When Archie comes over it's time for dress-ups...
Bunny fights dinosaur, and pirates say HA! HA! HAAA!




27 June 2012


Playing with Victoria
Is so much fun...

And we have the Soft Tummy incident to boot!



26 June 2012


First play date at Leo's place ~

With swords to make, rails to build,
Puzzles to puzzle over,
And delicious food a-plenty.



25 June 2012


Drawing in
The steamy windows
Of morning.



24 June 2012


A sunny Sunday at Centennial Park
Meeting Tom and accidentally Benjamin;
Zooming around with the new birthday bike.



23 June 2012


Making bubbles
With the duck at bath time.



22 June 2012


Miro loves playing the new Operation game he got for his birthday
But Matai doesn't like the idea of sharing!



21 June 2012


More Big Brother lovin'

(Later Miro says, "He's got very sharp claws!")



20 June 2012


Icy sunny morning.

Miro and Archie
Playing in the sandpit 
At Jubilee Park.



19 June 2012


Miro thinks he's hilarious
When Mummy asks for the paper towel
And he brings her everything but.








18 June 2012


Today we play putt-putt in the lounge room
Before having a sausage roll picnic in the garden.



17 June 2012


Octonauts to your Stations!

Captain Barnacles in his Under-the-Sea birthday room
Is soon joined by Archie-Kwazi and his friends,
Receiving a kiss from fellow birthday girl Victoria
When we all sing Happy Birthday.







16 June 2012


Miro adores being useful with his littlest brothers.

Here he helps little Lowan
To drink from a bottle.



15 June 2012


Mummy makes chocolate cupcakes
For Miro to take to preschool
To celebrate his birthday with his friends.

Miro tells Mummy he doesn't like chocolate cupcakes
And that birthday cakes should be made by the person having the birthday.

Nonetheless, when she pops in to deliver his forgotten lunchbox
There he sits, proudly at the head of his friends,
Where Theresa informs us that he ate his recess quicker than she'd ever seen
And now awaits his friends to follow, for the singing of Happy Birthday.

Miro is secretly singing inside.





14 June 2012


Miro loves his and Matai's new skateboard
But after watching Youtube photos of Bam Magera to psych him up
Miro only looks despondent.

"Only big boys can skate, Mummy," he says.

So we watch a video of a two year old boy doing it.
Miro looks even sadder.

"Only girls can skate, Mummy," he says. 
(The little boy has long hair!)



13 June 2012


Chaos at Melissa, Ollie and Nathalie's place!

Can you find all 6 kiddles?



12 June 2012


Every night as the boys are supposed to be winding down for bed
A new sense of excitement takes them
And we spend the whole teeth-brushing time
Saying "sh! sh! you'll wake the babies!"




11 June 2012


Squealing, shenanigans and general hooliganism!
As we descend from Nanna's in the elevator.



10 June 2012


At Joe's Mexican birthday party
Miro is delighted
To meet one of Uncle Shane's baby pigeons...



9 June 2012


Climbing trees in the garden starts off as fun
But tipsy Papa raises the bar
And takes Miro on a tree scaling adventure
Where all we can see are feet, and all we can hear is a little voice
Saying "Papa it's very high - I'm scared up here"
From five metres in the air.



8 June 2012


Walking to preschool
With Mummy and little brother.

Running along the footpath
With big bag bumping;
Socks and crocs.



7 June 2012


Flying around the room
Is the most relaxing way
To get ready for bed.



6 June 2012


Nanna arrives through the wind and rain,
Bringing pirate costumes and play tents,
And when the sky opens, the boys can't help themselves
But squeal with excitement and run on the wet grass.



5 June 2012


Playtime at Archie and Rose's house.
Participants multiplying!



4 June 2012


Dinnertime!
Making illicit whistles
Until the recorder is confiscated.



3 June 2012


At Miro's sleepover with Ayden
He forgets to bring the suitcase he careful packed
And the next day chooses not to borrow a jumper!

Luckily there is Grumps to cuddle into 
While watching fascinating videos of space shuttles.



2 June 2012


Knocking all the big legos down
At the Powerhouse Museum.
Vicky is devastated! Miro gleeful...



1 June 2012


Miro can never resist a photo opportunity with his littlest brothers.



31 May 2012


After preschool
Playing with trains in the garden...



30 May 2012


Playtime at Umina Beach.



29 May 2012


We bid Tomas goodbye
And drive back to Josh's
Where Papa takes the big boys for a paddle around the lagoon
And we all jump in the big bubble bath after!




28 May 2012


On baking a chocolate cake with Tomas and Joe
Miro puts his finger in the batter
Before it's been poured in the tin!

Oh no!



27 May 2012


Creating castles in the sand
As the sun sets over Byron Bay.
