I asked for nice smiles, but all they would give me was 'cheese'.

While Mummy was away it seems there were two cheeky monkeys sleeping in her bed!

Annabelle bowling to Callum. They both love to play cricket and soccer in the backyard.

My scrapbooking gear all packed up ready to head away for the weekend.

Hair cut time for me. This is the 'before' shot. I didn't have time to stop for an 'after' shot!

Homemade chicken and mushroom pie using Rebecca's recipe. Delicious!

I walked into the craft room this afternoon to discover Annabelle had located the box of paper scraps and a glue stick and was having a great time creating. It was good to see.

Callum loves to win. And this game he won convincingly.

A perfect day for catching up on lots of washing.

Annabelle refuses to have a day sleep at home, but every afternoon this week she fell asleep in the pram on the way to pick up Callum from school.

I finally found time to put up the vinyl wall stickers I bought for Callum's room. Three super cute robots and their spaceship.

The back of the car loaded up with all the junk I found in the garage. Off to the tip I went.

Annabelle and I have headcolds. :(

Some of the parcels I posted today - selling off scrapbooking supplies that I no longer need.

Annabelle made this card with no assistance from me. She can use a gluestick with ease and knows exactly where she wants to place things.

Annabelle was so happy with the new easel we gave her that she started drawing with both hands!

Doing craft can be a dangerous business, so always wear the appropriate head gear!

This is the pose of a cricketer who has just taken a 'KFC Classic Catch'. Or so I'm told!

Annabelle and her best friend Nathaniel. Not the best photo, but these two don't hold still for long!

It might look like just a photo of our Angelcare baby monitoring system, which it is, but for me it also holds a deeper meaning. Today I used this photo while I listed Annabelle's cot, changetable and monitor for sale on Ebay. It's a clear sign that we really are waving goodbye to the baby years.

Callum saw some marketing on TV yesterday for McDonalds "Happy Meals" and asked if he could have one. We said no and explained why. Tonight we made him a healthier version with a homemade pattie (containing grated vegies), real cheese (not that plastic stuff!), a nicer bread roll and oven baked chips. It still made him happy. :)

Ten years ago Feb 5th was the hottest day of the summer. This year it poured rain.

They told me at daycare last year that Annabelle was quite the little mother and we've really started seeing that at home now too. Baby is getting fed while Louise (the cabbage patch doll) sits in the stroller waiting patiently to be taken for high speed rides up and down the hallway. And further back there is someone (probably Lola) asleep in the little bed.

Today marks my return to being a regular blood donor. I haven't donated since I was just pregnant with Annabelle so it has been way too long. My next appointment is already booked in.

I put on some music this morning and Annabelle grabbed herself a dance partner and took to the floor.
