The dishes

I just left the girls at the table to finish their dinner. I went to the study and on the computer.

Tahlia soon came in and wanted me to put on a movie - which I did.

I heard some rattling around going on in the kitchen and then Isabella came in with the dishwasher tablet to tell me she'd done the dishes and just wanted me to unwrap the tablet and turn it on!

All unprompted!

How sweet is that???

Mumma

For some reason Tahlia has just started calling me "Mumma".

And I love it!!!!!!

Nearly 3 and nearly 10

Tahlia turns 3 next Friday. I can't believe my "baby" is going to be 3. But to all and sundry who have asked the question she has been 3 for a while now! Hehehe!

And on the same say Michael and I will celebrate 10 years of marriage. I don't know where that time has gone.

I am so blessed.

Back to work tomorrow

Isabella and I are having our last day together before I head back to work tomorrow. Have sent Tahlia to daycare today as I need some time out from her! She pushed every one of my buttons yesterday!

Isabella is sitting next to me painting her tea set - a gift from my mum for Christmas.

I have a few chores to do today but they are at home so not planning on venturing out today except to pick Tahlia up when I get some strength back to deal with her.

Michael and his dad were busy over the long weekend putting some more drainage in beside the pool. Water issues have added thousands to this pool project ugh!

Here is a photo of Bella painting.




So until next time!

Getting together

Wow what a busy couple of days!

Christmas day was wonderful. Isabella and Tahlia slept in. The girls loved their gifts and there wasn't any "is there any more?" for which I was greatful.

Michael and the girls spoiled me. I got a new camera and a Pandora bracelet with some charms. One of which was a rose charm picked out by Isabella because her middle name is Rose.

We got Michael an iPod Touch and Isabella made sure we bought him some Toblerone chocolate.

We had all of our Mackay family come to our house on Christmas day which was lovely. Lots of food but more importantly great company.

Mum took lots of great photos and I'll try and post some soon.

On Boxing Day we visited with some dear friends including the girls fairy Godmother Kia. We are having dinner again on Wednesday!

I also managed to Skype with my Grandma, aunty Eileen, uncle Ernie and uncle Charles in Canada which was amazing!

On Sunday we took the girls to Alvin and the Chipmunks Squeakwel which was very cute.

This afternoon we were visited by Belinda, Arran, Cooper, Layla and Tate. It was great to catch up and the kids had fun swimming.

Tomorrow Michael is back to work boohoo! But I have some girlfriends and their kids coming over for a visit and swim yay!

All in all this holiday has been fantastic!

Take care everyone and make sure you appreciate each and every moment with your loved ones!
