Sausages

Richie enjoys BBQ'n. Mixing meat and flame seems to help him wind down after a hard day at the office.

 

Messy Kitchen

The kitchen always seems to be a disaster zone. The top half is my fault.



The bottom half is Winter's fault. 

Evil Banana

Winter likes to leave me little surprises around the house.


Sometimes when I find them they have matured somewhat. 

15 min break

Winter was driving me crazy yesterday so I gave him some dental floss to play with.


I had to cut him free with the sissors

Chocolate v Banana

Winter got his mits on an Easter egg.



This was as close to it as he got before...

The banana swap! 

Gifted

Advanced beard drawing!

 

Spoilt rotten

We live in possibly the best family friendly place on earth. This is our local coffee shop smack bang in the middle of Rushcutters Bay. We sit & relax whilst Winter plays.


We can watch Winter...
or the boats!! 

Good Friday

After a dodgy 5am start and a morning of cooking & cleaning, we managed to spend the rest of the day cruising Sydney's finest playgrounds. These shots were taken in the evening at Bondi. It was a glorious 27 degrees.

Stash Revealed

I have been meaning to give the pusher a scrub.


The banana smears contrast nicely with the black fabric.


I was horrified to find Winter's secret stash under the sheepskin!

Visiting

We went to visit Ruby & Rebecca in Balmain today. We shared a room at the hospital when these two were born.


They got up to plenty of mischeif together.


Having fun!

Balmain is gorgeous. 

Hommies

Winter went for a drive with some old friends at Playgroup this week. They grew up together attending Mother's Group.


Hotwiring!


Might have to push...


or get petrol! 

Big Dog

Our friend Ricardo kindly brought round an abandoned dog for Winter.


I got a big suprise when answering the doorbell .


Winter loves wrestling him.


They look cute hanging out together. 

Broccoli

Q: How do I make broccoli eddible to a toddler?
A: Add cheese!

I love cheese so much so that I regard other foodstuffs to be simply a carrier for cheese. I have applied this theory today to Winter's lunch making him a (very) cheesy broccoli slice. Mmmm chedder & ricotta.



Note, as well as the broccoli, I have also hidden some rice & eggs.


Winter prefers to stand on the coffee table when he eats lunch. 

Sand & Spit

Rich and Winter getting sandy pants.



Thoughtful Winter thought Daddy would like to eat some sand! 

Big Sunday

We dropped in on Bondi to check out reports that today there would be the biggest waves in 30 years.
 

Baby Rich

Notice any similarities? (click on pic to enlarge)
 

Hot Hubby

The cap does it for me!


 

MCA & Pub

My friend Kim & I decided to be adventurous and took our babies on a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art. I imagined Winter would enjoy wandering around the gallery whilst I looked at the Art. Instead I spent most of the time looking nervously at the invigilators whilst wrestling Winter away from everything he could get his hands on.


Was too busy toddler taming to get any shots inside.


Afterwards we went for spritzer.


There is a great area outside the pub where Evie & Winter could play whilst we finished our drinks.

Leaving the house

This is what I have to pack for Winter when we go out for half a day!


Note the wide variety of food just incase something is rejected.


The old honey container is for emergency entertainment (he likes opening & closing the lid with his teeth).
