Playcentre at Home!

To entertain the kids the other day I made them some blue and green goo! They thought it was lots of fun painting the table and chairs! However, it wasn't so much fun to clean up afterwards. I've decided I might need to take Zach back to playcentre. I think it's best to make a mess somewhere else!

Bella the Builder

Another property on our street is putting in a retaining wall. It's quite exciting with diggers and trucks. Bella scooters past it on her way to and from kindy so she has become quite fascinated with what they're doing. She's been making lots of  playdough retaining walls - digging the holes, putting in the posts, adding the concrete, putting in the boards and nails etc. I particularly liked this colourful creation.

Crazy Zach

Zach loves to do things differntly and is always trying to make us laugh! In these photos he's decided he can fit in one of the toy kitchen cupboards, wedge himself under the car and ride his bike upside down. He's also a fan of trying to climb in the toy car through the back window and go up the stairs backwards. He'll do anything to get a reaction.

Clown Mouths

Bella and Zach look just like clowns with their orange mouths! T

hey often have us in fits of laughter with their sayings. Bella asked for some more icecream the other day and Matt said she couldn't have anymore to which she replied "I get what I want when you're not here". Hmmm, it seems I'm the soft parent!

Zach is learning is some sayings too such as "Stop it Daddy" and when he's ruining Bella's play and she says "Stop it, I don't like it", he continues what he's doing and yells back "Stop it, I like it".

Carol

Carol has been helping us since I've had a broken leg. The kids have been loving getting extra attention. Here they are enjoying some painting with Carol.

Aunty Sarah's Birthday!

It was Aunty Sarah's Birthday so Bella made her a card and wrapped up her gift. I made her some cupcakes for morning tea and Bella, Alex and I all sung Happy Birthday. Zach was asleep but when he woke up we sung some more Happy Birthdays as it's one of his favourite songs. Later, after Aunty Sarah had left I heard him sitting in his car singing Happy Birthday. He sounds so cute singing - I must get it on video one day!

Bella's kids!

Bella is such a good Mummy! Here is a photo of her looking after all her babies in order from left to right: Kashaleen, Zach, Bindy, Max, Izzy, Lauren and Rosie. She certainly makes it look easy!
