Yes I know it has been awhile...But the dedicated Blogger in me is now a Dedicated Mummy! I must turn the PC off and only have limited time here and there on it or it seems to consume my precious time.
But not much to share has been another reason for no posts from me. Life is good,Incredibly busy and pretty mundane and normal.
With December approaching everyone gets the Christmas crazy's but I have three of the 6 of us with Birthdays and a wedding interstate this year so very Madley busy!
My Baby boy is 9months now (sob,sob,sob) He is blowing raspberries and making Brrrr Brrrrr noises right here as I type.He is amazingly cute and charming.
This picture is a recent one after a long day In and out with kinder and school drop off's pick up's...Poor Bubba Was exauhsted!
My Daughter wants a party for her 5th birthday so I am trying to work out something fun and entertaining but at home that prefferably can be done in advance...Huh! Easier said than done.
We are going to have a treasure hunt but wow I need ideas...So clever bloggers help!
I wish some of you amazing cooks lived nearby...:)
As she does'nt much like cake I am doing a Icecream cake but as the skirt of a doll...Like the dolly varden cakes...But Ice cream! Hope it works and the idea in my head comes out in real life as well as my minds eye see's it!
On the home front...
Finally after three years we have our vegie gardens done...I love to look out at the little garden beds growing away happily in the sunshine....Below you can see our hens and our 'adopted" Polish bantam rooster Named Duster,He came to live with us after a friend could'nt keep him.
The kids call him the 'rockstar" chook because of his Punk rocker hair -do! ...:)
Other news is we have a Peacock! ...He is a young male named 'Andre"...Also needed rehoming so Here we have him!
I love the color schemes and the room. I won't show the huge robe as it is a mess for now.
( The birth of our little man earmarked many changes and our plans and directions changed suddenly).
Hubby is loving being back to working for himself and us as a Family are reaping the rewards of a Happy Daddy!
So anyway better go...Am still reading along and lurking most of you and my fav blogs...Take care

Lovely to catch up on all your news....your garden beds look great, your new room, your PEACOCK! and life as a busy mum...and that sleeping boy, so wish he was asleep on my couch..x
Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy!
Get those little five year olds making princess crowns or making little treasure boxes with gems and stuff...I find a craft activity, a treasure hunt and pass the parcel plus eats makes the party go quick and fun....
Oh my goodness your little man has got quite a bit bigger and he is gorgeous!! How peaceful they look when they are sleeping..that is agreat photo.
Love your chookies and my most favourite bird of all is a peacock so I am a bit jealous.
Five is agreat age for a birthday party I think...before the party guests get too much attitude.
Tea parties are always fun...if you are game let them decorate their own cupcakes...or make face biscuits with milk arrowroot biccies, some icing and lollies. Let them have little tea pots to pour their drinks with maybe and yes a treasure hunt..make them find the treasure and bring it back to you to get a prize means that it is fair for everyone..maybe you could hide teaspoons.. pin the spout on the tea pot is good...musical statues...pass the parcel ( pass the teapot if you have one of those great big toy tea pots you could wrap little gifites and pop them in there...if it is hot and you can do some water play ( only the smallest amount of water)..you could have two teams each with their own tea pot ( or container) to fill down one end and down the other end...where they start from you have a bucket of water and a small container...medicine glass,half cup measure or something and one at a time ( relay) a team member from each team has to fill up the small container and walk it carefully to put in their teams teapot, then they run back and hand it to the next person. Team to fill up their teapot first wins..phfeww are you tired already..long reply sorry but these are my thing! hehe
Kiss Noises Linda ( so nice to read from you again too)
You post made me giggle, I'm exactly the same! My little girl is 11 months now and I can't do the whole blogging thing when she is there!
It's great to catch up!
Your little boy is getting big and sounds like a little character!
So lovely to have you pop back into blogland... even if only occasionally so we can hear all your news and see the little punks.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Congrats on your little man!! He is adorable and I love his Thomas shoes!! You certainly sound like you have your hands full. Taking on other peoples' pets doesn't help matters either, does it??!!?? : ) You're so sweet to take them in and give them a good home. I can't even begin to imagine having a peacock in my yard!!!! Welcome back and I look forward to seeing more photos of the baby!! XOXO

Hello again! Wow, it does sound like you have been busy and will be right up to Christmas. I think you have seen the teacup made with Tic Toc biscuits and marshmallows but have a look at these cute little Teddy Race Cars! So adorable and easy to make (I think!).
