Well once again Harry has made an appearance in the magazine 'Take 5', this time on account of my mum - his photo was so cute that it actually appeared twice in the magazine, on the contents page and on the kids photo page.
Harry is wearing a rabbit suite that was actually made for me when I was some where around his age. I believe he spent a day at Nana's house playing dress up and striking a pose for nan when the camera was out!
I'll have to send in some pictures of Mitchey and see if we can get him published too, don't want him wondering one day why he didn't get his 15 minutes of fame too!
Thanks for putting it in mum - Harry loves it, and I hope you get your $50 bucks prize money soon!

The things we do to our kids!
Just a quick catch up to share some photos that I thought were way too funny not to share! Yes these are the dreaded 'show at your 21st birthday' photos'. Taken at mums house, poor Mitchell was the only kid that we could manage to get a photo of in the crazy wig, Tre and Harrison didn't want a bar of it, and I guess rightly so, when your mean old mum posts them on the web!!!
Love you Mitchey!!! xoxox

Easter 2009
What can I say, celebrating Easter with young children has made the holiday so much more exciting and wonderful than what I ever imagined!
When Harry got up and came into our room, he knew it was Easter, but did not really know what it entailed! We all got up and took him out side, and that is when the excitement and the hunt began!
Harry was told that once all his eggs were found a special treat was also waiting from him, and was hanging from the clothes line....... We didn't really think that too much chocolate was necessary so we thought he would also like a small gift. Lets face it, I am not going to let him eat very much chocolate at a time, and by the time the grandparents and aunties spread the love we will end up with a fridge full of chocolate eggs that will probably cure late night cravings for myself that is really not needed!!!
Oh and it did not take long to realise that mum and dad was actually going to let him eat some of the collected chocolate - this was all before breakfast so he was allowed a few bites, then had to have some cereal before continuing on any type of chocolate binge!
Previously I looked forward to Easter, because it meant that I got a 4 day paid holiday from work and it generally meant a road trip to some holiday house, or a trip to see my Melbourne relatives (which I do miss doing I might add). Now with Harrison at the age of 3 1/2, his innocence and excitement at the prospect of some silly rabbit hiding chocolate eggs around our back yard was so amazing to watch.
We got up just before him and scattered some small eggs around the back yard for his own private Easter egg hunt - we didn't hide them too hard, he is only 3 and getting up at 6am does not really put you in the right frame of mind to put them in too many bushes or hidey holes around the back yard.

Graham provided a helping shoulder ride to help reach the special gift..........
And of course knowing my darling sons obsession with Thomas Trains, he got a new one to add to the collection, this time 'Gordon' Train was provided to perhaps take over the role of favourite train from 'Henry' (only time will tell!)
Being a baby unable to eat chocolate did not stop Mitchell from getting his share of eggs either, he wont get to eat any this year, but the pretty paper did occupy his attention for quite awhile as well! Mitchell received a couple of new outfits instead of chocolate, which is a little boring, but I look forward to the next few years of having two innocents to share the experience.
Twinkletoes
I really have not had a chance to update my blog of late, the boys are keeping me very very busy, but I just noticed from my last blog that I promised to post some pictures of the Twinkletoes pictures that I have had done of the boys. These are probably some of the most precious memento's that I own from my babies, the type of items that you usually say 'Hey if there was a fire this is what I would grab first' (after of course the kids, husband and pets).
This first one is the one I had done of Harrison when he was 4 weeks old, luckily at this age we were able to capture almost a half smile, I think it was a lucky shot because I don't think actually smiled until he was about 7 weeks old.
Next is the one that I recently picked up of Mitchell, at the same age of 4 weeks it shows that already his hands and feet are much bigger than what Harrison's were.
I messed up when doing my order for Mitchells and did not get the same color frames, but oh well, what can you do.
