Moving on up!

*To begin, i hope everyone's doing well! Our thoughts and prayers to anyone and everyone affected by the  bombings in Boston!!*


What a week!!  Actually a week n a bit, but who's really counting!  We're all but unpacked into our new place and aside from tripping over boxes every 5 seconds it's just AWESOME!!  It's soooo quiet!!  We have sheep on 2 sides (and some trees),  and quiet neighbours on 1 side and that's it!! The road we're on is off the main road, so traffic is barely a ripple on my radar (although i did hear a tractor today)!  Now i get to listen to these two all day!!

Love those cheeky lil eye's as he grabs his brothers hair!!

 The yard is smaller than the last place, but i've accepted the awesomeness that was the back yard in the previous Magical Cottage, and that we'll probably never find it again, and i've come to peace with that fact now!  What we do have is a veranda on one side and a small deck on the other with a smaller yard wrapping around, so i'm good :)  I also LOVE having an open plan living area, and bedrooms that aren't right across from the lounge!!

(Why oh why is Hubby watching Amish Mafia??)

In other AMAZING news....The Magical Dish Washing Appliance that i had been so desperate to obtain, fell onto my Trade Me watchlist, and then into my home!!!   Welcome 'Nemo',  i'm so very pleased you've come to join us on our new adventures in the new Magical Cottage!!!! 

Welcome, oh noble Dish Washing Appliance!!

So for the last week we've pretty much been trying to get sorted, get our winter gardens (on a smaller scale) sorted, and unpack everything.  We're only failing on the unpacking part so far so that's good!....Except that we forgot to ask when rubbish day was, missed it, and now have 4 rubbish bags waiting for Thursday!!  

My poor Kale was annihilated by these green suckers! :(

 So now that i'm back, and raring to go, brace yourself for a few new projects that i want to make regular, and for a few old ones to resurface (the ACV experiments Will begin again!!)!

Oooo, did i mention we were getting 2 Magical Chickens (From my generous sisters brood) to come and lay some Golden eggs for us!?  Cause we are!!  They can bunk down with Brian and Ryan (the Cottage guinea pigs steeds) in the coup, if they get along that is!!  Yay for fresh eggs!!

And if anyone's noticed the wee Shopping cart in the top left of my blog screen, well that will hopefully be a reality by the start of May!!  So flippen excited!!!

And so now i need to go and face the remaining boxes in our lounge, so that Lachy stops trying to climb them and pull stuff out!!

Gnite!!

15/52

 Man i suck at this game!!  I feel like i'm neglecting my kids by not showing off their cuteness on time every week, but this time i have the very good excuse of 'We moved and i could barely find the kids, let alone the camera!'.  Now that everything is falling into place (as in i have a camera, a computer, and 2 very photogenic kidlets) you can expect these posts to actually pop up weekly!!

Here's week 15/52

The new craze of 'Pointing' has begun! Lachy will point at anything and everything, regardless of whether he's looking that way or not!! Love when he has dirt on his face, it completes him!

Little Olly-pop is on the path to self discovery now, and Loves the mirror!  Watching him explore his reflection makes me wish i could see things how he does!!

That's my lads this week!  Being amazed by every new thing, and amazing Hubby and me with every new thing too!!

Moving Day!!!

Tomorrow is moving day!!! Whoop whoop!! As an unfortunate end to our time here, the Village Guards have stopped by, AGAIN, (for once not called by us) because the Villages Evil Trolls are getting beaten up by a neighbouring Villages Evil Trolls.  I feel like we live in the flippen bronx'!! (For the record, we don't! It's a lovely neighbourhood most of the time!)

I pray this night goes by fast, cause our country house is a-callin'!! (as are the guinea-steeds i'm sure!!)  I have so many plans and thoughts and ideas for the new place, and kind of a new start for myself, a nice stress free start with no Evil Trolls!! (Maybe even that Magical Dish Washing Appliance!)

This is going to be a busy month on-line i feel (unless the internet provider Gods are feeling fickle, apparently we could be waiting 21 days for our connection :o ) and i'm very excited about a few new things that i'll be attempting, and cant wait to share!!

And now Hubby's waiting to pack down my computer so i have to say something witty to keep you all around, just in case i can't get back here for 21 days.......since that's not gunna happen, have a cute  pic' of my boys instead!!

Brotherly Love at it's Finest!!!

Hope everyone has an Amazing weekend!  See ya's back here soon!!

13/52

 Oh, how unlike me to be so behind....again (*sarcasm-central*)!!  I'm not even going to try to catch up on the weeks gone by (insert witty excuse here), so here i am, linking up with Jodi, for week 13 of A portrait a Week!!

Lachy learning the 'ways' of the selfie!!  After spending all day trying to chase the wee mischief monkey away from the camera, i gave up and gave it to him.  Excellent choice, Kid takes better pics than i do!!

And this wee (or not so wee) chappy, after trying all day, has achieved his very first unassisted roll onto his tummy!!  Such a proud mama!!!

Love these Gorgeous wee people that my life has been blessed with!!
