News Flash Water Bomb Posse Strike

As promised.....some tips on how to beat the heat and crucial tactics for water bombing your very own Mum! Above is the posse....the gang with the plan.......NOTE the one in the middle as the lead culprit!

And of course, every great plan needs a pilot run, and what better subject to test it on than a 3 year old who is totally unsuspecting.....

It's a success, so bring on the main target......ME.....! They lured me in and then unleashed their fury of water over me. NOTE: the ring leader is out of the picture-snickering on the side lines. There was no escape for me...ALSO NOTE: the little pack member who had a desperate grip on me to ensure I could not make an escape...and nearly took my clothes as a souvenir.

When operation "Get Mum" was completed....members then open fired on other fellow members of the above posse with water pistols. Some took a casual approach to the task........and preferred to pose for a photo..........

Like this gang member..aka..."Larry The Lunatic", who took time out from her mission to coax me, equipped with camera to take a shot of her....only to have her open fire at me. Her laughter was evil!

Tempers between gang members started to flare as unfair shots were fired.......and this particular participant was not a happy camper....hence the "Don't Mess With Me Glare"

And the grand finale.....the final scene...."Bucket Head". When all posse members had thrown in the towel, leaving no moving targets left ...........this crazed gang member threw the final bucket over herself-just for laughs!

PLEASE NOTE: During this soggy attack, One Nana and a Dog were also targeted, resulting in serious wetting.

Sports Day

Today our school held....or should I say attempted to hold it's annual sports day. And in typical Mount Gambier style, it rained all morning! But the competitive and very pumped up kidlets did not let the weather get the better of them, and so- soldiered on........and off between the showers....including their loyal and devoted........(and maybe crazy parents...me included). Above is Lil.......cleared the jump with her first try...little champ!

And....my little Tyne.....who I might add.....can run like the wind blows....(fast....like Port Mac Gale Style)! Most of these pics were taken in the rain. I was dripping...not really a good look for my short hair style...trust me!

By mid morning...this precisely placed and articulately applied GREEN hairspray was streaked over the kids faces....along with my face painting.....which ultimately ended up, smeared all over my clothes from huddling to keep warm. It was all worth it ....just for this...........

Tyne and her first place ribbon for her sprints (taken with a standard 300 mm zoom, no flash..in the rain), so, not a bad photo considering!

And Lily...who also won a first place ribbon for her dash. I will admit...I was a bit proud...and found myself cheering and screaming at the side lines for my little Banksia gals......their war cry went like this...just in case you need a visual of me chanting it...(or a nightmare?):

2, 4, 6, 8

Banksia can not wait

We are green

And mighty keen

2, 4, 6, 8

BANKSIA!!

So...due to the wet weather, we will be completing the other half of the sports day schedule on Tuesday when school resumes. Fingers crossed for the weather!

Well...that's about my life at the minute.....hope you all have a fab Easter Long Weekend. Back soon with some more interesting installments for you....like how to water bomb your Mum on a 40 degree day.....is that intriguing?

Uroo

This Kitty.......

This scrumptious little puss is "Chicken Nuggets". And sometimes........I'll be honest.......I feel for the guy. Why? Well, he is loved.......and when I say loved.....I am referring to the three doting little ladies who constantly try to dress him in doll's clothes, push him around in a pram, squeeze the life out of him whilst he is sound asleep, insist that he CAN jump on the tramp......and then this.......I think his face tells us exactly what he is feeling....don't you?

But isn't he just the sweetest boy? His favourite time of the day is.......yep...when the kidlets are in bed and he can come out of hiding.

This little girl......

Is constantly trying to mimic her big sisters. Her latest trick is telling us knock knock jokes-cause Lily is hooked on them......and it goes like this:

Am: Knock! Knock!
Me: Who's There?
Am: Binoc-li-tox!
Me: Binoc-li-tox Who?
Am: Binoc-li-tox...pause......lox.......d'ya get it.......?
And it's right about here that she then cracks herself up....literally.....and then I start with her, cause I am totally lost! Her humour is.....what can I say.....unique! What a little groover!

A Layout

This is a lo I finished about a month ago called "Childhood Gift". This is my big girl Lily at the railway station at age 2 1/2 years...barefoot and carefree....a reminder to me of how important it is to make sure our precious kids have the best childhood my husband and I can give them.
One that is happy, safe and free from the heavy troubles of the world-that we as adults can know so well.
I think we are doing a great job at it...so far.
I love the photo....it is one of my favourites...... and the interesting factor is......I took this with my Nikon SLR.......no digi back then in 2002, so it is absolutely untouched apart from the fact that I had it processed in Black and White. How times have changed for me!!!
Now I rarely own an un edited pic...there's always something to tweak!!

Saturday Night Fever (as in Cleaning)

Well.....hi all! Hope your Saturday night is as rocking as mine?? My husband has fallen asleep......the kids are all tucked in....and well.....I'm just not tired. With no dvd's to watch, I have just finished the dishes, scrubbing the bathroom....and wait for it.....I have baked a cake!
I KNOW........it's just sick! Who does these ludicrous acts on a weekend night?? This is a stark contrast to last Saturday night...let me say. Right about now Hubby and I were at a lovely wedding... on the dance floor busting out some moves....(I think we thought we were looking cool....but I have a feeling in my waters that we may have resembled Kath and Kel!)...But it was a lot of fun!
Oh speaking of fun-right before hubby fell asleep.....I decided we should worm our kitten "Chicken Nuggets"...and gee...did that go well....almost the most fun I've had since the wedding! He was repulsed at the taste of the paste.....Paul thought this to be hilarious....stood back laughing, and just let go of the cat...mouth full and pewking paste in a trail all the way to our back door! AWESOME......something else for me to clean-since I'm in the mood!! HA HA!
Anyhoo.......enough of my ramblings....I Have 500 wedding photos to edit....and a whole cake to eat. I will post some of my favs real soon!

Too Da Loo!!
