Mum's and bubs art day... so much fun!

Well yesterday we had our first mums and bubs art day... it was so much fun! We were all there except Emma and Koops who unfortunately couldn't make it, next time they have to come as we missed them!

Well there was paint and babies everywhere, canvases being filled with lots of bright colours and then at the end lots of dirty baby wipes. We all had so much fun! Natalie didn't bring Hungry Jacks this time but she did however want her lar-dee-dar colour of 'avocado' made for her awesome painting she did with Logan. She is a crack up, she makes me laugh so much!

I cooked beef fajita's for everyone and they were so yummy, we had softdrinks and lots of biscuits and cakes etc. Man, so much food left over to eat! Marlee had a ball being covered in paint. Jorja was such a great help all day for me and everyone, she helped me clean the house even before everyone came over, it was so great! Marlee got so pumped to do them too which was great, I still think I was more excited then her though with painting hehe...

It was so hilarious watching the kids get cleaned in the back yard under the hose (Lachy even fell asleep with paint all over himself in his pram). The bubba's all looked so darn cute!

Definitely a great day! We will definitely do it again soon.

I am off now, cya! :)

Marlee swims in the lagoon

Well yesterday was a blast! My sister Jorja and I took Marlee for a swim at the Redcliffe Lagoon which was soooo much fun! We swimmed for a fair while too and Marlee didn't even crack it! We even dunked her in the water. She is a ball of laughs now. She copies some things you do to show her. For example slapping the water to make splashes, blowing raspberries (it was the funniest thing her learning this off Chewy last night, we were in stitches of laughter!). Man it was the BEST DAY YET I reckon, apart from when she was born :)

Well I am off as I have lots of things to do before we get outta the house today to do lots of jobs. I am going to buy the paint today for the mums and bubs art day I am organising for next week which will be loads of fun I am sure.

Oh and yesterday Aunty Charlie painted Marlee Moo's toes, it was the cutest thing to see , I have added a pic to show them off, haha... Chewy actually thought they looked cute, I didn't think he would like them actually and he did!

Buy for now.... oh and links to my videos are added below!

It's official: I AM ADDICTED!!!

Well it is official as of NOW! I am addicted to looking at other people's blogs online. I keep checking out people's pages and find links to so many more pages that I check out and LOVE! I feel so inspired (and jealous at the same time) that all these creative mums are doing all these wonderful products for others to buy. I need to get my own arse into gear and make some stuff. I have been thinking of making the flags like are in my babies room that my mum made. While I was hunting around other people's websites/blogs I found a patter for one that I am going to try. Least then I have it all written down on how I do it. Will give it a go. All I need now is a ruler thing to cut it all straight and stuff.... my WISH LIST is just getting bigger and bigger.... better get going, I can hear Marlee Moo wriggling and stretching and grunting (and now sooking/waking up crying)... bye for now!
