Then there were three!

 

Oh how completely blessed we are to have these three little people in our lives.

 

To be able to be "mummy" to these three is better than I ever could have imagined my life. Walking side by side with my best friend.....wow there have been challenges, massive road blocks...but here we are and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. xx

 

It's been awhile between posts...years even...life got in the way. I'm back and hopefully I'll be sharing some of our adventures more frequently xx

Making Soup

We received our delivery of fruit and veg and with Mr I don't eat anything showing a great interest in it's arrival I was thrilled. we got out all the differen't fruit and veg and talked about what each one was, it's colour and if it was a fruit or veg. We decided it might be nice to make a big pot of vegetable soup while eating a fruit salad plate! (every mummy's wish - but will he eat it - that is the question)
When we got the veggies ready i realised that there really aren't any jobs for an almost 3 year old to do when making soup, so he set about making his own!



Master N got busy measuring and weighing his ingredients. Using some plastic pegs as his veggies and picking matching colours for the said veggies. He added some pasta as I did and some shells as a special touch.



He was still going while i was finished and all washed up....pouring mixing and re-weighing. What fun....what a mess!

Oh and did he eat the real one?

No! But was very keen for me to give some to his baby sister!

Threading

Another for the fine motor skills, threading! We dyed some tube pasta in different colours last week and tried to thread them onto shoelaces with not alot of luck...so on a trip to the craft store we bought some plastic needles and wool. Perfect.
I was totally amazed that Master Nate could not only thread these with utter ease but could thread the needle, now I know who to call if I'm having trouble. We made necklaces for granmas and aunties and I had to wear mine out to the shops.

After years of sending kids home with these from pre-school and watching mums not so keen to leave the premises with them on I was the one who had to go out with some gorgeous home made jewelry! It really did make my day as much as Master N's.
To continue on and I can't remeber where I saw it but at breakfast we decided to thread cherios onto pipe cleaners....one on and one in(the mouth).

Wet washing hanging on the line!

We bought some little pegs (inspired by Childhood 101) and decided to use them to display our art work on a line in the lounge room. Master N was intriged and wanted to keep taking the pictures on and off. I decided to set up a clothes line one morning put out the pegs and some of Princess P's things and see what happened. What a great morning of on and off and on and off. It was great for fine motor skills and also inspired some fun imaginative play. The clothes line stayed up for a whole week (till I couldn't stand it anymore) and it is still missed! We might bring it out again some time soon.

My very own rug

Much of Princess P's time is spent on her big brothers rug....finally her own arrived! Mummy is really starting to love Pink......lucky I guess!

Winter sunshine

A good old fashion day out, enjoying the winter sunshine, feeding the ducks and rolling down the grass hills! Bliss~! Finished off with a yummy strawberry milkshake!

D says Duh

We made it 20 baths in a row, not an easy task in this house! So to celebrate there was a gift purchased at the toy sales. As the alphabet is a firm favourite around here we bought a leapfrog letter recognition thingamagic and have been playing with it ever since.
"D says duh D says Duh all the letters make a sound and D says Duh"
To add to the fun we pulled out our alphabet book we got at the playschool concert. At each page we stopped to look at the letter, find the matching one and check it in the thingamagig to see if we were right.Then the letters got lined up in order....this went on for a good while. Didn't make it through the whole alphabet but daddy was shown our new game when he got home from work.
