Life Lately

So if you can't tell from the photo dump above.  July is birthday month in the Culbert household!  Angus turned 3 and husband turned.......as he put it twenty eleven.

We celebrated with balloons, donuts and a little pirate on Gus's day and with family on Ross's. (and a party hat Gruffalo.  a new obbsession in this house)  'terrible teeth in his terrible jaws' ha!

A bit of a look at what I do at my day job. Love me a good day of merchandising!

That's my bestie up there.  Doing what she does best.  Being fabulous!

We celebrated our bestie's housewarming yesterday.  They are officially homeowners!

Woohoo!  So proud of them.  That's the four of us.  In 2008.  Looking all young and stuff.

And, I got to enjoy the rareness which is the bug falling asleep on me.  Love, love love!

Little snores.  (insert heart bursting)

Looking forward to a new week! How about you?

Love Lil xx 

Yep, it was a week ago..........Our Easter Sunday

Oh, these four!!! They just make the world go round and Easter a lot more fun!

The chocolate highs, the squeals of excitement, the running, the jumping laughing and more squealing!  

Our easter sunday was low key and fantastic.  Spending it with our fabulous family. 
We are so lucky that our Bug gets to grow up with his cousins.  I hope that they still hug each other hello and good bye when they are teenagers and way to cool to be doing that sort of thing.

Hope your easter break was all kinds of awesome and you are enjoying the Anzac break too.   Lest We Forget.

Love Lil xx

The one where we go to the Australian Museum

This was Gus at the museum, like the whole time!  We were so excited to take him to see the Dinosaurs!  We had it all planned out.  He would run around, pointing at all the different types of skeletons, calling them all Buddy and Tiny (Dinosaur Train) and we could get some cute pics and he would LOVE it...........FAIL.

Gus was so excited on the train (sorry, 'Mumma it's Dinosaur Train') eating his little donut treat and pointing things out to Ross on the way.  He chatted to us and pointed to us some more on the walk through Hyde Park, but as soon as we entered those grand old doors of the Museum....ZZZZZZZZ.  Out like a light.

Usually Ross and I do a happy dance when Gus naps, but the one day we are jumping out of our skin excited to take him somewhere new?  He crashes.

I haven't been to the Australian Museum since a school trip back in the early 90s.  And you know what?  It hasn't changed.  Ross and I walked around with Mr Sleepy sleeperson for 2 whole hours.  We got to see skeletons and rocks and stuffed birds.  I'm usually a massive museum girl.  Like I'm the boring one that looks at everything and reads every description.

But even I couldn't get into it.  The cafe saved us for the last hour with lattes and banana bread.

Finally the bug woke from his slumber and we practically raced up to the second floor so Gus could witness the wonder of the Dinosaurs.  First thing he sees, a stuffed Sabertooth Tiger and he screams and I mean SCREAMS the place down.  He spent the rest of our visit clinging to either Ross or I with his head in our necks. 

Here's a few grainy iphone photos of our 'interesting' time at the Museum.

^Just in case I forget what a funnel web looks like over summer! (scaredy cat mum)^

The rest of our afternoon was awesome though, I have to admit.  We strolled down to the Opera House, realised it was way too touristy and then wandered around the Rocks markets for a few hours.  Oh, how I love a good market!  So many great stalls and I also got to enjoy a Rock's market institution, Corn on the cob on a stick!  Yum, yum buttery, salty goodness!

Gus got to ride on the Dinosaur Train again (city rail) and made friends with pretty much any passenger that sat near us on the way home.  God did he crash that night though, a sign of a successful day out for any 2 year old.

Oh and here is a pic of Gus as a tiger, cause its adorable any way you look at it!

Did you ever have plans in your head that didn't quite turn out the way you thought they would?
