I like to post amusing stories about my children because I like to entertain, but they’re not always like that. About 18 months ago, just after Squirt had turned 4, we were at the swimming pool when he did something pretty impressive. He was playing in the pool after his swimming lesson when he saw …
It’s the age old questions kids always seem to want to know. How are babies made? During our conversation at the dinner table last night, Squirt said to Hubby “your balls make babies don’t they?”. Hubby paused for a second and said “well, they make the seeds that make the babies”. “So,” Squirt says “if …
Hubby is away and I have a meeting in the morning. That puts a bit of extra pressure on me for the morning school run, so I gave the kids a heads up this afternoon that I needed them to be on their best behaviour and get their jobs done quickly since we wouldn’t have …
I had my first proper migraine when Squirt was about 15 months old. I was out for dinner with my Mother’s Group and about halfway through the meal I started developing a headache. It was quite painful and I declined a second glass of champagne, finished my meal pretty quickly and drove home. Hubby was …
Two years ago we told Squirt that Dad was going to be away for Mother’s Day and he was going to have to be in charge of making Sunday special and he replied “oh god”!! A couple of weeks ago, Hubby’s roster arrived. A quick glance at the important events showed that Mother’s Day was …
Here’s Squirt (and hubby) taking on The Drop. At 23m, it’s the tallest inflatable slide in the world! Squirt on the left, Hubby on the right.
November 1, 2013 We were at the hospital for an appointment with my gynaecologist. We started with a general history as, even though I have been seeing this specialist for a while, today she had a junior doctor with her and she wanted to bring him up to speed. Midway through, a security guard comes …
Thank you Squirt (age 2) for escaping out the front door naked and forcing me to run after you in singlet top and undies. It seemed the 3 blokes walking up the street were highly amused. Possibly preferable to the knock on the door that “hubby” received earlier in the day while he was in …
Squirt has some paint flaking off his wall. It was only a tiny bit where we removed some shelves but he’s picked it and picked it until it’s a huge hole. We have asked him a hundred times to stop picking at it as it will make more work for hubby when he finally gets …
If you follow my Facebook page you may have seen that we were lucky enough to win tickets to a VIP event for the Australia Day fireworks. The event was hosted by a local radio station and Squirt had heard them promoting it and begged me to win them. After a few days having the phone …
