CHANCES ARE ...........



...if it's hot during the day you will find me and my children at home with the air condition on

....if it's 6.30pm we will be walking towards our local beach for a swim or two ;)

....if we run out of milk, my eldest (9years) will be more than happy to go and buy from our corner local store which is 2 blocks away / 10 minute trip by walk

.....if it's 10p.m. we will be on our way back from the beach

.....if the kettle is on than my hubby is home

.....if you go in the kids room there will always be something built / blocks or dress up clothes in the middle

.....if it's hot and humid I will always be there ready to complain :)

.....if the house is quiet this means that we are not there

......if it's 5.30p.m. the kids are gathering all our beach towels drinks etc...... in preparation for beach

.....if you have enjoyed this, then why don't you play along too and link your self with http://www.thisfamilyof4.blogspot.com/2009/07/chances-are.html

PICKY EATERS .....




..... how many different menus do you prepare for supper? Why is it that there is always someone at the table who will complain, doesn't want to eat or simply tells you "I don't like this" (without even tasting it first)? Now I have had my share with picky eaters and finding a solution is not easy. Experts tell you bribery does not work but it will backlash. How do you my dear bloggy friends handle picky eaters, if you have any that is ??

TAG...



I have been tagged. The rule is to post the sixth photo from the sixth folder, tell the story behind it and tag 5 friends. Well this photo was taken last week whilst my family and I were in Gozo. Photo of a game of Rummikub between me and hubby taken early in the morning whilst kids were still asleep.

I will pass this on to only 3 friends (as my other two Ivy and Mary have been tagged by Isabel):

Kiki
Clair
Kathrine

Hello friends, we are back. Back from a few days away from Malta. We spent the last five days in a tranquil farmhouse in Gozo. It was brilliant!! We had lots of family time, got to do some historical outings along with some good food and great company. Here's a collage showing some of the things we were up to.

 

PLEASE SISTER, LET ME CUDDLE UP WITH YOU!! Well the kids each have a bed they can call their own however they always end up like this !! No matter how many arguments and fights they have during the day and the thousand times they tease each other........they always end up cuddling one another. I think this is so precious.

29 WEEK VERY BIG BABY BELLY

Oh my it's big!! the only couple of reasons why this belly is so big are a) this baby seems to be bigger and taller than my other two and b) I have gained lots of fluid !! OH MY how much I need to walk and jog after baby is born to get back to a hopefully pre baby no.3 shape. I am not aiming to be a pre baby two figure because I know it will be impossible, however I will be happy with a pre baby 3 figure.

Oh and if you have not realised the little white spots are not a camera defect but a bathroom mirror full of splashes !!

For my daughter's birthday we went down to the beach. Here are some photos capturing the day. As you can see in the photos there are two cakes, well one for school and the other to share between us :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DEAR ISLA XXXXX

Week summary in photos....... Yesterday we were invited over at our dear friends house to celebrate her daughter's 5th birthday and what a lovely time we had. The kids were entertained. They did some cute crafts, one of them being this frame. Cake and food was also yummy. Thanks Isabel. Photos also include some of our walks were we get to explore, the kids love this kind of walks and they get so carried away too!! Also here is a photo of me standing up this time ;), before heading for the beach. I hope you all have a good week.
