Sculptures by the sea

Attempted Sculptures by the Sea down at Bondi on what was a scorcher of a day (35degrees!) Had good intentions to leave early but the reality is that when you have a bub this is never the case. As Isla was rolling around on the floor and Jaemie had a tendency to crawl over and poke her, I was keeping my eye on them. But this time, Jaemie was trying to feed her a lid and cracking up in laughter and didn't try and poke her but did try and give her a kiss. So cute!!!  After an hour of fussing around, babies were seated in the car seat and we were off.

I thought it wouldn't be as busy on a Monday but I was mistaken. Parking wasn't too bad but the park and walkway was overtaken by school kids, tourists and so was still crazy busy. Lugging the babies was a struggle as well making sure we had food, nappy change and spare clothes for them.

All we could manage was the sculptures around Tamarama Park and Tamarama Beach. The thought of walking to Bondi Beach wasn't even an option, my sis did think it was 2km away and the thought of managing the stairs and walking back to the car wasn't too desirable, so we had to drive over.

Great sculptures this year, I loved the tap and the golf green on the rocks,

Introduced my sis to my fave eatery of Sababa and we managed to feed ourselves with our bubs in our laps. Let's say that Jaemie ended up with bits of parsley and falafel in his hair, a messy affair.

 The water was definitely cold as seen by my sister's expression on her face.

Headed home after our outing and I was feeling immensely tired but Jaemie was still on the go. He's dropping down to one sleep when he's with me but childcare still manages to get him to have 2 sleeps. Have no idea how they manage that.

Guess what time I was in bed by??? 920pm.

Still haven't managed to work out how to use my computer so hence the lack of blogs but I'm getting there.

Til next time

Happy 1st Father's Day

It’s crazy to think that a year ago to this day, I was quite heavily pregnant and Pepe was miffed that he missed out on Father’s Day. So in 2011, Pepe celebrated his first Father’s Day in style. It started with changing a rather potent nappy and then attempting to feed Jaemie and his expression tells you all.

Jaemie loves balloons and this one was specific for this day. Thanks to Aunty for the balloon too. It was a little time consuming to get the wording on the balloon and Jaemie actually looking at the camera at the same time but I eventually got there.

It was a glorious day and we decided to go on a picnic to Botanical Gardens. We walked through Bangaroo and Jaemie decided the walk was too long and wanted to get out and have his lunch. I also wanted to take a few action shots which you’ll see soon enough. 

After having a play with his bib and spoon, he managed a few bites of his lamb and polished off his fruit salad. He has such a sweet tooth. He was happy as larry after his bottle of milk and crashed out in his pram. 

 

That was great for us as we popped into Baroque and bought a few macaroons and made our way to Botanical Gardens. We found a patch of grass in the sun and enjoyed our picnic lunch and finished off with some yummy macaroons whilst Jaemie was having a long sleep. 

We managed to get a kip and it wasn’t too long afterwards Jaemie woke up wanting to be apart of the action.

I was told at childcare that Jaemie loves his rice crackers so I bought a packet to check it out myself. It is sooo cute to watch him take these petite bites and wave the crackers about. Lucky we were outside as it does become a rather messy affair.

How cute is this, Jaemie made a card for Father’s day when he was at childcare. The card was covered in glitter, paint, a feather but I loved the photo inside showing him hard at work with his painting. 

Wishing all the fathers’ out there a very Happy Father’s Day.
