Not a baby

I often ask Euey and Aoife: When you're big will you still be my baby boy/girl?
They always say yes.
Last night while giving Euey a good night cuddle I snuggled into his neck and asked him if he'd always be my baby boy. His response marked the end of an era.
No. I'll still be your son. I'll still be your boy. But I won't be a baby. I'm not a baby.
So I can't call you my baby boy anymore?
No. Just call me Euey.

Crap, I forgot the echidna!

Blogs go backward. Which means when you forget something and add it in another post no one knows what you're talking about 'cause they have yet to read the earlier post. Anyway, just trust me and read on. Euey noticed this little (well, big for an echidna) guy while Will was sawing off the log he was hiding under.

Dad, what are those spikes covered in sawdust?

Footy, eggs and echidnas

April's been a bit crazy so far. Okay, let's face it, the whole of 2010 has been pretty nuts. Will and I have committed ourselves to so many extra-curricula activities that we seem to pass each other on the way out or in most of the time. The kids see lots of both of us still, just not so much together - we're kinda like a tag-team at the moment.

We do manage to steal lovely family moments though ... read on

This was not a family moment, just a moment of Euey randomness! Poor Bubble, I'm not sure he's as keen on pink tutus as Euey is.

The day the Easter Bunny found us at Gen and Mudgie's house - 4 days early.

Then we went to Venus Bay for Easter. Two lovely days of sunshine and relaxation at our friends' new beach house.

The kids and their best friends.

The girls pretended to be cats ...

While the boys got semi-naked and stuffed cut grass down their jocks!

This jar was full after Easter Sunday, after the kids had been eating chocolate ALL day (okay, and me). I think the Easter Bunny went a little overboard this year. And as consequence I have been going overboard ever since.

Euey started Auskick yesterday. He rocked.

Will helped with the drills and umpired his first ever AFL match.

Aoife and I ate sausages and watched happily.

Finn also ate sausages, and watched not so happily 'cause he wanted to be on the field.
