Monday mornings are always a mad rush in our household, actually who am I kidding EVERY morning it's a madhouse!!! This morning was no different to any other, running late as usual tryng to get Oliver ready for school...you have no idea how difficult it can be to dress a hyperactive 3 year old. Anyway about to put on Oliver's shoes, when, at the corner of his "I miss nothing" eyes he spots the shoes I selected and protests "I do not want these (shoes).....I want my FAST shoes". Obviously certain shoes are faster than others...I need to get a pair of them "fast" ones for my next wedding! Actually them "fast shoes" may get me out of the house  faster..at super-sonic, break-neck, high speed....the kids a mere memory... the peace and tranquillity of the road ahead....sanity....utter bliss!  Where can I buy them!  Posted pics of Oliver...can't post a pic of them "fast shoes", as they are hideous, DH (Dear Hubbie) bought them!

No words....just a random picture post. Marné's wedding pics tommorrow afternoon.

I quickly popped into Woolies today (...their pesto is just the best!) and was blown away by all the Christmas decorations all over the place, I can not believe that Christmas is around the corner.......when  did all of this happen? They say the older you get the faster the years go by....I must be getting old!! I have been meaning to post an update on the boys (the twins almost a year..can you believe it!) for months, and had the PC crashing, the editing backlog etc. as excuses ...as there "simply was no time!" The Xmas decorations did it!...kicked my ass into gear, so here you are (I know some of you have been asking for months!)...some recent pics before they turn 18.  Jake (the Screaming Socialite) in front, and Liam (the Terminator) at the back.....and "no" they are not identical. My little superhero - Oliver

The day that my son Oliver has been looking forward to for the last month finally arrived this weekend...his Party! The theme he chose was a "fire engine party"!...Those that know me,  know that I do not do things in halves. So I made fire engine invites,  read up on games on the internet and approached our local fire station to see whether the guys could make a visit. Well what a party it was if I do say so myself!! The local fire team were great, they brought the biggest firetruck they had,  gave the kids a ride in the Fire engine and "showered" our home with their water hose. And as an extra treat for the moms ...we got the best looking firemen too!...mmmmm.....I don't know what it is about men in uniform! (I might try and persuade my son to do the fire engine party again!!! ....purely for his benefit,  you understand!!) A couple of pics...       Oliver doing the obstacle course. Not sure if I the parents appreciated my games ...but the kids had to put out a real fire and rescue a fluffy toy from the tree. Happy Birthday Oliver!!!
