lip gloss....

Lucy covered from head to toe with lip gloss!!

All I can say is "thanks Aunty Karen for introducing Lucy to lip gloss."  One morning while Aunty Karen was looking after Lucy, they decided to go shopping.  While shopping Lucy asked for some lip gloss so, of course, Aunty Karen said yes.  After a few tips on how and when to apply this lip gloss, Lucy came home with the new purchase.  The next day however, Lucy must have forgotten the tips from Aunty Karen (or decided she had a better idea which I think is more the case) and applied the lip gloss ALL over herself!!  from her hair right down to her toes. I worked this out when Lucy came downstairs to me and said "I haven't been doing anything Mum" and I hadn't even asked her a question. So as she walked to me I could smell a very strong strawberry smell and at first I couldn't see anything until she came real close to me and I could see this slimy stuff all over her face with pink speckles.  When I asked her what she had done her reply was "I put on my lip gloss"  I couldn't help but laugh.  We then went upstairs so Lucy could have a bath to see if the lip gloss would come off but we couldn't have one until I took a photo as evidence for Aunty Karen that I don't think Lucy is ready for lip gloss. 

the first one is GONE!!

I can not believe that my little girls tooth has fallen out.  The tooth fairy has visited our family quite a few times this year with both boys and now Annie loosing teeth.  Annie was so excited that her first tooth has fallen out and she is waiting so patiently for the next tooth to fall out too.  I think it will be any day now!!  It also seems that the tooth fairy is VERY busy at the moment because she was not able to take Annie's tooth the first night so Annie had to wait patiently for the tooth fairy to come the next night.  I think the tooth fairy gave her a little extra for all that waiting!!!

Annie with her first gap!!

book week

At school each year they celebrate book week by getting the kids to dress up as a book character.  The kids put alot of thought into who/what they want to dress up as.  Benjamin even orgainsed Mama to make him a special costume.

Benjamin dressed up as Jesus.

Benjamin was adamant that this is who he wanted to dress up as.

Annie was a fairy

Matthew actually had South America Day so he dressed up as a fanatical soccer fan

Lucy did not want to miss out on the action so she dressed up as a spotty cow.  Even though she is not at school, Lucy does not like missing out on ANYTHING!!
