Security?

Caleb and I just walked in to the study. There is a baby blanket laying over his keyboard. I figure he isn't concerned about dust, so . . .

Caleb, why is there a blanket over your computer?

So Zali can't see it and she won't touch any of my buttons.

(quiet snigger from Mummy here).

Daddy walks in. I share the story with him and we both have a little snigger.

Daddy says 'is that so Zali won't touch your computer, mate?'

Yep.

Do you think she is silly, Caleb?

Yep.

Lovely Cuddles

What a week. First half of the week I was burning the candle at both ends with early starts and late finishes. The Husband was away for work and The Mother had training at work until 8.30pm. I was pretty pooped by the end of each day - got some good routines going, had to get my little soldiers into a pattern.

The second half of the week just flew by with bad bad headaches and a slight infection to suffer through. Griffy has been crook and is left currently with a runny nose. Caleb has picked up a cough and a bit of a runny nose. Zali, well, at the moment she seems generally healthy.

Today we had some visitors. One of them looks like this:

Sheree, David, Campbell, Finn and Bubby Nicholas spent the day. Was lovely to see them all. Was very lovely to have some little Bubby Nicholas cuddles. A rainy day isn't the most appropriate day to have a house full of kids!

annual play day

Today was my Husband's works' Annual Family Day. The staff get together with their families for a fun day. Food, drinks, rides and face painting . . .

And this little treasure took a nap!

Their favourite was the jumpy castle. They had this one for the smaller kids with blow up horses to ride/bounce.

Beautiful day here in the gorgeous Brisbane sunshine.

Pop

If we were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters.


Hmmm. I thought this was funny.

6

Honestly. Who's hair-brain idea was it to try and get a 'good' photo? Six kids? Cripes, it is hard enough to get one to play nice for the camera. This is the six cousins, as at today. Bunch of raggamuffins!

Different

Three seconds spare - am heading towards the kettle actually - and I wanted a quick reminder of what my little Griffy looked like when he was born. Initial baby photos always show the pudgy squashed face that occurs at birth. The difference a few days later when things settle down is quite remarkable. I am wondering what Nicholas looks like now without the pudge.

Stumbled upon this one from October 2008 and I was really *seeing* how each child looks different. I saw the eyes. My two on the left have blue eyes. Sheree's two on the right have dark brown eyes. Quite a contrast. I don't think I have really noticed this before.

My little Griffy was 4 days old. Sniff. Seems like a life time ago.
