24/52




Adventure Boy - looking so grown up. His grommets seem to have gone in well so we're hoping he finds listening (to us and his teacher) a little easier next semester. I had a cold recently and one ear went bung just for a day and it was like being under water, voices sounded so distant and distorted, it was hard realising that that's what it's been like for him, all the time.

Giggle-Bear and Wolfie - my babies asleep in the middle of a busy day. Wolfie is now nearly eighteen weeks old and massive. He spends most of the day with Giggle-Bear and they really are good friends.  Unfortunately, they each prefer each others food. Giggle-bear is now a little walking girl and so proud of herself. She has to stop every so often to give herself claps. She continues to climb everything in sight.

The Extravaganza - up in the fort in the garden, clad in palings from our old fence. We hoped to make it nearly entirely from the old fence, but a lot of the wood was too old.  It's nearly finished now, and is one of the last of the moving-in-things we're doing to the house. It feels so good knowing that next weekend is just for us and that there are no 'house stuff's' to do! Although it has been fun playing with the power tools! The Extravaganza is nearly five but it seems like she's nearly fifteen. "You're not the boss of everything you know, mummy!" "My bedroom, my rules!" "Why should I have to clean my mess? I make the mess, you clean the mess!" Her sentences are sprinkled with "O how fabulous!" That will be divine!" Her enthusiasms are enchanting, the temper tantrums less so.

Joining with Jodi for a portrait of my little ones every most weeks in 2015.

24/52 & 25/52

24/52

1. My Poppet keeping an eye on Peppa Pig, eating a lovely juicy pear in front of the fire. Now it's so cold we've been loving nightly fires. (And have taken to wandering the garden with an axe going... hmmm. Is that tree looking a bit dead? I feel very guilty as one of my favourite books this year has been about tree women... but it's cold!) Also note the fire screen... since moving here we've brought one from Bunnings... and the Sprocket shredded it in an afternoon. My mum got us another from Bunnings... and the Sprocket shredded it in an afternoon. Fail. I like the old stuff better than the new. My mum got this one from ebay, old and sturdy and so far still alive.

2. My Sprocket watching the ipad in front of the fire. Any day now we'll have another tv detox. Any day now. But not till after the kindy holidays...

25/52

1.  My Poppet found herself a leafy, grassy nest.

2. My Sprocket looking so grown up and serious. There have been a few deaths (none in our immediate family) around us, and my Sprocket has been worried about death and heaven all week. Hard concepts for all of us, and we've been giving him lots of cuddles and trying to reassure him.


My laptop is on her last legs (I sat on her... and that was after half her keys went 'misssing') and her memory is full, so uploading photos is a multi-computer and painful process. Last week... I just didn't get round to it. So here's the backlog!

Joining with the wonderful Jodi over at Che and Fidel for a portrait of my kids once a week. Even if some are a little delayed!
