Catching up!


'Light party Panda'  :)

So it's been a few weeks since my last post...I have reasons.. i do!  For the most part though its been sheer exhaustion and no motivation!  As well as toddler taming, growing huge, finishing work, and a very brief non urgent stay in hospital with a tummy bug for monkey and me!

And then yesterday i finally remember to get a bump pic only to be told i've run out of storage!!  It would appear i'm the only person out there that didn't know you had to have storage to put pics on your blog!!  Finally, tonight Hubby remedied the situation and i am ready to go!! (actually, i've already gone!)....(That made it sound like iv peed my pants or something but i meant that my post is up already!)

Anywho, I'm gunna go sort some pics and try to get my butt into gear, cause i have a gorgeous wee boy whose growing up too fast and needs to be shown off!!  Im also pretty damn proud of the garden too, so expect a bit of drivel on that one as well!

Il be back soon!!

Pinterest...Nailed it!! The Hubby edition!

I think i may have mentioned before what a legend my Hubby is....well here i am to mention it again!!  Not only has he allowed himself to be dragged into my only slightly addictive Pinteresting world, he has immersed himself in the culture of pinning, and has become a minion to the DIY Pins that i drool over!!

Hence why this post is 'The Hubby Edition'   So without further ado....

The Bedside Tables

Our Bedside Tables :)

 My instructions for this were pretty specific! I wanted a cupboard, but i also wanted a shelf, and i wanted it to match the headboard, and i wanted it to look rough and rustic, but still like an indoor piece of furniture, and it also needed to be Lachy proof, without annoying kiddy locks that this talented mummy can't open!  I think he Nailed It!!!  I LOVE MY TABLES!!


The Toy Boxes

Lachy's Toy box!!

 Love this Toy box! (The 2nd one is on the production line!)  It matches Lachys drawers perfectly and he just thinks it's awesome too....Sometimes he even puts his toys in it!!

 So you kinda have to use your imagination for this one at the mo, but i promise to post updates as the plants grow!  A friend of mine suggested this to me first, then i looked around Pinterest to see what else was around!  Because we already had beans planted we decided to give passion-fruit a go, and have planted 2 different types, one gold and one regular purple!  Because the Teepee is actually in garden space without grass, Hubby transplanted some moss to act as carpet for something a bit softer than dirt to sit on! (Lachy already makes a bee-line to it with his snacks!)

Yup, he nailed it! And i got a compost bin to go with it!! Yuss!! (I had only just planted the veges, hence the sad looking crop, they are perking up though, i promise!!)  Grow my pretties, grow!!!

So that concludes my Hubby edition of Pinterest...Nailed it!!  I have a few goodies in the works so hopefully in the next couple of weeks i'l have more stuff to brag/laugh hysterically/cry about on here!!  And now im off to do a little Pinning before bed!!

17 months!! :)

My boys getting so biiiiiggg!! (sob-sob)
I (again) cant believe how fast time is going!!  I just finished cleaning up from his 1st birthday party and now i'm thinking about what to do for his 2nd birthday!! (Yes, i DO need 7 months to plan his party).

Anywho....

#  Feeding time can now officially be called "Feeding time at the zoo".  My beautiful, angel child stuffs his face (with his hands) so fast he'd challenge even the staunchest competitor at a pie eating contest.  I have even had to growl him to stop him sniffing food up his nose, and tonight, he put a handful of casserole in his ear. Yep, all class round these parts.

'Macca's soft serve? Why yes thanks i will!'

'That wasn't the watermelon i was eating!!??....'

'Num num num...'

#  Play time is equally full on.  I no longer try to follow my child around to keep him from harm.  Now i just sit at the table in the middle of the yard and hope like hell the thing he's putting in his mouth isn't still wriggling when it comes out the other end.  Actually, i lie, i still don't let him on the slide/swing set alone, but it's really high...and he needs me!

Goat!!

Oh you know, just hanging out...patting a LION CUB!!!

....And driving... (Please note, we were in a driveway doing this, not on the road)

#  Sleeping was going really well, until yesterday :(  Usually monkey still has 2 x hour long sleeps a day, then does about 11 hours overnight (Stoked, i know!!)  Last night, he wouldn't go down without a fight, woke constantly and then refused to sleep today!  I'm thinking teeth, cause he's got the rosy-cheeked-drool-face happening at the mo, and cause i'm sure he's due for a couple more soon! (Still only got 6) Hopefully tonight goes well for all involved!!

'I woke up for this???'

'If you can catch me, you can put me to bed!'

#  Monkeys vocab has pretty much regressed, and now all we really get is 'Dad', 'Mum' and a constant stream of babble mixed with his "I Want" sound...which is kinda like a gorilla grunt/whine.  Pleasant much.  While we try not to give in to this, i kinda want him to keep communicating what it is he actually wants, and so most of the day all you here is his grunt, followed with us naming the things he wants...."grunt grunt" "you want a drink?!"  or "grunt grunt whine" "Are you stuck?!"  Our days are so eventful!

Feeding duckies!


'Please, no pictures...'

'I is a seedling....'

#  What else can i say?!  I basically have the cutest kid on the face of the earth....I probably let him get away with more than i should, but his bottom lip pout is just so Awesome, i can't resist it!! 

Channeling a bit of Mick Jagger

Until next month...  (Except for other posts i mean...)
Love you my Monkey-Bum!!
