Sibling cuddles

I was wondering why the kids were so quiet, and when I walked into the lounge I found them lying together on the couch and watching their movie - sooo sweet!

29 June 2007 - high rise

This is the view from the top floor of the building that I work in. 'Scuse the quality it was taken with my cell phone camera.

28 June 07 - Fascinating!

Lily watching Tristan preparing to brush his teeth.

Baby it's COLD outside!

This is our dashboard thingie showing the temperature this morning!
As you can see, taken at 7:50am, listening to Heart 104.9FM, only 83.4kms driven since we filled up.











Then I turned to my window and took a photo of the mountain.

Bit of a delay in my posts

I'm petrified to see what our phone bill is going to look like. We're still on dial up, so I have been logging in at night to post my pics. I'm going to curtail that and rather post my week's worth of pics over the weekend. Thank you to those who pop in and have a look!

Bath time

I always have to wash out the bath before I fill it because our 3 female felines like to sit and play in the bath. And as soon as I start running the water Lily, or Milo, or both, come running to watch the water in fascination... as seen.

I see youuuu

Shaelyn peeping through the toilet roll core.

Yesterday's photos (22 June 07)

I tried (lots) to upload these but my dial-up was not co-operating. Grrrr.

OK, so I am probably a bad mom for admitting this, but all the pointless scribbles my kids have and are currently producing, do nothing for me. I far prefer this kind of thing! These are some examples of Tristan's art. I love that he can write his name backwards! LOL

Inspiration optional

I felt so uninspired yesterday, so I took no photos. Today I just stalked my kids and got these two:
This is one of Shaelyn's shoes, she found them at Edgars and insisted that I buy them for her. I call her "Disco Dolly" when she wears them, to which she responds, "I'm not, I'm Shaelyn."



















And this is Shaelyn's bath dolly. A kewpie doll. I hate kewpie dolls, but this fitted the requirement of being hairless, so we bought it.

Shoes...

I think my family (yes, all 4 of us) have a bit of a shoe fetish. This is about half of the shoes that I own and about a third of Rob's shoes!!

I have the giggles

This is the reason you are supposed to wash your hands properly after applying self-tan! Every time I caught sight of my hand today I got the giggles!

Two pics today

The first is one that is worrying me, this is a close-up of Tristan's finger. It's looks awful, doesn't it. I've never seen a sore go like that before (he cut himself). Rob says it's nothing to worry about, but Tristan won't let me touch his hand. I put Bactroban and a plaster on it, I'll have to see how it looks in the morning.














And at last, a photo of the elusive and beautiful Milo. She's Lily's sister and she is the sweetest, most lovable little thing, and she loves me! We have 4 cats, 3 love Rob and 1 loves me, namely Milo! :D

Can I have some cheese with that hamburger?

Tristan, hamming it up for the camera.

Nappy

Shaelyn's new thing, when she is filling her nappy, is to pull her pants down to her ankles and shuffle around for say.. oh an HOUR or so. OK, I'm exaggerating, but she really hates being A) bothered while doing her business and B) having her bum cleaned after doing her business! So this was a photo taken this evening. She skelled me out after taking it for taking a photo of her bum! LOL!

Living in a box

Living, I'm a living in a cardboard box... Close enough, here's Lily in a box!

On a clear day...

...you can see the mountain! These photos were taken on my way to work this morning (with my cell phone, so excuse the quality!) In winter it's not often that we get such a clear view of "Shoo-wow!"

Beautiful dreamer

What is it about sleeping children that just melts one's heart? This was my view this morning when I went in to wake up Tristan.

Cats R Fun

The kittens have this tube they play in, and their antic cause much hilarity. Here's Tristan peering in the tube at Milo.

Lily Bo Dilly

One of our newest additions, Lily.

This made me laugh!

Shaelyn has a "thing" for having her toenails painted. (Hmm, I wonder where she gets that from? Ha ha!) Anyway, I haven't painted her toenails in a while, so imagine my surprise when I was dressing her this morning to discover her toenails were blue! At first I thought, "Ohmiword, this poor child is freezing!" Then upon closer inspection, I realised that she had been at them with a blue koki pen! Now she has her polish again, at least until bath time!

Arb photo

The stack of nappies for Shaelyn.

My boyosaurus

In case you're thinking I'm showing blatant favoritism by showing lots of photos of Shaelyn and none (yet) of Tristan, this is why:

My home away from home

Not. This is my office. Well more specifically, it's a shot of my desk, with my PC and my Apple Mac. The PC is on the right, the Mac is on the left. It's old but it does the job. Pity the screen is so unclear in the pic, cos I'm working on my latest Photoshop "masterpiece" - or so I hope!

Bottles

Or "botties" as Shaelyn calls them. I hate them. We have exactly 9 and Shaelyn uses 3 a day. This is what it looks like next to the kitchen sink. I have a nasty habit of leaving the dirty bottles until they are all dirty. Then I wash them. Three more to go. We are trying very hard to get Shaelyn to give them up for sippy cups.

Photo for today

This is Shaelyn's morning face....

Ok, not really, she was having a meltdown, is all! I thought it would make a good addition to this collection!

Photo a day

There is a challenge on the BB I post on to take a photo a day and post it on your blog. I'm keen, I don't know if I'll stick to it, but I'll try!

So, 3 days late, BUT I did take a photo a day, so hopefully that makes it OK!

1 June 2007
An arb photo, some stuff I got in a cosmetics draw, which I doubt I'll ever use. I'm hoping someone will buy it off me!

Shaelyn in the sun:



















Today, 3 June 2007
This outfit that Shaelyn is wearing is special cos it used to belong to my baby sister! That makes it about 17 or 18 years old! And the leg warmers are the ones I knitted for Shaelyn last year. :D
