I am rather excited to say the least!! He is beginning to eat a lot more food and his milk intake is slowly dwindling, probably a bit early but much needed anyways.
What a lovely sunny Saturday today was! We had friends pop over and a birthday party to attend!! Fantastic fun! When i woke this morning to another glorious day and realized that i didn't have to rush of to do the school run, hope and a million possibilities ran through my head! Its funny, i have always felt guilty to be excited over the weekends as i am not working out of the home. However recently i came to realize that they joy of weekends is not only for the working people who get a few days break, but for families to rejoice in each others company, complete tasks around the home and enjoy some quality time with the children!
We are taking a day off the farm tomorrow (a much needed and hard to come across occurrence) to take the boys to their aunties 3rd birthday party! An hour and a half after bedtime J is finally asleep after all the excitement!! And mum and dad are looking forward to going for a wander along the beach and taking a dip in the ocean!
Well, better get some sleep, long day tomorrow!
Pray for rain for us! We sure need it!

Bit and peices of my mind!!
What a fabulous day i have had today! I was dreading having to spend the day with the ratbags at home without a car. But one of my bestest besties picked all 3 of us up and off we went shopping!! It was perfect!! I even got my very first Christmas decoration for the year! Two GORGEOUS snow globes for the kiddies and some fairy lights for a door frame!
I cant believe its the first of December already!! Where in the heck has this year gone!?? It only seems like yesterday that DS8months was born and our roller coaster of reflux began! Now today, hes completely medication free and thriving beautifully!
Solids are ever a struggle with this young man!! He will not eat vegetables and never ever has 3 proper meals! He would live just off milk if he could! Little rat bag!
Isn't it funny how 1 moment you are ready to throttle them, when they are grizzling and crying and driving you crazy, then it only takes 1 smile, one "mumma", one snuggled up sleepy cuddle and all is right with the world again.
1st day of summer today!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love summer!! Beaches and swimming pools and jandles and sun kissed skin and picnics and strawberries and watermelons and pineapples and ices coffees and sunscreen smell and pretty dresses!! What are your favorite summer "words"!!??
Noahs paddling pool got used for the 1st time today!! What an exciting moment!!! He sat in there with a bunch of matchbox cars for over and hour!! I had to take him out kicking and screaming because he had goosebumps!!!!
We are looking at buying a boat!! How exciting!! We have found an amazing one for only $2000!! We just have to wait until Saturday morning to see it!!
Poor Mr Mum is really stressed at the moment. The farm has stopped growing grass. Its soooooo dry and hot that theres just not enough moisture to make it grow.
I have decided that Mr Mum and i need to spend more 1 on 1 time together. We do not have a babysitter we can ask so its going to have to be at home. Anyone have some amazing "at home" date ideas??
DS6 is back off to school tomorrow and i know its awful, but i cant wait! He is soooo full on when he isnt at school because he just isnt drained enough by his day!! And even better, i get to go christmas shopping for HIM!!!
We also rearranged the lounge today!! It looks fabulous!! Theres sooo much more room and its a lot more open for the summer! It got me thinking that i needed to get a "things im working on" list going and what better place to put it, than on here!! So here goes!!!
24 days to go!!
