Waiting...

Yesterday I washed some baby clothes and these little shoes haven't been put away! Aren't they just so cute! I can't wait to fill these... Well I can wait because I'm only 32 weeks and I want wee Percy to grow and come out when he's fully cooked!... But this week I have been thinking of him lots just wondering what he'll be like... I can't wait to see him, meet him, kiss him, whisper in his ear and smell him! I've got to the stage now where I look sooo big that people ask me when I'm due and then they offer sympathy about the heat (which so far hasn't been too bad anyway!) Long list to fulfill before Percy is born - like the major swap around of bedrooms to do once our room is renovated! But for now I'm happy sitting on the couch with hand on my stomach wondering what our little long awaited man will be like!!

First Day of School...

This is my favourite 'first day of school' photo. I think it represents this moment in Em's life perfectly - I love the umbrella - rain which turned to sunshine by the end of the day! I also love the way her Barbie bag brought by Grandma is almost as big as her! I love how she has her Dunlop shoes on which Daddy had brought especially for school in England. I love how she chose to wear bright pink socks pulled up! I also love that hiding inside her bag is a little teddy just in case she needed something familiar during her first day. I also love that I remembered to leave her a love note in her lunch box! A very yummy lunch I made add too! And lastly I love how it represents her heading off into the big world of school - which I'm happy to say after two weeks she is loving. I'm happy that her teacher is kind and loving and that she is surrounded by wonderful friends that are providing lots of fun at lunch times! I love that she is like a little sponge waiting to soak up everything that school has to offer... Good times ahead...

Emma's 5th Birthday Party!

Emma's disco party was lots of fun! And really easy to organise! It took a wee while for some little girls to warm up on the dance floor but with help from the bubble machine everyone soon got into it! For the invitations Rob made CD's of five songs that we played on the night - think Hannah Montana, Justin, Chipmunks etc! We asked everyone to come dressed sparkly - which then became the theme for decorations with mirror balls, sparkly material, CD's etc. Food was easy too - we ordered pizza and hot chips and for pudding the kids made their own sundaes. My wonderful friend Gilly made the cake - she's great! We played Freeze and ran out of time for anymore games. Courtney & Laura were great facepainters even letting the girls loose on their faces to be covered in black paint! Anyway here's some pics...
