this is me and tobias watching the seasame street show in seaworld tobias is about 4 1/2 months

well we had a great day planned.... i packed the kids and i a lovely picnic homemade wraps made from scratch, potato salad, nibblies drinks all that jazz and we caught a bus out to go to the botanical gardens...

that didnt quite happen! buses dont apparently GO to the botanical gardens and id have to walk back to the city to get another bus home lol added to that the FINE 22 degree day didnt end up happening till late this afternoon coz it started raining when we got to town.

so we went what to do what to do? we decided to walk thru town and went to look at some fountains then decided to make the most of our awsum mum picnic and had it in the middle of town! well not quite haha we went to st davids park which is a terrific spot near the warf and had our lunch, i got some great photos!

ps.chloe wanted to wear her poncho then tobias wanted hers so she gave him her old one and he wore it most of the day lol

chloe and i enjoyed going and looking at all our favourite shops and chloe got some sunstones and a moonstone for her collection(sunstones have heaps of colours too so we had to get lots!) then we dropped into target where i remembered i had a layby hmmm now this layby was a trike which i put on before i foudn out id won the TIKE so i wasnt sure if i needed it anymore but i couldnt get my money back because

1. there were other things on the layby and

2. it was due to be picked up TODAY lol i found the letter in the mailbox when i got home!

so i grabbed it because its a 10 month plus smarttrike and he cant use the tike by himself yet and by the time he can use the TIKE he will be almost too big for the smarttrike! win win!

so we caught a cab home and put it together and my GOD it took forever! its pretty cool tho and i think tobias thinks hes a superstar! he pretends hes the one steering and talks on the phone that it comes with haha we had a lil run around the front and then later tonight we took a big walk with it.

tobias has been practicing his walking lots! he still prefers to crawl coz its ever so much quicker and he can go under stuff rather than around haha

my friend tamika has an online store and she had a sale to get rid of some stock! woot woot i bought up a storm i love these two outfits on tobias! he loves the chicken outfit as much as i do it makes him laugh lol and chloe is wearin some of the clothes in the top pics.

ok well thats enough from me! this has been a huge blog!

ok so chloe is home and as suspected she loves the tike. tobias is being pushed around everywhere and its loving it and the new tike is getting a major workout! these pics were takin yesterday when the tike went to the shop lol a couple of these pics remind me of ET lol remember when ET is on the bike with elliot haha ok it might just be me.....

so im loving the weight loss challenge going on on minti! im so motivated right now!

today i took the kids for a huuuge walk to the beach a few suburbs away we had a great time walking and playing on the beach. i forgot that the sydney to hobart yacht race would still be going on! we got to watch alot of the yachts go past and the kids really enjoyed that.

if you look behind chloe in the water you can see a couple of the yachts, behind tobias is mt wellington and if you squint reaaaaly hard you can see the casino lol

i got the idea of doing the photos like this off toosh and she stole the idea off lui thanks guys!  picasa 3 rocks!

well i won a tike! yes me! the person who never wins anything won a tike! and guess what? not only did i win a tike but i HAVE a tike now lol

i got a ph call from a lovely lady from the tike company who unfortunatly caught me right in the middle of a sleep- in . she was very nice and sorted with me when to have it delivered and all the rest and talked to me about how to look after the tike and what ages or size to use it, tobias has to get a bit taller coz it doesnt matter about age really its all to do with hight but the recommened ages are 2 to 6.

i chose a red tike because im planning on keeping it forever and putting it away for the kids for when they have kids! the cool thing about tikes is not only are they a great toy but they are carbon neutral, a tree is planted for every tike that is prchased i thought that was really cool! they even go to the effort to package everything in an evironmentally friendly manner with as little packaging as possible and by making it all recyclable!

it got here today and i was so excited! i had a fight with tobias over it because he was yelling wow wow and i needed to get the box open haha it was pretty easy to put together but im not sure if i did it right coz the instructions said i needed a phillips head screwdriver and i ended up not using it haha oops?

tobias fell in love with the extra allen key and it took half the day to make him let it go, good one tobias!

when we got it set up i put him on it and got him to hold the handlebars and raced around the house with him on it and he giggled all the way around haha hes got a way to grow till he will ride it himself but until then chloe and i will help .chloe comes home tomorow so she hasnt seen it yet haha she has a thing for tobias' toys already so the tike will be no exception.

thanks TIKE and MINTI for our tike we love it! what a great start to what looks to be a great year!
