How could I resist!? J had already succumbed, so I followed too. We had a ton of fun playing “tickles on the bed” and Zack was really comfy in his new jammies :)

It’s been a busy day today, we went into town to get the council to pick up some stuff that’s been sitting in out front garden for the past couple of weeks - bad Marylin I know - the old sofa and mattress that were replaced. It’ll be great to finally sort out the garden after that… summer is just around the corner! Zack decided when we were in that we should go to Pizza Hut for lunch, and as I couldn’t be bothered to argue, and was getting hungry anyway, we decided to “go for it!” (Zack’s words). Zack was pretty well behaved and had a ton of pizza, and Max was happily sitting in his seat gurgling and grinning away - he’s such a lil charmer!

J got a new watch as he’s been without one for over a year now, and then we headed home. It may not sound like much but when I’ve got those three in tow (yes J is included!!) it becomes a bit of an expedition!

As for this eve, I’ve got a date with Warcraft once the kids are in bed, so until then it’s play time with the boys :)

Zack, J and I were lying on the bed this evening, calming down the lil man for bed. He likes to pretend he’s looking up at the stars you see. He’ll tell us about the different coloured stars he sees, and occasionally he’ll point out a shooting star flying across the sky (can anyone say Cute?!).

So this evening apparently he saw a shooting star, to which I replied that he’d better make a wish!

The response?


“I wish we could be best friends for ever and ever and ever!”

Seriously? It just DOESN’T get better than that! I couldn’t help but say to myself, I really hope so too son, I really hope so too.

Well, ok maybe a little…

Oooh this has been a fun week with my new camera! Lots of pics to share and it’s so difficult to choose just a few, but here are my favourites!

Max got a bit confused as to why I was spending so much time playing with a camera instead of him…

The bunny was wanting some of Zack’s dinner.

The First Morning (with the new camera) was spent taking pictures of The Cuteness.

A random pic that I had tried to shoot with the old camera and failed. Not anymore! Still not perfect but we’re getting there ;)

You’ve gotta love these lips - even with cookie crumbs on them. They’re Oreo cookie crumbs after all!

I finally got some decent pics of the corkscrew hair!

Max had his first taste of Toast.

J got a bit freaked out with a pooey nappy…

and he was not impressed at becoming a chew toy either!

He was VERY happy when he got the first few new components of his PC despite being missing part of his head…

and Zack was just as happy to have a new box to play with!

Max got his first experience of the Tummy Slam. At least his big bro was careful because it was Max - we’re not so lucky!

Max enjoyed playing with his new toy (which arrived yesterday morning) and proceeded to claim as many pieces as he could with his slobber!

He REALLY loves his new toy!

new camera!.psd

My new toy has come!

Lots of fun to be had - not

a clue what I’m doin!

I’m hai from the sale,

too hyper really - come down

will be bad, real bad!

Twirl the hair, bat the

eyes, asked what else he could do.

a free carry bag :D

Now to start playing.

Taken so many photos

already - FUN times!

I don’t quite know how I managed it! The camera was on offer already but the only one they had in stock was the show camera. Nothing wrong with it but been handled by a lot of people and not in ‘untouched’ packaging. I think they guy who was selling it may have been a bit of an idiot though to let it down in price as much as he did!

Slowly getting the hang of PSE6, going to take a while before I get things right with lighting/colours etc but it’s LOTS of fun to play with :D

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
