To Colour or not colour...

I feel like a change.
My hair cut is awful at the moment I'm trying to grow it out but my patience is growing thin. I think a colour change is just what I need to put up with the cut til it's managable again. My colour is a very boring brown at the moment. I don't remember the last time my hair was brown all over.
I'd love to go this colour:

But my skin is too yellow and I go red way to quickly to be blonde all over so I'm thinking maybe a little blonde with some red. Michael would love it if I looked like this:

Bless him, he loves the ranga's. My skins not pasty enough to be red like this although it is a gorgeous colour.

Stay tuned. I may decide this weekend to just do it! After all I am getting new ink may as well change my  hair colour as well!

Victory!

I feel so mean but oh so victorious. Today my gate turned up and thank heavens it did!

Charlie has got to be the most mischievous child around. James was a terror but Charlie has bumped it up to a whole different level. I feel like I am constantly dragging him away from the computer/oven/dishwasher/fridge/plastics cupboard/cake tins/tea towel draw. You get the picture.

I know its an important part of learning and I should get over it. But he was driving me to insanity. We have a fridge lock, dishwasher lock, cupboard locks, draw locks. But he opened the cupboard so many times it didn't work anymore, he ripped the cover off from above the dishwasher, almost burnt himself on the oven door I don't know how  many times, and at least once a day he turns off the computer.  So I don't feel so bad. I have given him some wooden spoons and measuring cups, when he's 2 I'll think about taking it down but til then he's locked out!

He thought it was funny while I was taking pictures, but the tantrums came out in full force when I made lunch.

There's a first time for everything

Even though Charlie is my third baby he is the first one to fall asleep in the highchair. I have seen other peoples pictures and heard stories about it but never seen it first hand and to be honest I never understood how it happened.

Charlie woke up at 5.30am Saturday and Sunday. Thanks Charlie. Saturday we left town and he slept in the car. Sunday we stayed home and by 10.30am I knew he was tired and ready for bed so I made his lunch popped him in the highchair and 2 minutes later this is how I found him.

Poor boy I thought it was so funny I kept snapping away at him while he nodded.

Although he was fast asleep he was still clutching his banana toast. Bless him.

I love this outfit.

After Danielle from Hello Owl did a yellow My Place & Yours theme I have been looking for some pretty yellow dresses like this. No luck so far, the fact I'm not an 8yr old girl seems to be a problem.

Anyway I love this dress, and the shoes, and the bag I want it all for a trip to the markets or walk along the beach.

I feel the need to have these earrings although I feel to old to wear something so funky and I'm not an art teacher, they always seemed to have awesome earrings.

I'm trying to grow out an awful hair cut at the moment and I think these hair slides would be very cute, along with the charm bracelet, lots of lip gloss and of course big sunnies.

I'm sure by now you know where to play along at but if not head here 

I'm freaking out!!

I'm starting to think this may be a very good idea!

Today was Jack's first time on the school bus, I don't think I have been as stressed and nervous since his first day of school. I almost threw up when I woke up this morning.

Seriously its just a bus ride across town, you would think I was sending him to live with monkeys in the forest.

I never realised I was such a stresshead til I became a parent.

I think I would have been a good home schooling mum, I know I wouldn't have been as stressed as I am now. I have a 90% chance that James will be going to Kindy next year and I'm wondering if that's going to double my stress levels worrying about two kids in two different places. My brain understands that I can't keep them home with me forever but I'm unsure if my brain has explained this fact to my heart. Sending them out into the big wide scary world is really quite scary! 

Because I feel so guilty about sending him on the bus I told him last night he could have anything he wanted for dinner. He told me he'd like hotdogs and chocolate pudding then could we please watch Better Homes and Gardens. I could not have asked for a better first born.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to have a cry.
