Dinosaur, Dragon & Bumblebee

We took a trip to our local Bunnings store and just by chance, there was a face painter there.  She was extreeeeemely talented.
You will see why below.  It took her less than 5 minutes to paint the boys faces and look!!!!!  I asked if she we could hire her for our next party!!!!

Dragon (Declan)....Grrrrrr!

Dinosaur (Lucas)....RAWR!

Brothers hanging out!

Bumblebee gone wrong (Nici).

Nici smeared the face paint before it dried but still looked cute. We thought he looked more like a robber than a Bumblebee....lol.

I have face paints and brushes, I should start practicing!!!

Boys will be boys

Here are some new pictures of the boys.

I haven't taken many photo's lately but you know what they say,  it's all about quality not quantity.

Ciao for now!

Space Ranger Nici turns 2!

It's hard to believe our little munchkin Nici turned 2 on the 29th April 2011.

We had a small party with a space theme not to mention 2 celebrations before that.

Here is the invite I created using some images I saw on the net as inspiration as I wanted the retro rocket vintage look and think I achieved it. I added ink on all of the edges to give it a vintage smoked effect then added glitter which the boys played with so will have to re apply and add a better image later.

All in all, I was happy with it and what made me more happy was the boys worked out what it was and ran around the house making rocket sounds and yelling rocket.... rocket!

I must have done an alright job.

Here are some pics of the decorations and games.

I think the Birthday boy, his brothers and Kieren had a fun time especially when it came to blowing out the candles.  Nici had his turn (being the birthday boy and all) then everyone else had their turn.  They had a hoot just blowing out candles!

The cake shape was inspired by something I found on the Internet. Will add when when I find it.
 

 

Our Beautiful Family!

(Taken by Ari, Thank you!) 

I will take another picture tomorrow showing you what I do with the decorations after I have finished.  To give you an idea.....the theme moves its way into the birthday boys room and stays there until his next birthday, next year.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Ciao for now!

Add a little pepper and salt

"I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg".

Our boys certainly love eggs and whenever I ask 'what would you like for lunch or dinner?' they always scream EGGS.

As a result, we are looking at buying little chicks as pets for the boys.  Nothing better than a productive pet I say!

Here are all three boys making scrambled eggs today.  The best part for Declan was grinding the pepper, for Lucas it was mixing the eggs and for Nici is was licking the salt.

You can see through all of this Lucas was focussed and concentrating on mixing those eggs.

Our boys are going to be future Heston Blumenthals!  I hope :) 

To cut or not to cut

Our three beautiful boys get their first little boy hair cut.  Very cute I say !
