PROJECT LIFE WEEK 45

A non evenful week at home was week 45.

The toy catologue is the most important piece of mail.  Both Fred and Polly are already making their wish lists for Santa.

This is pretty much what homework time looks like in our house.  Fred does his homework while I get dinner organised.  Polly likes to "help", as you can imagine, she is not helpful at all.

The cleaning yourself up strategy wasn't successful, so now I have resorted to flat out bribery.  If she does a number two on the toilet there just might be a treat.

The sore on Polly's face is from running at the pool and she fell over, ouch.

The week wouldn't be complete without some pool snapshots.

It's exhausting work being a two year old.

More cricket on Saturday.

A hot day, no beach, no pool, the best we could do was some water and soap on the trampoline.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 44

This week was busy, Doug's birthday, Halloween and a weekend away.

This week marked the beginning of Polly's obsession with the movie Frozen.  She calls the movie, "Her Girls" and likes to watch it every day.  I love it when she twirls around and belts out the Let It Go song (well Polly's version).  Everything now is about the princesses.

Perhaps as a result of her obsession with Frozen, there have been quite a few accidents in the undies (too busy to go to the loo).  Not loving cleaning up undies so have let Polly take control of operation clean up.  Kind of backfired because she loves hosing herself off!

Reading to Doug a book devoted to Pugs in dress ups.  Dougs looks engrossed.

Doug the Pug's third birthday on Thursday.  Happy to pose for his birthday happy snap and enjoyed his big juicey bone.

On Friday, Fred, Polly and I drove to the Coast to pick up Eve after school and then back up to Toowoomba.  Long day in the car, bribed the kids with the halloween candy.

Fred really wanted to get into the spirit of halloween.  So Darra and Donna bought both Fred and Polly scary costumes, got them all dressed up and went up to the hospital to scare Gran.  They were both REALLY scary by the end of the day, full of sugar and overtired.

On Saturday Evie swam at the Toowoomba Open.  She was pretty happy with her times and even managed a PB in her 100m Freestyle.  Proud of her for having a go.

Jack caught the bus up to Toowoomba after rowing traing.  Never too old to have a go on the Milne Bay waterslide.

We visited Gran in hospital on Sunday.  Brett took the big kids back to school Sunday afternoon and the littles and I drove home. Another week done.

Thanks for stopping by.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 43

A relatively quiet week with all the usual happenings.

Monday Polly and I visited Gran in hospital and then went home to Gundy that afternoon.  Gran was then transfered to St Vincents on Tuesday.

Fred's swimming lesson on Tuesday afternoon and another pool adventure on Friday afternoon just for fun.

Fred playing Farming Simulator a  new game addiction.

Polly getting her Ninja Turtle on!

Breaky time, eggs and soldiers.

First taste of cricket on Saturday morning.  Was a really HOT morning.  They played a little mini game and Fred's team fielded first.  During the water break Fred suggested that he had had enough and it was time to go home.  Thankfully batting was more fun.  Not sure how long Fred's cricket career is going to last.

After cricket the kids and I drove to Toowoomba to see Gran.  Stayed the night with Darra and Donna.  Gran is improving every visit and seems much happier in St Vinnies.

Thanks for stopping by.
