Hair cuts and catch-ups

We have been mega busy today. First thing this morning the girls had their first official haircuts. I say official because I have made several attempts at doing it myself which have failed misserably. Thing1's hair only wants to grow one way and that's over her face. No amount of styling can change it's mind. Plus it's very thick. This is why we pay professionals :p We went to PriceAttack and they did a pretty good job. I can see T1's face properly for the first time since she was about 4 months old.
I'm not sure $17 each is really that great a price considering they spent about 3 mins per child, (maybe next time I'll shop around) but if it saves the girls from losing an ear its worth it. We did Thing2's hair at the same time, just because. She didn't need it that badly, it was just a tidy-up for her. The T-man took pics with his mobile so I'm not sure how to upload them yet, but I'll figure it out later.

Also we caught up with T-man's brother and his wife and son. They came down for a wedding so we saw them for about 2 hours. Its a very quick visit. I think they arrived this morning are returning tomorrow morning and S ( the brother) will be back to work about 2hours after they land, poor thing. He works as a camera man on a bunch of different tv shows, first of the day will be a morning news/entertainment show, so hopefully he makes it in time.

Oh well thats it for me, I'm going to go pig out on some of the T-mans delicious bolognese. I don't know when that boy learnt to cook but I'm sure glad he did.

Fat mama

I have to confess to not having read anyones blogs/emails for ages, well about a week. Things have gone crazy around here. My kids have learnt to bite! The T-man has been working like crazy and its only going to get worse. There are alot of interstate trips coming up for him. Oh and I got fat!!! No, I'm not talking big and pregnant. I mean FAT. I grew a whole new chin, apparently the first one got lonely and needed a friend. It occurs to me that this KFC habit I've picked up, thanks to baby girl three, may have something to do with it.

So those are just a few of my excuses for being down and unenthusiastic (spelling?) lately. So in order to cheer myself up a little and do a bit of showing off of my lovely girls, here come the pics!

(Oh, and I promise, no more exclamation marks). Ah, yes. I drop food. I drop food I just spent 1/2 hour preparing. Luckily
I stained our ugly coffee table so the T-man said we could get a new one in
October (Birthday). Unfortunately I also ruined our new carpet.

Just to prove how un-fun I am atm.
I am avoiding side shots at all cost in an effort to hide the chin.

Today is the girls 13month birthday. So I thought I'd take a stroll down memory lane.
Me and Chelsee getting huge together.

One month ago today, man they were small. And don't you love Jess's enormous diaper?
Today, a year later.
Alex. Total stunner. I think she gets it from her dad.
Jess. Looking as innocent as ever. Trust me, if you looked up the word gremlin in the dictionary, this is the picture that would be next to it.
But every gremlin has her weak spot. For this one its her baby doll.
Our hero. T-man must feel like a celebrity when he comes home to a reception like this.

Well I'm gonna crawl off to bed now and try to be a bit more enthusistic tomorrow.
