Day 152 - Something Beautiful

There is no more beautiful moment than a moment of love. This afternoon, after crazy hair day at school, the girls came to work with me for a little while. We chatted with some teachers and they were even lucky enough to get a Freddo frog from Kylie before we headed to Sarah's for a catch up with the lovely ladies from work.

It isn't very often that I can catch the girls in a warm embrace after being at daycare for the last 3 days because usually they are so exhausted that they usually play solo for the afternoon. I was glad to catch this beautiful moment together... It is just heart warningly beautiful.

Day 151 - Your Personality

I struggled to think of an idea to capture my personality today. My mum was the one who suggested taking a photo of bubbles to represent my bubbly, but not transparent, personality.

Day 150 - A number

One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab is a book purchased after seeing it at a Maths course we are currently completing at work. It is such a cute book and gives such wonderful counting sequences within the book. Funnily enough, I purchased this book not for school, but for Olivia and Ava who indeed love to count.

Day 149 - The Weather Today

The weather is typical end of Autumn weather. Cold and frosty mornings leading to sun filled yet crisp and chilly days. It was nice to see the sun make an early appearance this morning, hopefully we'll see the sun more than rain in Winter.

Day 148 - Something Sweet

Something sweet. Most of you would know I have a distinct sweet tooth.

Today could have been a variety of things - spending time with Nerida, who is very sweet, the caramel slice we shared at afternoon tea, the chocolate I enjoyed with my cup of tea, the lolly aisle at Costco.... the list could go on. Instead the best sweetness of the day came from Ava.

When Nerida and I got home from our afternoon of shopping I was greeted with lots of kisses and cuddles. Even sweeter when she serenaded me with the song 'I have loved you for a thousand years'. It really was the sweetest moment of my day.

Day 147 - 12 O'Clock

12 O'Clock today saw me putting the finishing touches on the cupcakes for Olivia and Ava's birthday party. I was planning on making Owl cupcakes, however with the Oreos breaking very easily, I gave up quickly and moved on to plain and simple freckles.

We had a great time celebrating at the Fun Factory with all our friends and even more so watching the big kids at heart enjoying the play equipment. My favourite part was not having to clean up after everyone ate! Fun was had by all in so many ways.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. I know the girls had a wonderful time.

Day 146 - Unusual

Unusual. There really isn't anything unusual about today for me.

We celebrated Olivia and Ava's 3rd birthday today with lots of fun. A morning consisting of opening presents and some cake decorating and the evening spending time and having dinner with family to celebrate another year's passing.

I am continually amazed at watching my babies grow up into little ladies.... well ladies most of the time! Happy Birthday Olivia and Ava!

Unusual is doubling up the photos for today.

Day 145 - Something New

Something new.... today would have been the perfect day to buy a new car - however I didn't, unfortunately, so I took the next best thing. Olivia and Ava turn 3 tomorrow and one of their presents is a new bike. I can't wait to see their faces when they wake up in the morning and find their bike and other little presents.

Day 144 - Technology

Technology - a favourite subject, tool, passion of mine. I use it everyday whether it be using my phone to make calls, check email or even be a social media junkie and check out Facebook. Tonight we used the iPad to get us to an information session about building at Googong held by Shaw Living. Thank you to Jen for getting us involved - it added some new thoughts to our land buying process, and gave us lots of inspiration for designing a house.

Day 143 - Pink

With pink being my favourite colour - one would think I had a plethora of options for my photo today. Which I did, but it wasn't until 8 o'clock tonight while making the second birthday cake that I rediscovered my favourite pink item. My beautiful pink Kitchen Aid. It is so pretty, I can't wait to display it one day soon in a brand new kitchen.

Day 142 - Where You Stand

Whenever I grab my camera out ready, the girls either run away or come running toward me and ask to say cheese. So I often find myself looking down at them with beautiful faces like the ones in today's photo. It is quite tricky to capture a quality moment with them both looking at me and smiling and so sometimes I just have to accept that either one will have their eyes closed or not smiling.

I am quite happy with where I stand today - it is such a great place to be with gorgeous faces like this looking up at me.

Day 141 - Something You Can't Live Without

There are many, many things I can't live without and my routine cup of tea before bed is definitely one of them. It just seems to end my day on the most perfect note. Thank you Shane for being so kind and making me my tea each and every night. It's perfect.

Day 140 - A Favourite Place

I was in Sydney this weekend for a multiple birth association state seminar. We ended the seminar with some barefoot lawn bowls. I did enjoy the lawn bowls, with my flat shoes on - my toes were too cold to enjoy walking on the grass. It isn't my all time favourite place, but to spend some quality time with friends is exactly where I call a favourite place.

Day 139 - Something You Made

There is nothing like curling up on the couch under this quilt I made with Japanese Fabrics. In fact, this was the first ever quilt I finished. I love to curl up under this quilt in Winter, with a cup of tea and a book on a cold and wet day. Today wasn't cold and wet, and I didn't get any time to sit at home under my beautiful quilt, but it is certainly something that I am very proud of, now to finish the other sewing or stitching I have collected so I'd have a wider variety of things I have made.

Day 138 - Snack

This afternoon, I left work to go and have afternoon tea with Sarah and Cooper and the ladies from work. I brought along the girls for the catch up this afternoon as they both love Cooper. While we were there it was snack time - an apple for Olivia and banana for Ava. Of course when they saw the chocolate biscuits on the table, they both wanted one of those. After finishing fruit, and enjoying a chocolate biscuit each - Olivia attempted to take another by telling me she had one for Ava too - she gets many points for trying to convince me - but not enough to have that second chocolate biscuit!

Day 137 - What You're Reading

Quite a selection of books I am reading, if only I had the time to read all of these - including books I have purchased on my kindle! I do love reading, but am finding it a little hard to find even just 5 minutes to sit and read one of these novels. The kids party cakes books will be read before the novels - while I endeavour to decide what cakes to make for the impending 3rd birthday.

Day 136 - Love

Love is the topic of today's photo. The three greatest loves I have are all subjects of my photo today. This afternoon Olivia and Ava showered each other with love, offering each other with some lovely cuddles for today - it is a beautiful sight to see them hold hands, cuddle or even kiss knowing there is nothing but everlasting love behind it. Shane is my other great love of course - together we have come through a lot and have created our amazing little family.

Day 135 - Grass

Grass - not the most interesting of topics, but one we are often talking about. We are attempting to regrow some grass in our dirt filled backyard - and by we I mean Shane. He has been very vigilant in his watering and nurturing of the lawn. Hopefully he will see some growth for all this love he has been putting in to his grass.

Day 134 - Mum

Today is Mother's Day, and I did get to spend some time with my mum, and attempted to catch a good photo of her today.... with no luck.

After a late night last night, I thought I was due for a sleep in. Olivia happily obliged, Ava was up and in our bed at 6:07am. I was a little tired, possibly a little grumpy, but was quickly awoken an with a kiss and cuddle from Ava - who wished me a happy Mother's day by saying to me 'I love you my mummy'. No matter what time of the day or night - these 5 words she says melt my heart. A perfect way to start the day.

Even happier that Shane - my guest photographer today - was able to catch all three of us with some sort of smile on our face and looking at the camera! Well done Shane.

Happy Mother's Day!

Day 133 - Something That Makes You Happy

There are many things that make me happy. One of which is just spending time with friends and family. We had some friends over for dinner tonight, with a late night and lots of fun had by the kids and adults, it was great when they went to sleep very late without a drama. I hope this means a sleep in for Mother's day tomorrow - that would make me very, very happy!
