boot heaven

\

My beloved boots that I bought brand new off ebay for just $6 have finally after 5 years, told me they have had enough and would like to go to boot heaven. I was unaware how sick they were until I put them through a small puddle and my sock was instantly soggy. Until I popped them on the front step to take one last photo I was in denial of how dodgy they were looking, no wonder my feet hurt after I wore them the heel had basically worn away.

So now I'm on the hunt for another pair, I can't make it through a whole cold season without a kick ass pair of boots. I wonder if I can find another brand new pair for six bucks. Me thinks I am dreaming!

Rain Rain...

...Go away.

Were having a seriously wet week.

This morning Jack still has a yucky looking eye so for the forth day in a row he's stuck at home with me. Poor kid.

Today is one of James' Kindy days so instead of driving him the 2 blocks we decided to walk in the rain.

I have fond memories of going for walks in the rain at their age. Now as an adult I realise my mum didn't drive so if we were going somewhere we would have walked. At the time it seemed like a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Yes I dressed my children in shorts and gumboots. Its raining but its still Queensland.

These are all the boots I found in our shoe box, Charlie was already wearng his blue gumboots. Seriously just because your a boy doesn't mean you must wear blue.

My aim for this winter is to not buy them any more blue shoes/clothes. Five pairs of blue gumboots but only three children. I am hopeless.

I'm very late with this weeks polly, but I did mange to finish one. First time in ages I've played along!

This weeks theme is flowers. I embraced the hair flower like every female in the world after getting hooked on Sex and the city, since then I've been a big fan on flowers on clothes, bags, hair accessories.
When I typed flowers into polyvore this dress caught my eye and it screamed Carrie at me. I had to match it with some seriously kick ass shoes, cute matching hair flower, funky jewellery and subtle makeup. I want it all!

I love this weeks MPAY theme. Every ones posts have been hilarious. I never thought tea towels would be so fun.

So this is what tea towel we are using right now. We go through tea towels like we go through nappies. I'm not sure what happens to them but after an a few hours they are wet dirty and need to be washed.

Anyway I've inherited my mothers weakness for charity's not being able to say no. Hence the guide dog foundation tea towel.

On Sunday my funny looking boys let me take some pictures of them in their new adorable outfits. They decided to pose, I'm not sure what models they took their inspiration from, I don't think we'll be getting any phone calls from talent agencies anytime soon though.

My very talented friend started making her daughter some gorgeous pyjamas and now she's spending her days making retro/vintage inspired clothes for little girls all over the place, thankfully for me she has branched out to boys clothes.

                    As soon as I saw this outfit I knew it was for James and guess what it was in his size.

Perfect.

While I was picking up James' cute outfit I got mesmerised in the beautiful things. Talk about girl envy!

I managed to get Jack this fun dinosaur set. I could have brought home some seriously cute girl stuff.
