The view of the moon from my deck at dusk… was so much more stunning than this pic shows.
Teh boyf… hahahah sorry, that word makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. XD He’s modelling a hat my mum knitted for him… which he’s been wearing constantly since he got it!
My lil snow angel. Today Max got his first chance ever to go out in the snow. He *loved* it and thought the snowballs tasted really good too!

Well I’ve been kind of absent from the Internetz, but with good reason, they’re sitting up there playing games together.
What can I say – THERE IS ACTUALLY LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE COMPUTER!! Who’d have thought? O.o
Anyhoo… Christmas pressies have been bought, the tree is up, my boys are doing really well and loving having Dean about. Hell even Max has said his name (what about MUMMY huh??). I think he’s playing me. He’s been mouthing the words to songs etc but not actually *saying* them. We’ve got wow (as in, wowowowowow, not wow as in world of warcraft, honest!), Deeeeeeeeeeeen, ank ooooo (thank you), “dowdow” (dummy), Gannii (granny) and gampa (grandpa), and lots of other sounds. So he’s doing really well I think.
Zack is being an absolute star. He’s loved having D about to play games with and generally having a guy about to talk to/play with. So far there don’t seem to be any problems with mummy having a boyfriend – other than him insisting that “D can be both our boyfriends!”, LOL!
Rocky has become such a sook it’s quite pathetic. I love him, but did you leave your tough guy act in Dundee? I feel like I should change his name to Mr Snugglekins or something! 
I’m happy. Happyhappyhappy. It’s almost Christmas, my boys are doing great, and I have someone to spend time with. COMPANY! Who’d have thought it eh?
Hope you’re all doing well, how’s the rush up to Christmas going? 2010 has *got* to be a better year, right? RIGHT?
Disclaimer by Dean: excuse the hair, I never realised I was getting photographed, but then again I am a scruff and don’t really care.

Screw tea time… Imma gonna listen to my new friend’s iPod! I think I may have a mini-dj on the cards if today is anything to go by!
After NaBloMaHoWhaEvThFu I decided to take a few days off the blogging. I will still be aboot, just not every! single! day! *god* that was exhausting! Plus whenever I take out my camera everything’s just so bloody washed out with the on-camera flash that Zack looks as pale as can be. *sigh*Only another… hm… 4 months (?!?) of darkness. Oh joy. At least I’ve got someone nice to spend the time with now though.

Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, and I’ve managed to post every day for the last 30 days!
There were times in the last week or so that I wondered whether to just not bother, but in the end I’d rather write than not, even if it is just about our day to day life. After all, that’s kind of what this blog is all about, right?
We finally have our sun back it seems, or have for the last few days at least, and boy does it make a difference to our days.
Zack has been *very* snuggly today and I am loving it, and Max is his usual happy smiley little self. I really do feel pretty damn lucky to have such awesome sons. I wouldn’t change my life right now for anything.

It’s so hard seeing Zack upset,after saying bye to his Dad for eg, although it wasn’t as bad this time as the last. I get that heart-wrenching feeling and I just wish I could take it away from him so he didn’t ever have to feel that way. On the other hand, he’s learning as he goes, and it will help to shape who he is. I just need to be there for my boys when they need me.
As the years go on I suppose that’ll be less and less, so for now I’m going to make the most of my boys needing their mum, and enjoy all the snuggles and kisses and general awesomeness that they are.

Sometimes I see glimpses of what they’ll look like when they grow up. Around the eyes and the nose. As soon as I see those gorgeous baby/child mouths though I forget what I was even looking at. I guess only time will tell with that one!

So I got to see New Moon yesterday while the boys spent the day with their dad. Ohhh Zack was *so* pleased to see him, and Max took Zack’s lead, so was very happy and smiley and good with him.
I want to see it again!
Oh! My! God! Those wolf-boys! Rrrr!
The main thing though, the boys had a great time with their dad, and although Zack was sad to see him leave again this time (breaks my heart seeing him so sad), it wasn’t quite so bad cause now he knows that he’ll come back for another visit.
Max ate like a trooper apparently, and Zack got some dress up clothes, so he’s been running around the house as the red power ranger. I will get a pic if he’ll ever stay still enough!
Today was a pretty chilled out day. Max slept in, Zack snuggled up in bed with me this morning, and I got to dose till about half 9, so all in all a good start to the day! It was gorgeous out but absolutely freezing, so we bathed in the sun streaming through our living room and played together. They even went to bed well tonight!
All in all, it’s all good at the mo.
