Easter - Better late than never

Some easter-y goodness to share from last weekend

Daddy helping JD open an Egg

Lilli showing me the pick "gooey stuff" inside her egg

Using the inlaws car as a seat coz it was so wet and muddy underfoot

Jarvis being a little over confident with his ability to consume chocolate, and we realise later in the day that this is the FIRST time he has had chocolate ever, poor little blighter is 18 months old.

another day at the beach

we spent yesterday at the beach with G's family we took this kids for another beach walk - so much fun. Jarvis and i paddled out feet in the ocean while Lilli and G went looking in rock pools.

my little princess is such a poser

Daddy showing Lilli and Jarvis some shells

My little man was very excited about the waves and wanted everyone to know about it

Easter Yarn

I turned these squooshy batts


into this yarn



and i am going to make Lilli a Easter hat with it :)

Lottery Swap

This is the beautiful gift i received in the lottery swap from Rachael on Ravelry. this is a wonderful swap idea and many thanks to bmansmum for coordinating it. It works like this:
you put up an item for the lottery from your stash or that is within your ability to create (i put up a custom handspun yarn). then the names and the items get put into a hat and drawn out what ever is drawn out with our name is your prize!!!

an update is coming

just a sneek preview of the next update coming soon.........

pets...

some people have cats, other have dogs, people in apartments have birds, people on farms have horses - we have - Bob. This is the animal that my children call their pet, he is wild (not caged) he showed up about 2 years ago and has not left since. Bob climbs the stairs on our back verandah and sits on our verandah in the sun, he is so tame that we can hand feed him fruit. the kids just love having Bob as their pet.

playing in the rain

Jarvis - Playing in all they rainy goodness on sunday, needless to say his hands were like ice blocks when he was done, but he loved the warm bath afterwards aswell.

my rant from friday feels so insignificant following the events in Victoria over the week end - my heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones and to the survivors who have lost there homes.
