we spent the morning at the beach with lara and rohini and all the kids!it was frezzeing but the kids had a ball!!

kingston and neveah

making sand castles

so i finally made some playdough today!!kingston loved it!!

snowman elephant and a snail kingston made :)

rolling, he played with the playdough for ages!!now i just need to get some playdough toys, i went through my draws trying to find stuff he could use but i didnt have much!

Lillian has had the blow up castle up and kingston has been having sooo much fun on it!!

life

"i'm a big boy now mum!!"

Char bottle fed this cow 'Elle' when it was little so it was totally happy to be patted!was kinda neat!

kingston had no fear and also no idea that u normal dont pat cows! every time the cows went in the shoot he would say "owwiee" haha was so funny

on the farm for the day!

i took the littles in for a bit and look where i found them, hope grandad doesnt see them!!

i seem to have been doing lots of baking/cooking lately and kingston is right into helping me, he'll push a chair over so he can stand on it and watch, wants to lick every thing, and says 'num num' the whole time!he licked this untill it was clean, took about 15mins, and he wouldnt let me take it off him untill it was tottaly finished!!haha he was a mess by the end of it!!

getting my artsy fartsy on

i dont normally do post like this but i saw this the other day and LOVE it!!

creatively inspired!!

the things we do for our kids!!!!!

APPLES!! most ppl would have no trouble at all with this but for me its a big BIG problem!!!i pretty much have an apple phobia! so kingston usually has porridge with apple sauce in it in the mornings, anyway the other day i ran out of my big stock up and was so dreading making more, actually tried to put it off completely but for the good health of my son and some convincing from my mother i started the dreaded task again!!

found some gynormous(how do u spell that word?means huge)ganny smith apples, 45cents per pound and left the store with 2 massive bags of apples. now to find the courage, yes i said courage, to handle, peel, cut, mash and smell these ... trying to find the right words to discribe what i think of apples .... foul things. my in-laws make apple sauce every summer and have these fantastic inventions that peel and cut the apples all with a twist of the hand!so i borrowed one of them and got to work. Kingston entertained himself with the pots and pans and was putting apples here and there, so when i thought i was finished peeling and cutting the last apple i looked around the house to see if i could see any of the apples kingston had been playing with. hunted high and low and couldnt find any, so started to clean up. thank goodness i wasnt finished cleaning up when i opened the cupboard to tidy up some of the trays kingston had been using and found five apples placed nice and tidily in the cupboard(in the photo above). my tourture drags on... more touching smelling peeling juices cutting grossing of these apples. i said to myself and to kinston multiple times "i'm doing this ALL FOR YOU kingston!!ALL FOR YOU!!"

anyway, he does love the apple sauce tho!!thankfully!!!

he was saying chesse and the camera in this pic

and as long as he likes the food, he has to feed himself!!
