Hmmm, can't think of a clever title...

So...i've been absent again...I should really just make that my stamp to start each post with!  Technically i haven't been completely absent, I've been lurking about finding time to stalk all my fav' blogs...and a few 30 others! 

And since i'm s'posed to be finishing up an order, i'm turning this into a 'to-the-point-in-bullet-point' type post!!

Let's begin!

# My kids ROCK!!  Lachy's just impressing the pants off me with his parroting!!  He's copying what we say, and his fav' movie, and he joins in all the actions on his wiggles dvd too (possibly he just watches Way too much telly) Olly's just a wee speedster, trying desperately to keep up with his brother.  I pulled the old trolley out of the garage last week, to see if he'd stand with it and he just took off across the lounge!!  Clever wee poppets!!

#  Hubbies been catering to my every Pinterest whim and our house and yard (a Whole other post there!) looks like a home!! 

Saw this on pinterest...Man i love pallets!! (It's hiding an ugly bit of MDF that's aiding the wall bracket) Still got to work on hiding the wires!

Saw this on Pinterest too (i spend WAY too much time on there!)  I realise they're around the wrong way, but it makes more sense to me this way!

#  Hands are healing slowly....very slowly.  The pain that i have now though is different, and temporary, so i'm happy!

#  First run this morning in my training for a half next year!! (Damn near died, but i made it in the end!)

#  Our cats still a weirdo.  That's all.

#  Going to check out a play group tomorrow!!  Ridiculously excited to be getting out of the house with the boys!! 

#  In desperate need of some wardrobe updating....Extremely (some may say 'obsessively') attached to my comfy old jeans and hoodies though!! (Paint and resin covered though they may be!)  Might be in need of a thrift store challenge...but i'll let ya know!

#  Added 2 courgettes from my garden to dinner tonight!!  So exciting to have our own produce!!

#  Trying to simplify everything at the mo', so any extra bitties that i don't have time for on my blog will be disappearing!!

So that's us for now!!  One day, many years from now, i will write a real post...Maybe!  Or maybe i should just rename my blog A Life in I-Post-Randomly-Land....

'Not all who wander are lost'

Oh, I have a blog!!

Oh hey, look, a blog!!  Oh wait...that's mine....

So how's everyone going then??  All the kids grown and in college now?  Yeah, since the last time i blogged, Lachy's a dentist and married with 3 kids and Ollys just finished medical school and is starting his first rotation.....  I Kidd!! (and perhaps i dream a little...)

It's definitely time for a catch up and a wee dust off this here blog!!

We're good!!  I can't remember where i left off, but we're all settled into our house (after the country house being a tad water logged 'n all) the gardens and court yard are coming to life, our cat's getting enormous and our beautiful boys.....

Well!!

Lachy's an awesome 2-n-a-bit year old, whose fav' word is 'NO', closely followed by 'tractor'!  He runs, jumps, shrieks, yells, grazes his knees, turns his nose up at every food unless its spaghetti or cottage pie (Or any form of lolly).  He alternates between playing "where's the baby - there he is" to keep his lil' bro happy, to pushing him over, gives him kisses and steals his toys!  He steals my heart every day with his snuggles and cheeky grins, and occasionally he gives me the sweetest lil' 'uv ooo' as he goes to bed!  Manners are being learnt, oh so slowly, but i'm trying to be persistent!

Olly's a 10 month old crawling/standing/trying to walk/dance machine!!  Snuggle? What snuggles?? This kid is constantly wanting to be on the go, not content to just mooch with us like Lachy (unless we have ice cream).  He's still a bit of a chunk, but is starting to thin out like his brother, eats everything but baby food from a can/jar, and loves his water from his sippy cup!  He wants to play with everything and anything, so long as his brother is already playing with it, and has learned to speed crawl to keep up with Lachy.  His fav' place is in or near the cat-food....or the cat.  Such a lil man, ya can't help but love him!!

Both boys sleep through the night 90% of the time, which is just Fantastic!! (Unless they're sick of course) and both are just delightful when they're not screaming!!

Photo Dump Time!!!

I hope everyone else is keeping well and enjoying the change of seasons!!  (Is anyone else noticing that Christmas decorations are starting to appear?? It's OCTOBER people!!)

Any who, i shall pledge to be a better blogger, with riveting tales of....haha, maybe not!  But i shall try to be a bit more regular!...and blog more too! ;)
