Caleb and Hayley never looked so alike.

Life has not slowed down much for us at all. I returned to work new years day and have been working full time since then, which has been rather exhausting and I am glad to say that as of this week I am now back to 20 Hours of work a week ( Feb 5th).
As it is summer the kids are on holiday from all there usual activities but thankfully Childcare is still running so the kids attend that while Im at work. The kids played well together most of the summer break but we are all looking forward to the return of kindy and swimming.
So not a whole lot to update on this month.

December - Christmas Update

December was a very busy month, Kindy finished, along with swimming lessons, childcare and music. Thus meaning we had lots of Christmas party's to attend.Caleb dressed as a pirate and Hayley as a Fairy for a birthday party they went to. They then wore this same clothes for the next 3 days.

Massive update October and November

November 3rd Hayley turned 3. We weren't going to do much then Caleb informed Hayley that she was having a big party, so I had to race to the cake shop so Hayley could choose what she wanted me to make. I was up till midnight icing this cake and then the following day we called all our friends and invited then round for an impromptu lunch. Lots of fun, Hayley was super excited, she just wanted a cake and someone to sing Happy Birthday.
