Pumpkin Carving!

Today we carved pumpkins! This year the kids were not anywhere near as grossed out by the goop as they were the last time we carved them, and were even telling Miss Emily's best friend Olivia to "just scoop it out with your hands!"

 Little Miss Penelope was kind of cranky so she had a bottle and went to bed, and the rest of us set about making Pumpkin faces!

The adorable Miss Siena was very interested in what was going on, that is until she got sidetracked finding other things to make mischief with! Well....she is a toddler of course!


No, Marny really isn't going to murder anyone with that knife......

Miss Siena quite enjoyed seeing what she could get into while no one was looking!
The Boy just needed a little help but he got most of it out himself
The Social One getting her hands dirty
Twin looks of concentration from Marny and Olivia

Then Little Miss Penelope woke up, and was kind of confused as to why she was sitting next to a pumpkin!

Marny and Miss Olivia with their creations! One is wicked, one is drunk ;)

The Boy is very proud of the creations!



 So all in all we had a fun afternoon, and I can't wait to see them all lit up tomorrow night! :)

Summer!

Image
I've been seeing all these photos of snow everywhere courtesy of Facebook and Instagram. Can I say I'm kind of jealous at the moment? I always loved summer, the consistency of long, hot, sunny days just made me happy. But as I get older it starts to wear a bit thin when it's ridiculously hot.  According to the news, our summer hasn't been too hot (although it feels like it has been), and we've had a few milder days and colder nights in the last week or so which was awesome. We have had 15 days over 35 celcius (95F), in January, and I know there were a few in December and November too. But today is another one, and according to forecasts we are set for a record breaking heat wave over the next week. It's supposed to get up to 42c (110F), and not go below 39 celcius (103), for at least the next week possibly longer. I got a text message from the girls' high school earlier today advising about the extreme weather for next week which I've never had bef

Time To Say Goodbye

Hey Folks out there in internet land. This year is heading towards a close and it's got me thinking about what I had hoped to achieve this year and what I haven't gotten done.... In the last few years we've been thrown some pretty major shit and each year end I say "good riddance to this  year and here's to next year being better!" And the next year isn't better so it's getting kind of old.  Since 2012 (so five years), we've dealt with 3 miscarriages, an extremely difficult pregnancy that apparently should have resulted in two babies but didn't, a busted back, an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost me my life and did cost my fertility. That was followed by pneumonia then a Femoral hernia. In addition to that, we've had to deal with me losing the ability to use my right leg and foot for over a year, more damage to my back, more hospital visits than I can count and stress beyond all belief. There has also been stress from teenage kid

2013, A Look Back

Image
Today is a stay at home do nothing kind of day - I don't even plan on getting out of my pj's. And so as I sit here and reflect on the past year it occurs to me that it has been pretty full on! So I thought I'd do a post on what happened, month by month. So much can change in 12 months, it's interesting to look back and remember things.....I wonder what 2014 will bring? January ...saw as it always does, Miss Emily's birthday and mine as well as a big cross country move! On the way Penelope gave us quite the scare before we knew she was Penelope that is, and proved to us that she really is destined to be a superhero!   My Dad and The Awesome One packing our shipping container for the move Driving across the Nullarbor Plain on the way to Western Australia February came and we found out that our Little Lord Nibbler was actually going to be Little Lady Nibbler! The kids started school for the year, The Awesome One set up my art studio and I star
