Award Recipient

madly trying to get a couple of more posts that i don't want to forget

before we go on holidays,

because i plan to do nothing but sit by a pool for 2 weeks !

the boys had their end of year presentation in the last week of school

and our braxton received an award at his.

i am so so so proud of this boy.

he has come so far this year.

he has absolutely blown my mind 

at how quickly he can pick things up and retain information.

because all the awards are kept a surprise for the kids at caddies,

braxton had no idea he was receiving one.

he thought we were just there to see the kindy performance.

his grammy asked him in the morning if he thought he'd get an award,

his reply was no, but that's ok not everyone gets one.

(the teachers has been drilling this into them the week leading up)

his smile on his face when they called his name was priceless.

his award was for effort and enthusiasm throughout all areas of learning.

we can't wait to see what year one brings for our number two.

congrats bracky boy !!

we are so proud of everything you do and who you are becoming.

Santa-Man

seriously cannot believe it's almost christmas.

this year has literally flown by.

and with it being christmas we take the boys to go and get their traditional santa photo.

i was a little upset this year.

none of them were scared in the slightest.

makai would have been the closest.

he looked at me and said "mum i don't want to go and sit on his lap."

i looked at him and said "buddy you're the oldest you can't be scared because zayden will get scared."

and plus he's the biggest so he they ain't no way his but was sitting santa's knee.

zayden almost ran to santa he was so excited.

he couldn't believe that he was actually going to meet santa in real life.

gone are my days of crying photo's

but i'm welcoming the akward missing teeth and big teeth growing back photos.

merry christmas !!

Australian National Maritime Museum

hey, it's me.

yes i'm still around.

i am running on way past empty and 

don't think i'll even see the end of the week.

buttttttt #mumlife,

the show must go on.

trying to catch up on my blog before the end of the year

so watch out for a whole lotta posts.

last month we took the boys to the maritime museum in darling harbour.

(thank you cudo for your half price family admission)

jevan and i had packed for a full day in darling harbour,

thinking the museum would only entertain the boys for a couple of hours.

we were there for six hours !

and could of stayed more if we had actually gotten there on time.

to say the boys loved it is an understatement.

they still talk about it.

it's a great kid-friendly museum with lots of hands on stuff.

like come on,

you get to go on a real life submarine, navy ship and a "pirate" boat.

total boy heaven.
