Best Friends

Last night the boys and I were sitting in the lounge room recovering from our drive home from mums ( where Ethan vomited in the car), when Ethan looks at me and says "I am the luckiest to have Daniel as my brother". Daniel didnt say anything but looked at me with a big grin.... I love that these two love each other so much. Don't get me wrong they fight all the time, annoy each other, hit each other. But I love how they play so well together, and always miss each other when the other isn't around.

( and yes Erin if you are reading this it was your car that Ethan puked in!!!!!)

Risdon Prison

Yes that is Risdon Prison in the background, and from memory on this day the boys were a little disappointed as there were no prisoners in the yard!!!!!

Well the holidays are definately over and life has returned to being busy. Before the end of the holidays we managed to get to a couple of parks. One being Risdom Brook Dam. Now the reason the boys chose this park is because they have an obsession with Risdon Prison at the moment. The love to drive past it, and even more so they love to go up to Risdom Brook Dam and look into the prison yards and check to see if there are any prisoners in the yards. Ethan also wanted to get his photo taken with the prison in the backgroung so that he could take it to school for "show and tell"!!!

Also during the holidays Grandad Docking came to finish of the cubby house he started at christmas time so now the roof is leak free, and no longer any sharp edges.

elder docking

Scott sent me a photo this morning so i thought i would add it here. He seems to be doing well ( as well as you can gather from his 2 line emails!). Also i just wanted to add that we are now FINALLY a nappy free home. Daniel has now moved from night nappies to pants... and 4 days on and no major dramas. It has been a LONG time coming. He just did not want to give them up.

Grandad Jury's Birthday

Daniel deciding whether he likes the cake or not. after one bite he decided that he didn't and went to play.

The ever so checky Holly looking her very best!!!!!

Last night we got together for Grandad Jury's birthday at Grandma and Grandad's house. It was nice to get together with all the family (the Tassie family!). The boys were looking forward to it all day as they hadn't seen there cousins for a while. It was a nice night. The kids were all really well behaved. It is so nice to have a great family that is enjoyable to be around.

A Year On

Today i just want to remember my dear friend Kylie who passed away a year ago today.

Wood Stacking.

This morning we were up early as we had to take matt to work. On our way home I saw some really cheap wood on the side of the road, so i called up the number and 10 minutes later the guy is at my house with the wood. So my morning was suddenly devoted to stacking wood. something that I really did not want to do. But I couldn't leave it for Matt to stack later as one of the cars was stuck in the drive and we needed both today! Ethan was really excited about stacking wood and helped right to the end. His goal was to stack more wood then me! Daniel on the other hand took 2 very small pieces of wood and then declared that he was too tired and went to bounce on the trampoline. But thanks to Ethan's help all wood was stacked and our wood supply now looks a lot more healthy.
