No cats or fish ( borrowed off in laws) were harmed in the photo taking, children definitely not harmed because I never ever would hear the end of it!!
Well our routine app went very non routine very quickly. We went in on Friday at 10:30, at 11:30 people were discussing things and we were being boosted in front of ultrasound queues etc. Ill do the proper story later but for now

Showing his angel wings birth mark at 24 hours
Life is just plain wonderful
Joshua ( though maybe permanently stained blue from a paint skirmish party he attended this afternoon) is a great kid who gives me no ounces of trouble even though he is nine and a pre – teen. I have no hesitation in trusting him at all.
Tyler who can some times occasionally give me ounces of trouble, is still remarkably good for a three year old and has made the transition of moving to his own bed wonderfully and went to sleep with out any hassle tonight. He brings me flowers and gives me kisses, and is just plain cute.
Rod, my poor man, who tries hard to be perfect, dealt with the bed times and teeth brushing so I could watch the series final of packed to the rafters and ignored my suggestion of taking a peachie with him to work, because he knew I would like one latter today.
Kooka Belly who even though is very uncomfortable ( 35 weeks!!), is the gift of a third son, who after 2 years of trying i thought I couldn’t have.
My Mumma who is landing about now from France – with a copy of Maree Clair Ideas for me. My wonderful supportive Aunt deb has gone to get her
and I have great friends and terrific family out there, including my wonderful Dad and brother Davy, who I don’t get to see enough of, that are a tremendous support.
Plus even though I lack chocolate and more Peachie, I have books from the library so am no longer starving for something to read. and I had my kid free day today with my writing class.
Why is your life sometimes perfect?
My Self ( now back to being brunette), My Mumma ( who now lives in France), My sister ( who now lives in London)
a billion years ago at Joshies 5th birthday.
This what 2 very tired people look like on their wedding anniversary.
He is the most wonderful person in the world and I feel blessed to have him.
Happy anniversary
It was yesterday and I was tired from baking a pavlova, mini white chocolate tarts, and milk chocolate dipped strawberries with a white chocolate dipping sauce, he was buggered from working far too hard and getting up at 4 am. It was worth the effort though, to see him look so surprised.
He is so cute. Tyler playing Daddies Drum Stix, shortly after he kicked daddy off to play the guitar so they could “jam”. 
Joshie wasn’t able to Jam as he was at his Dads getting ready for the Convoy for kids.
Please excuse my lazy arse pregnant woman’s break. I have been far to lazy to get off my bum lately, plus we had school holidays in there. Even made it to the beach in them!
I have done a couple of little pieces though
a few cards for friends and family
A doll for a special little friend from playgroup. from this link
I made a few tiny changes and used a soft minkee on the back esp for hugging by this very cute one year old.
A teddy go round (Rav link) in progress for Mr Kooka Belly ( Cooper Travis) who is causing his mum great heart burn at the moment, cant wait till he comes to meet us! Im making it a bit bigger then the pattern, but enjoying the mindlessness of granny squares and loving how they are working up in this colour. Planning white/cream bear heads.
and part of a maternity dress which has been laying around waiting fro more detail attention then I feel like giving it right now.
Am planning a summer hat along for Tyler with this lovely woman. and her son and hopefully another new friend though I think she is blogless.
In other news Hubby was in a band comp heat last night and they made it through to the next round, and my mumma is coming back from France soon fro a visit, hopefully with a copy of Sew Hip that I’m forcing my sister to bring to her from the UK where she lives ( my family likes disappearing on me, my brother has just taken off in a van with his girlfriend heading around Australia!)

Karen Coull is my mother.
Some of her work is showing in blacktown regional gallery so if in any one is in the area drop by. I had both boys with me so wasnt able to look around, but was glad these peices she did when I was in high school, and I can remeber helping pick a million thorns for the peices!
A disclaimer though, it is a official event of the marti gra showing called Bent Western and graphic adult images appear in the work around my mothers, though not in Her work.
This is the show
