Pumpkin Carving!

Today we carved pumpkins! This year the kids were not anywhere near as grossed out by the goop as they were the last time we carved them, and were even telling Miss Emily's best friend Olivia to "just scoop it out with your hands!"

 Little Miss Penelope was kind of cranky so she had a bottle and went to bed, and the rest of us set about making Pumpkin faces!

The adorable Miss Siena was very interested in what was going on, that is until she got sidetracked finding other things to make mischief with! Well....she is a toddler of course!


No, Marny really isn't going to murder anyone with that knife......

Miss Emily scooping out her 'gunk'
Miss Siena quite enjoyed seeing what she could get into while no one was looking!
The Boy just needed a little help but he got most of it out himself
The Social One getting her hands dirty
Twin looks of concentration from Marny and Olivia
Miss Siena looking oh so innocent with those gorgeous blue eyes

Then Little Miss Penelope woke up, and was kind of confused as to why she was sitting next to a pumpkin!

Marny and Miss Olivia with their creations! One is wicked, one is drunk ;)

The Boy and his, that he did pretty much all by himself


The Boy is very proud of the creations!



 So all in all we had a fun afternoon, and I can't wait to see them all lit up tomorrow night! :)

2013, A Look Back

Image
Today is a stay at home do nothing kind of day - I don't even plan on getting out of my pj's. And so as I sit here and reflect on the past year it occurs to me that it has been pretty full on! So I thought I'd do a post on what happened, month by month. So much can change in 12 months, it's interesting to look back and remember things.....I wonder what 2014 will bring? January ...saw as it always does, Miss Emily's birthday and mine as well as a big cross country move! On the way Penelope gave us quite the scare before we knew she was Penelope that is, and proved to us that she really is destined to be a superhero!   My Dad and The Awesome One packing our shipping container for the move Driving across the Nullarbor Plain on the way to Western Australia February came and we found out that our Little Lord Nibbler was actually going to be Little Lady Nibbler! The kids started school for the year, The Awesome One set up my art studio and I star...

Sleeping All Night and Other Updates!

It's been a little while since I posted on here so to make up for it you get to see Penelope in action! I'll have a few videos of the Little Miss later in the post so you can see her giggle and play. So on to what's been happening around here the last week or so: well.....last night was a momentous occasion! Or should I say this morning? Little Miss Penelope slept all night for the very first time!!! Yep, that's right. I got a full 7 hours sleep in a row for the first time in over 6 months! I did wake around 5:30am and peered over into her cot from my bed. I could see her starting to stir a little so I closed my eyes and went back to blissful slumber and the next thing I knew it was 6:30am and she was happily talking to herself, wide awake and smiling. She was happy to have big cuddles with her brother when he got up. It was very exciting, so excuse me while I relish in the moment of what a full nights' sleep actually feels like! The Eldest One has ta...

Goodbye 2015

Image
Well it's the very last day of 2015. Time to reflect on the year that's behind and ponder on the year that is to come.  2015 was a difficult year and one I am happier than normal to see the back of. There have been so many opportunities over the last twelve months for me to say "why me?". And in all honesty, there have been so many times where I just couldn't cope. My mental energy to deal with all the assorted crap that has been thrown, was zapped and useless. This year more than any other, has seen me falter in my normal optimism and cheerfulness. I have hidden myself away, I have cried and I have sunk into some pretty deep black holes.  I don't need to go into details of what went on; those who need to know, know. And for those who don't know, just trust me when I say that we've dealt with some very serious and heavy (for want of a better word) stuff. And it's been exceptionally difficult.  But you know what? I'm okay. I ...
