the many faces of Luc

Luc sure knows how to turn it on.  He has many facades.  He also says some really crazily strange things and we have no idea what goes on inside his head sometimes!!
sweet Luc...butter wouldn't melt in his mouth!
Silly Luc

On the go Luc.... must be something more fun happening somewhere

Cheeky Luc

Being funny Luc...what, what you looking at me for!!

PLEEEEEEEAAAASSSEEEE...when he wants something really badly!!

Ohhh, why not....didn't get what he wanted!

Maybe I'll try a different funny face...that may work...

What about another cute look???

Really not going to give in to me are you???

Some random funny things Luc has said lately :
1. with a finger in his nose...."Mummy, I think I can feel my brain from here"!!!
2. Luc: Hi Mum, I'm just going to run away from home right now.  Mummy: really? Luc: acshawee (actually) your supposed to be sad and try to stop me!!!!
3.drops something on his foot and says..."oh gosh darn it"!
4. Luc says to Mummy, I wish we were a REAL family.  Mummy said "why aren't we a real family Luc"?  Well we don't have a baby, you need a baby to be a real family, like Sari and Jack, they have a real family cos they have baby Kai !!!

Easter 2011

What fun we had in Margaret River this Easter.  Not only our family but Valerie, Nanny, Grandpa, and the Barrett's were all there staying in Valeries house for the fun and games.  We had the great  "Great Big  Cricket Easter Challenge" as you can see in the photo above...here I am 50 not out...HOWZAT!! 

Such form!  I'm surprsied the Australian cricket team is not knocking down our door to sign me up...such talent!!

Here is beautiful baby Kai....what is he looking at????

Oh, of course, he is looking at me I am about to climb a tree!!! (that wasn't meant to rhyme on purpose, but I kind of like that is does!!)  Having a Rope Technician expert as a Dad is so cool!!

Sari and Luc.....loving squeezes, not choking or heads in  locks.....well, not at this time anyway!!

Daddy coming down the tree after he set up all the ropes and made sure it was safe for us.....did you check for snakes dad??

Jack, another future Aussie cricketer in the making....

my turn in the harness....

weeeeeee......

I can see the Ocean from here....

Luc so happy his turn is next!!

Luc's turn

Luc loving it!

Daddy entertaining us! 
Hey, haven't we seen this one already

I HEART Kai, he is the best baby in the world....almost 7 months old!

Luc "fishing"......Sari breaking it to him, you won't catch a fish on land Luc...

Luc not going to give up...Sari still consoling!!

5 in the bath....not sure how clean we got in this bath, but it was so much fun!!

A "Fairies" crossing at Boranup Forrest.  I was so hoping we would see the fairies!!


Dinner time for Kai, eating his oranges!

Beautiful forrest

Everybody put your hands in the air....Valerie as well!

Bushwalking with Aunty Em and Kai as well

Happy Easter....

Would he not make the cutest little Easter Bunny??? With his hand made ears that he made at Kindy, that he insisted on wearing to the shopping centre and hopped along like he really was the Easter Bunny!
Very Cute.
Be back soon with all the details of how we spent Easter 2011 :-)

nap time and kindy update

I would love to know what goes on in Luc's mind sometimes. Like WHY he would find it neccessary to take all the cushions and pillows off the couch and then drag his and Sophie's blankets into the lounge room only to climb on top of the mountain of cushions and fall asleep!!! Of course when you look as cute as this when you are asleep it is hard for this mummy to get annoyed. Don't you just love how when he sleeps he ALWAYS joins his hands together and tucks them under his head!!!

 Luc is enjoying kindergarten so far. He loves his teachers and they are loving him. Even saying how good, helpful, caring and well behaved he is!!! ( I still think they have got their kids mixed up but I'm running with it for now!!) He loves playing with his friend Niall!!! There are lots of lovely kids in his class but he only wants to play with Niall, (he has told me, the other kids are "all a bit too happy and remind him of Patrick from Spongebob!!!" so he follows Niall around and sits with him (almost on top of him!) and does whatever Niall is doing. I am thinking Luc is quite smart as Niall is actually double the size of Luc, I think Luc feels quite "safe" with Niall. I am not looking forward to the day when Niall is absent from kindy, Luc will be lost!! Kindy is only every Tuesday and Thursday and on Wednesday Luc does gymnastics. The coaches are amazed at how fast and strong he is....not us, just like Daddy he is born to climb!!

Interviewing Sophie

I interviewed Sophie this week, it was quite funny listening to her responses!  For almost every question she would first answer with..."ooh, thats  a hard one"...then I would write down whatever she said after that.  When I asked her, "who was the coolest person on Earth" she straight away said...Mummy!!!  I said, how come you didn't say..."ooh that's a hard one" and she said, because that one was easy!!! I liked that a lot :-)
