beautiful veiw in the morning!











flying dog!







right before we were about to leave rubes, who had not had a sleep and gets clumsy like his mother when he is tired, tripped into the wall and put his tooth RIGHT thru his lip, ick, blood everywhere and sobbing child and all over me.... ugggg!



2 little boys in the bath at dustans







look who found a packet of choc bikkies in mums bag while the grown ups were haing dinner.....



yes.......?



if you look carefully you can see the gleeful look on his face behind the dummy and even more so in his eyes to be creating such havoc!



look no hands!



i can get in by myself, i can i can!







what....? is there something on my face...?



" i can even do it with one hand! does that make it better........?"



"what do you mean its gross?"



i wondered where he was...... and then....!!!!!!
"this is a great place to stand mum"




heres the last few days, we have helena and bracken back with us for a bit which is awesome! last night we went out and stayed with dustan morrison at his little farm for the night, got back this morning so that was neat, made us wish we could live out there too! poor bracken thought it was fantastic and was very reluctant to get back in the car knowing he was coming back to the city!!!

for some reason these pic are actually the 'right way' this time so the 1st one is at the top!


sooooooooo

we had decided to go away for the weekend before i even knew i had my surgery but we decided to go anyway! thanks to jay nick and mel, I really didnt do tooooo much and we had fun and the kids were.... ok!
It was a pretty nice place we stayed, perfect for 2 familes with 2 queen rooms and 1 with 2 singles in it. 2.5 bathrooms and a nice big living space, if it had been sunnier and warmer there was even a nice big deck but we kinda holed up inside with the heater on for most of the time!

It was a very peasent surprise to find out beth and dave were totally by coincidence also staying in kingscliff for the weekend so both nights we ended up having dinner together!

i have shamelessly stolen mels pics as well cos i didnt get as many as usually seeing as i wasnt quite up and round like i would usually be! would have liked to be able to go for some more walks or bike rides but my pace was like a snails and even then only if i was dosed up good and proper!!!grrrr!!! mel and i have scoped out another block of apartments by the same group that has a lagoon pool and its even nicer that we may well go back to! yay! this one had facillities but they were down the road not just right there!

bits and bobs

and put it inthe wee bag and off you go! awesome and light and easy to pack! yay!



it has a band attached to hold it togerther, it also has a sheet and little sleeping bag that velcro inside it!



fold up the mattress







you fold it up/ twist it up.....

the new kindercot, love it already!



ezeke loves standing up! jay took this while i was at work and said zeke can actually pull himself up!



look at this huge pile of 'stuff' that rubes carries around at bed time, we have decided enough was enough after we took this pic!

eating his huge bun that was nearly as big as his face!



rubes all ready and safe for working on the bench
