The following is a list of all entries from the too funny category.

The lobbyist and the politician.

Ivy (at the top of her lungs): No - No, you spewed! You spewed.
Noah (pretending not to hear): I love you too, Ivy! Love you too.
Ivy: You spewed, I said, you spee - you - ed!
Noah: I not pooed Ivy.

2:20am Ivy: “I want to snuggle with Mummy! Iwantosnugglewithmummeeeeeee Iwantosnugglewithmumeeeeee!”
Mummy: “No, you stay in your bed.”

I’ll have the house salad, thanks.

Take one Mummy, confine her to the laundry.
Get into her ribbon stash (that another chef has neglected to pack away) and pull Every. Single. Ribbon from its roll and call it ‘pasta’.
Take scrapbooking cardboard flowers (hundreds of the little suckers) from the back room, sprinkle a few into the ‘bowl’ you have aquired from the […]


It’s hard to be angry when…

He climbs onto the bed, looking for me to read him a book but then changes direction when he discovers his father is home.
I put my hands out to him but he refuses…
“No, Mummy, you not read the book, Daddy read it”.
David and I have been having a ‘heated discussion’, so this obvious favouritism erks […]


Noah the funny, Noah the cute!

Mummy: “Are you a sexy beast”?
Noah: “I not a sixty beast. I Noah Yilliam Androo Trickensa”!


“Davey Oliver”

We were watching Jamie Oliver on the TV the other night.
We love his ‘bwilliarnt’ accent. Yeah?
Especially Dave. He likes to imitate Jamie and does a pretty good job of it.
Anyhow, Jamie was making this odd broad bean paste (on a side note, does anyone - besides my mother, actually like broad beans?) and he was […]


Only in my house…

Just when you think that you can’t take anymore and that you are at breaking point, you walk down the hallway to discover this:

I love my kids!
They rock and they totally made  my day, made everything okay, if just for a small moment in time. The belly laugh was SO needed.


Questions & Fodder…

Noah and Immy were playing together and things were not going the way Noah thought they should…
Immy: “No, don’t do that Noah, that hurts Immy.”
Noah: ” No”
Immy: “I won’t play with you if you are going to do that”.
Noah: (increasingly angrier) “NO”!
Immy: “Oh well, I will just have to…”
Noah (interjecting and pointing to Immy) : […]


Five things I sleep with on a regular basis these days…

 Something light before I hit you with an Ivy update…
* Dummies. (No not that kind of dummy) Pacifiers, binkys, Wa - wahs, suckers. That kind of dummy. I will usually wake up with at least one plastered to my back, cheek or various other exposed body parts.
* Socks. Ok. What is it with socks? Sometimes the kids […]


Things I will never EVER do again.

Totally ripped off from a post of Veronica’s (with kind permission, of course).
I will never ever wipe an old man’s bottom, clean up his mess and tuck him back into bed if he has the cheeky look of a dog with yellow eyes. (Have you heard the old country saying - never trust a dog […]


…and then there was Monday night.

They are restless again.
This can’t be good. It is cracking on to 9pm. Why are they still awake?
There has been no red cordial. There has been plenty of quiet time pre - bed. We have followed the bed time routine to the letter but for the second time they have not gone straight to sleep.
9:30pm.
C’mon, […]
