Day 243

31-08-10



Today was fun!
For the past 2 Father's Days Callum has made a hand print painted canvas for Alex.
This year was Kai's first Father's Day and of course he was to make a canvas too.
I think it turned out really well!

Tip: if you do this with young kids (and particularly a baby!), do the painting in the bathroom next to a filled bath ready to go and have your baby naked so once the painting is done you can then put them straight in the bath and clean them up!
It's taken me two years to learn and yes I did it the hard way. ;)

Day 242

30-08-10



This toy truck was given to Callum one Easter from my brother.
Kai has taken a strong liking to it. He plays with it constantly and it's so cute to see him push the truck back and forth. :)

Day 241

29-08-10



I started thinking about the invitations for Kai's Naming and 1st birthday.
We've decided to have a luau themed party and I spent the day googling hibiscus graphics to use.
I won't be surprised if I dream of hibiscuses tonight!

Day 240

28-08-10



I still wasn't feeling well today but it was a beautiful day and I noticed.
Not a cloud in the sky!

Day 239

27-08-10



I wasn't feeling well today so I just played around with my camera.

Day 238

26-08-10



I love this photo.
It looks like Callum is a ventriloquist and Kai is his dummy. lol

Day 237

25-08-10



Another Brotherly moment.

Day 236

24-08-10



Alex moved desks today which meant moving buildings.
This is his new desk (opposite the window).
Apparently he'll be moving again in a few months.

Day 235

23-08-10



Kai has been making a certain face lately.
I managed to capture it today.
This is one of my favourite photos of him so far!

Day 234

22-08-10



Today we went out to Brand Depot to meet Bob the Builder and Wendy.
Callum LOVED them!

Day 233

21-08-10



Who needs fancy toys when you can have so much fun with a spray bottle full of water?
Callum likes to "paint" the fences. lol

Day 232

20-08-10



Did a quick grocery shop today with one of my favourite little people to go shopping with!

Day 231

19-08-10



All 3 of my boys playing house.
Love it!

Day 230

18-08-10



A blur of Callum.
Sometimes that's all I see of him he's running around so fast.

Day 229

17-08-10



I love it when babies sleep with their butt up in the air. lol
Callum never did but Kai's making up for it. :)

Day 228

16-08-10



Budding photographer?
:)

Day 227

15-08-10



Day 226

14-08-10



My boys don't like to leave anyone alone.
Not even my sister and her boyfriend while they eat lunch. lol
(as we have no spare room anymore we had to put our spare bed in the family room.)

Day 225

13-08-10



Day 224

12-08-10



Tomorrow my brother is getting married.
Tonight I helped my very-soon-to-be-sister-in-law set up for the cocktail reception that will be after the ceremony.
Brindabella Room, The Canberra Club.

Day 223

11-08-10



"I was sure I heard the door bell ring..."

Day 222

10-08-10



One word for today:
rain

Day 221

09-08-10



We had a speech therapy session for Callum today.
While he is enjoying the days we have therapy he is progressing very slowly which is frustrating for Alex and I.
Still, I do enjoy seeing Callum have a good time. :)

Day 220

08-08-10



I've never really sat and looked at the ceiling of a shopping mall before.
 Today while Callum played in the kid's playground at Woden Westfield, I found myself checking out the ceiling.
Bored much?

Day 219

07-08-10



Alex's bike is sick. :(
Felt like a total female watching 2 men try to work out what is wrong with it.
I know nothing about motorbikes!

Day 218

06-08-10



I do love the fact that Callum is able to play by and entertain himself.
(I also love the fact that I can sneak up behind him and take photos without him noticing!)

Day 217

05-08-10



Today as I was doing the few dishes that need doing by hand, I let the sink fill while I grabbed something out of the pantry.
When I turned back towards the sink I saw the steam from the hot water in the sunlight.
Of course I grabbed the camera. :)

Day 216

04-08-10



No, I don't lock my children in cupboards.
This is how I found Callum today when he yelled for me to come take a look. lol

Day 215

03-08-10



When Alex rides his bike to work I can always hear when he's nearly home that afternoon even if he's a few blocks away.
Today Callum and I raced outside (me armed with the camera) to the driveway to meet him as he got home.
:)

Day 214

02-08-10



I noticed today that spring is definitely on it's way.
It made me pretty excited actually!

Day 213

01-08-10



Callum is a copy cat.
He loves to copy things you do and will insist on doing what you're doing.
For me he insists to 'tone & moisturise' his face when he catches me doing my own and Alex shaving is no different. lol
(obviously Alex isn't really shaving Callum's face. He's using the back of the razor. Completely safe!)
