The winter sun shone bright on Saturday calling us to the exciting world of outside. Being bored with all the current diversions we dusted off our Tardis and headed back to the medieval era. Where we watched a jousting tournament. (the Knight pictured above had misplaced his helmet but he was just practicing in [...]
This is a photo of our old, very narrow, constantly flooded and covered in rubble front path. It’s one of the things that has constantly bugged me about this house. When ever I pull up on the drive way a little sigh escapes me as I contemplate herding my gaggle of unruly children into the [...]
As if my week wasn’t bad enough, this is Sabrina with a hole in her head. The worst part was it happened in my room while she was in my care. Hello guilty feelings welcome to my stomach. I hadn’t been feeling the best, hey maybe it’s stress ya think, so I rang Glenn and [...]
The baby flushed my mobile phone down the toilet. Sabrina has an unnatural fascination with the old water closet and lies in wait for any opportunity to dive in. Whenever the door is left open she’s in there in seconds commencing her flotation experiments with whatever valuables she can get her chubby little fingers on. [...]

We used to be a family that drove places. Out to the country to see the spotty cows, up the mountain just to look out over where we had come from. The kids would soak in the spectacle of our corner of creation as it slid past the windows. They would increase their sense of [...]
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!!!! the icky yucky black stuff is coming off the floor, WooHoo!!! It is so officially Happy Dance time, come on join me one…two…three…kick, one…two…three…kick! The not very nice to walk on, sticky black stuff (like the tar they put down on the roads to hold the little stones in place) is what [...]
Yes I know I’m a little behind in my Easter well-wishing but once you read this story you might just understand why. Easter and more specifically the whole egg laying part and our family do not mix.
