Loch Ness monster

Not really a monster. The night-vision mode on the video camera creates a fuzzy black-and-white movie that looks like one of those movies of Bigfoot or Nessie.

This is actually Hazel Monster, who had a tanty mid-nap. I got her to have a bit more nap in our bed. Had to keep going in to check that she had not disappeared under the doona.

Hazel in a bath in a window

Confused? Wondering what that title could have meant? Well here it is:



Hazel was grumpy. She's been having little tantrums after 40 minutes of napping, and right now the best thing we can think of is to get her up. She yells so loudly if she stays in bed that Ivy wakes up and then they both miss out on their naps.

So Hazel was up, but grumpy, so of course Trudi put her in the pink bucket that we used to bathe the girls in when they were really tiny. And then Hazel was bored with the view so Trudi moved the bath onto the drawers under our bedroom window. Then Hazel was cute, so Trudi went out into the garden and got dripped on by the rainy quince tree while she took photos.

Ivy is also a champion at sitting in a box:

The girls can sit and play

This is a really long video that Trudi took yesterday. The girls are playing NICELY with a box of duplo.

The highlight is when Ivy sneezes and creates two snot bubbles that join and end up covering her mouth. Brace yourself.

New hats

We have new baby beanies... stay tuned for photos.

Minke the Cat is screaming that it is five o'clock. Time to feed her kangaroo gristle and lung tissue (or whatever is in the cat food we get from Coles).

Mobile blogging

I love my comments!

Yes it made my day, and no I did not pee my pants.

I've been writing new posts for days, and then forgetting to finish them. Busy times round here. Not that anything much is actually happening... just two little girls who need fun and entertainment all day.

The napping is going pretty well, and the nights are still amazing. Last night I slept for 7.5 hours without waking. This is the best night's sleep I have had in about a year. I feel no different today though.

Louise, I had no idea you read my blog. I sort of thought I was writing it for posterity. maybe the girls will one day care about this stuff (tho probably not!). I am going to a 12-week program at Northpark for nutty mums. It's great! We do stuff like Think About Our Reasons for Going Nuts. It's couched in better terms than that though.

And Miriam, I also had no idea that you read this too. Hope to see you at the birthday pile-up next week.

Off to put the girls to bed.

Alon visited

He just drove off. I did not take any photos AGAIN.

Hazel was not keen on him at first, but she warmed up. Alon has a nice prickly chin, which turned out to be fun.
