Day 140

 20-05-10



Callum discovered the movie 'Cars' today.
He loves it so much he can use the potty while watching. lol

Day 139

 19-05-10



Alex, Callum and I were outside this evening moving the rabbit pen to a fresh patch of grass.
There's a huge tree in our backyard which has finally started to turn its leaves catching up with the rest of the trees around with it being autumn.
There is a mass of newly fallen leaves underneath the big tree and it had Callum in awe.
He learnt what happens to leaves after explaining it to him and he was proudly telling Alex that there will be new leaves in spring.
Gotta love that boy! :)

Day 138

 18-05-10



We did a tiny craft project today.
Happened on a whim and I guess seeing as I managed to trace Kai's hand (and hold a crayon in his hand for him to 'colour' it in. lol) I decided to go with it and I insisted Alex make one of his hand.
I had to smile when I saw him drawing and colouring the Chevrolet bowtie.
Such an Alex thing to do!
Once I get some cardboard I'll be mounting the hands properly.
Unless I frame them.
Hmmmm...

Day 137

 17-05-10



Kai is 7 months today!
Believe it or not he was actually super happy in this photo.
He's definitely found his voice. lol
 

Day 136

 16-05-10



Dismantled carport arrived by trailer. (super long trailer! 6 metres!)
The carport is going up behind our garage for some extra work space for Alex.
When that's going to happen though is anyone's guess.
Alex needs to get over the 2 full days of taking the thing down to think about putting it back up!
Men and their wonderful ideas...

Day 135

 15-05-10



Dismantling a carport means having fun with an angle grinder. :)

Day 132

 12-05-10



My baby boy is getting too big too fast.
Please slow down!
I must say though, he's growing into such a handsome little person!
(I could be a little biased though. lol)

Day 131

 11-05-10



I have a bit of a grumpy baby today so I'm seizing the chance to post today's photo while I get the chance.

Callum and I made a banana and blueberry cake today.
First time adding the blueberries so no idea how it'll taste.
But what kid doesn't enjoy licking out the bowl?
Call me a big kid cause I love doing it too. :)

Day 130

 10-05-10



Kai has his very first tooth!
I honestly believe it cut through yesterday but I hadn't felt his gums at all then so have just noticed it today.
My baby boy is growing up way too fast. :(
But check out those gorgeous peepers with long eyelashes!!
♥

Day 129

 09-05-10



We went to the 'Mother's Day Party In The Park' today in Glebe Park.
Us 4 met up with Alex's mum and step-dad, my parents, my brother and his fiancée, and my 2 nieces.
This was a joke photo.
Just a random "oh hey, there's my brother."
ZOOM.SNAP.
But looking at all the photos I took today on my laptop I thought it was kinda neat.
You can see what the event was like in the reflection of my brother's glasses.
:)

Day 128

 08-05-10



A much needed trip to the tip today to get rid of leaves, prunings and other garden waste that's been piling up.
I'm still hoping for the day when Canberra will decide to give everyone a green bin to use.
Would make every Canberran's lifestyle a whole lot easier.

Day 127

 07-05-10



RAHHHH!!
I'm a scary vampire/werewolf person!!
=)

Day 126

 06-05-10



Bath time!!

Day 125

 05-05-10



I know it's not a great photo but if I don't post this I have nothing else.
I still think it's kinda cool and am itching to get some more practice in.
f/7.1
ISO-400
30 sec exposure
Would adore to do a longer exposure and see what it would look like.
btw, if you don't know what you're looking at, that is the Southern Cross constellation.
The same constellation that is on the Australian flag. ;)

Day 124

 04-05-10



Watching the storm roll in.
And wow did it ever!

Day 123

 03-05-10



There is rain forecasted tomorrow and I desperately needed to do washing today.
Unfortunately I started too late in the day so I'm having to dry it in front of the fire.
This is 3 loads.
I think now we're a family of 4 a 3rd clothes rack is needed as you can see by how creative I've had to be to get everything on the 2 I have.
Already though half of it is dry.
I'm kinda liking having a fireplace. :)

Day 122

 02-05-10



Lazy Sunday spent doing a bit of shopping and a stop into the Parents Room at the Canberra Centre.
:)

Day 121

Words just cannot express how much I love this kid.
