day ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY | year FOUR | 2013
Emmett…
sitting with his butt on the ground (his head reaching way over the top
of the table!!), willing me to share my dinner I just hadn't noticed
how big he has grown! … he is my very own Direwolf <3
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
This is 100% Willows own design… and 90% her own work … I am so proud of her! <3
Most of the time, when I look at my crazy girls, I wonder if they have
any of my DNA at all… then they will get creatively inspired and work
on a piece of art at the expense of everything else… and I think "Ah,
there I am" <3
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
Damn… that's two I missed, just this month!!… in my defence, it has been one hell of a month!
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Here I was, just lying on the couch, minding my own business… when along comes 'His Grace' … apparently I had HIS blanket!
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
Willow… 'Dancing in the Street' at her school fair… what a great way to start the show <3
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
You'd
be a bit psycho too, if you had to put up with this abuse (though, if I
am reading the look on Dexter's face correctly, he is plotting Darci's
demise as we speak!)
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Still
wide awake and cheeky… even after coming 6th in today's District
Cross Country, and playing a game of hockey tonight… if only I could
bottle her energy – I'd be a millionaire by now!
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
… and another one bites the dust. This is her second day off school with whatever bug is going around 🙁
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
Oops… missed one 🙁
day ONE HUNDRED and FORTY | year FOUR | 2013
Ebola? Plague?… I'm not sure, but curling up on the lounge in her pj's, with the remote and a box of tissues seemed to help.
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
My gorgeous Darci, and her partner, Jason… all ready for their Yr12 Formal… she scrubs up alright, doesn't she <3
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
Jaimi
cashing in her Birthday present… she 'flew' from Brisbane Airport to
the Gold Coast… and then executed the perfect landing… what a Rock
Star!
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
Jaimi turns 21… I can't believe it
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
What a damn fine looking bunch <3

day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THREE | year FOUR | 2013
I think it is safe to say then next generation of the Cuskelly/Bingley family… is in big trouble!
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
My gorgeous view on Mother's Day morning (from the swag I was sleeping in due to thousands of special visitors ) … Xanthia, Regan (nephew), Mikayla (niece), Darci, Willow and Jade (niece).
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY | year FOUR | 2013
It's
been almost 18months since we have seen my brother, sister in law, two
nieces and one nephew!… but they are here now! WooHoo!… the house is
chokka's… but so are our hearts!
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
Three girls at home… by Saturday there will be four… and by Sunday, ALL five of my girls will be home!! ALL OF THEM!!
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
So it was late… everyone was already asleep… and I still hadn't taken my photo-a-day. At Kym's suggestion I went in search of Dexter… I'm not sure he was all that keen This look is what nightmares are made of! *shudder*
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
So, exactly how wrong is it to be jealous of my 12 year olds abs?
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
After
dinner last night, Xanthia remembered that she had a 50's themed
birthday party to attend TODAY! So with minor panic and maximum creative
thinking, we came up with this little ensemble! Not too bad,
considering a morning full of Hockey and not one cent spent!
EPILOGUE: She won Best Dressed! WooHoo!
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY THREE | year FOUR | 2013
Dexter is a 100% indoor cat… but he does like to sit in the front window and keep an eye on his kingdom.
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
The only thing I picked my camera up for today, was a gorgeous little bubba… too beautiful for this world ♥ Heartfelt
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
Darci during her Yr12 Drama monologue… she was amazing!!
day ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY | year FOUR | 2013
My Widget is just all kinds of freakin' adorable ♥
day ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
Darci
is forever being told how much like me she looks (lucky thing 🙂 ) …
of course, she doesn't help matters by wearing my old overalls (I used
to wear those things ALL the time), and MY ugg boots!
day ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
For the doubters (Ross Jenkins – this means you 😉 ) … proof that my Xan kicks hockey butt!
day ONE HUNDRED and FIFTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
Me, with my ranga and my Widget (photo taken by Xanthia)
Lest We Forget.
day ONE HUNDRED and FOURTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
It's so lovely to have Zoe home again… she is just all sweetness and love ♥
day ONE HUNDRED and THIRTEEN | year FOUR | 2013
This what my household has been reduced to at the moment… Zoe is at her GC home… and my ranga is away with work… so it is just me and these three ♥
day ONE HUNDRED and NINE | year FOUR | 2013
Poor Willow… doesn't even get to eat her KISS icy pole by herself!
day ONE HUNDRED and SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Willow was my willing model as I tested my flash skills… I still need some work… but she is just perfect ♥
day ONE HUNDRED and SIX | year FOUR | 2013
Xan getting her fluoride treatment at the dentist… looks like a scene out of Cujo!… cutest little rabid dog, ever ♥
day ONE HUNDRED and FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Here's something that you don't see every day 😉
Gallipolli Barracks held a public Open Day today, for the first time
since 9/11… it was a thoroughly enjoyable display of all things Army.
day ONE HUNDRED and ONE | year FOUR | 2013
I
have been working most of these school holidays, but today I said
enough… and took Willow and Xan, and a few of Xan's friends, to
Southbank for the afternoon instead! A much better way to spend a day ♥
