I have a new magic trick – I can make three teenage boys disappear… just by walking into the room with my camera! Scardy-cats!

These beautiful flowers are my reward… because about 14-ish years ago I made a very wise choice… I chose a man who would bring me my favourite flowers 'just because' <3 <3 <3

day ONE HUNDRED and NINETY THREE | year FOUR | 2013

You
know those once-in-a-lifetime events that you think you will never
witness… and if you do, by some rare chance, get to witness such an
event, you know you never will again… well, Darci running, is that
event for me!

In case you can't pick her… she's the 'quirky' one (we try not to use the word 'weird' 😉 ) wearing the blue Spock uniform and cape… totally normal, right?

a pity that the only photos I took today were of beautiful baby

photo-a-day <3

day ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013

I saw her dressed like this (yes, this IS her outfit – no prompting or
costume party in sight!), and couldn't get this song out of my mind – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn9mLnKmPco

July 06_2013

Postscript: Bwahahahaha… even Facebook thinks Darci looks like me – it just placed a box around her head and asked if I wanted to tag myself!

day ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013

A
rare day off for my ranga… and this is how he chose to spend it –
playing Littlest Petshop Monopoly with Willow, Zoe and Jenna <3 <3 <3

July 05_2013

day ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013

This

Girl POWER!

day ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013

The
amount of squeals of excitement and happy dances that the arrival of
these shirts incited today, boarded on disturbing… Darci (&
Amelia) like to consider themselves 'Quirky' … but that's not the
first word that pops into my head ;P ‎#geek ‎#nerd ‎#cra-cra

June 17, 2013

Willow
was reading 'The Guinness Book of Records' to us while we were cooking
dinner… Xan was helping out with some of the tougher names…
'Joaquin' was a particularly dodgy one for our learner reader 🙂

My beautiful Zeus… 12 years old and counting <3

June 16_2013

day ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013

Half
way between Xan's hockey field and Willow's, a challenge ensued… Xan
was looking in fine form, while Darci, once again, was the spitting
image of her mother!

day ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013

Movie night!… you can't tell my the looks on their faces, but they were actually enjoying 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' 🙂

day ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013

If
Darci ever develops a nut allergy, I think she will literally starve to
death from the removal of peanut butter from her diet!

(ps: when you see it, you will laugh!)

Last
year I turned *cough*40*cough*… last month my eldest daughter turned
21… today, I finally had to admit that I can see the netball coming
better, if I wear my glasses on the court… but you know what, I am
still rockin' the pigtails!

June 07_2013

day ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013

This
is what my school fees are paying for… a bunch of Yr12 kids leaving
their Open Day early to come home and play on the Nintendo64… yep –
rockin' it old school!

Zoe is never home these days… what with uni, and work… so it was pretty
easy to guilt her into being today's model… and what a stunning model
she makes <3

day ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013

Emmett
came to hockey today… it was a tough gig for him, being patted and
cuddled all day! He was using Willow as a pillow here… he likes to
lean, sit or lie on you, so you can't get away!
