Crazy Dom

I don't know what Dom's problem was today, but boy he was just crazy!!! Even Ben was surprised he carried on the way he did - very cheeky, back chatting and not his usual self. I'm starting to think it's some food that he has eaten - so I'll have to look into that!! He even woke up at 5.30am (which when you go to bed after a few drinks at 11.30pm the night before - is way to early!) and Kenz even woke up after she went to bed at 11pm!!! I couldn't believe it...

So anyway we just had a quiet day at home, I bought some display boxes 30cm and 30cm for McKenzie's room (tried to get drawers to fit them but couldn't get any) but anyway Kenz was happy, and I might get a few more for her room....

I tried getting a photo of the purple plastic bucket that I bought for Kenzie's room and this is what Dom did (Kenz was having an afternoon snooze - no wonder!)..


I'm also doing my "Photo a day" so I took these of Missy and the Frangipani's in the backyard - it's sort of hard getting photos when you don't go anywhere...will be interesting to see what I can do the 3 days I go to work!!

Friday

Dropped Kenz off at school today, spent some time with Dommy, had Lou from Tails and Whiskers come around and Hydrobath Oscar, then took Dommy swimming before picking up Kenzie. I took these photos of Dom, cleaning his teeth with McKenzie's toothbrush and his!! Then he got all camera shy...

McKenzie won an award at Assembly today - for Outstanding Effort at Story Writing which is fantastic for McKenzie, because she's not really that "big" on writing or story writing....so a brilliaint start to her first week at school!!

Then we drove down to Runcorn (of all places) to drop Ben's car off to get a couple of things done to it. We decided to take the kids to McDonalds for dinner and whilst there, we got a call from Trudy and Dean (who we saw last night) and they said they had heaps of food and wine left over and wanted to know if they could drop around and share it with us. Todd and Alyda also came over and we all had another great night of eating and drinking on the back deck. Kenz even stayed up to 11pm!!

Modelling Oscar

Back to my usual busy Thursdays!

We dropped Dom off at child care, dropped Kenz off at school, then I went to the gym to do the Body Pump class (and felt it big time), then went shopping at the new Aldi's at Albany Creek and a quick stop at Coles. Came home, unpacked, had lunch and then took some photos of Oscar. He's a good model because he just likes lounging around - haha...

Then I picked up Kenz from school and got her ready for her Numbereworks tutoring at Ashgrove. Ben picked up Dom from child care. We got home at 6pm, where I quickly got ready before going to Studio Con Brio (Trudy and Dean's studio) for the AIPP On the Lounge session. It was great, and we got home about 10.15pm and the babysitter went home. Actually Sammy the babysitter was pretty good, so we'll be booking her again.

Grade 3

This morning I took Dom to child care and then came back home and Ben and I walked McKenzie up to school for the start of grade 3. We went up to her classroom and met Miss Taylor (who was lovely). I think Kenz is going to enjoy grade 3 this year.

When I got home in the afternoon I asked Kenz how school was, and she said her teacher was nice, she didn't even yell at her once - which is a good start!

Dommy starts his new child care today

I took Dominic to his new child care centre today, and he was pretty good (I must admit I did bribe him a little bit with some Mentos) but at least he was happy.

I found out he slept for 3 hours - so he must have been so tired from the long weekend.

Kenz had her last day of her holidays at home with Ben, well Ben was still working but Kenz was happy to entertain herself upstairs and race around with Ben.

Spider Boy and Blue Eyes

Mum's Birthday & Australia Day

Today was Mum's birthday, so we gave her a call to wish her a Happy Birthday.

We spent most of the morning at home (besides me grocery shopping for food for school) and then we went over to Tania and Paul's place to finally meet their new baby boy, Rowan.

Of course I took some photos...
