Getting sorted. Sort of…

So.
In case you have no idea what we have been doing or why we have seemingly disappeared off the face on the Internet world, we have been making some rather large changes. 

We have moved states recently. Very recently in fact. Like last week.  Last week was a long week…!
We have moved into our new house. [...]

Randomness from the last couple of days

Multi-tasking Reuben

Couldn’t you just eat (or gently pinch!) those chubby little thighs?!

The perfect tomato from my weeping tomato plant.  Modeled here by Owen…

Up to no good with that expression on his face!  Oh, and my weeping tomato making a background appearance…

The attempt to pack up the boys’ playroom is not going well… As soon as [...]

And the good news……

The Harvey’s are vacating Rouse Hill and moving back to Brisbane!!!  Details are sketchy at best for now, but we will keep you all posted.  We are all SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

An anniversary of sorts

Today, Owen and I have been in NSW for a whole year.
A whole year…..
12 months…
365 days…
Some days/weeks it feels like we have been here forever (well, for a long time anyway) and it really does feel like our home.  These are the good weeks.  The ones where preschool is good, the boys are [...]

New Addiction

I am officially addicted to Facebook Scrabble…
I cannot walk past the laptop without checking to see if it’s my turn in one of the many games I’ve got on the go at any given time.
After the kids are in bed and there is something sufficiently crappy on TV, you’ll find me sitting on the couch [...]

Catching up. And procrastinating.

I am slowly catching up on replying to emails, reading people’s blogs (sometimes commenting), paying bills online, downloading photos, etc.
Basically doing all those things that require me to sit on the couch, half-watch Oprah and warm my thighs with my laptop.
By doing the above mentioned tasks, I’m not getting any washing, ironing, tidying, cooking, folding, [...]

Genius… or not?

I’m not sure – either way!
This is how Marc decided to soak two of Reuben’s dummies last night.
At least it got the job done :o)

I’m here, just not answering the phone. Much.

Every single time I just sit down with Reuben and get him all sorted for a feed (he likes to grizzle and muck around), a phone rings.  Of course, this only happens when I’m home alone with one or both of the boys.  Sometimes Owen is allowed to answer it – if I can see [...]

A request from Mick

But don’t worry, it’s all under control.  Mick and Jode have a working keyboard now.  Thank goodness.  I don’t think Mick would be wanting to hand in any of his uni assignments in this format!

Degress.  Celcius.  In mid September.
Listen to me Weather, it isn’t Summer yet.  I want Spring.  I like Spring.  A nice 27° would be a good start.
Play nicer tomorrow.
Thanks.

Been drinking too much water of late (yes, there is such a thing!).  So, I have started drinking soda water and red cordial.  It’s delicious and cold and [...]
