Greetings all,
Things I'm Loving this week . . . my children's faces, ready for Winter. Some are still sun kissed & looking tropical, but they're rugged up ready for snow (they have high hopes for a skiing holiday this season & follow those snow clouds which blow over Canberra for the Snowy Mountains). We'll see.
In reverse birth order ("for once" i hear my boy sing for joy) here are my children & their fresh little faces, in new coats, jackets & jumpers for Winter.

He still loves this sherpa beanie (from preschool), i think it was $10 in a SportsGirl sale, i mean SportsBoy. He lived most his life in tropical Darwin before Canberra, brrrr. I love his new Country Road coat with chunky checks in a size 10 which should last a few years. It will get a good work out fishing this weekend with handsome soldier.
Can you tell she's a little self conscious about her teeth?? Thumb sucking, oh it's going to cost gazillions to fix. Our sweet 3rd born daughter with the dinner plate blue eyes, she's so bohemian & tip toey, she floats through life. Is it wrong to put a child in faux fur & real sheeps skin, is it sending the right message?? She loves animals.
So nice to see this one giggling at a mistake she made, she strives for perfection & is the reason i just don't put pressure on my children - she is the kind of child who aims to please, loves praise & is devestated when she's wrong. I believe, any sport or academic success should be natural in primary school, not coached or pushed, there is plenty of stress in high school for serious hard work & results + teenage angst!!
Our high schooler, also a bit gappy in the tooth department, thus the pursed lips. First borns get such a rough trot (so they tell me), they are your experimental child, born into an adult world with weighty expectations. She had to train us & she's the special one who made us parents, we're all learning how to be parents & children together. I often ask "can i put you on pause, i need to think" when faced with an issue to solve or behaviour to quash . . . to which she might reply "frowny face".
It has been a particularly long week, exhausting but happy . . . at my sewing machine (market this Sunday) . . .cross country trials (all 4 children took top places) . . . my husband home which creates a different dynamic (i don't have to do absolutely everything & make every decision myself) . . . & an early parent/ teacher interview (one beautiful girl needs to spend more time on her reading & less time talking!!)
I feel like i've had to digest so much information this week, there are so many possibilities coming my way, great opportunities & a new directions on where we're headed (my business; building our home; children's study habits; state level sports; this blog!!) Trying to keep a level head. Yesterday i had the whole day off - no school runs - thank you husband, while i sewed non stop all day. I didn't think too much, just sewed & sewed & found my centre so i can get lost looking into these children's faces this weekend. Handsome soldier & i still look at them playing together & think, wow, we made all these lovely little people. So lucky. For more 'loving' pay PaisleyJade a visit today, love Posie

Oh your children are so so beautiful. I often look into my boys faces and think, yes, of course you look like that, I have known you forever and this is a face that I have known forever. It's like I always knew they would look like they do... like they have been here since the dawn of time. A-M xx

What a line up of cheeky faces! Well done for recognising their individual characters and allowing them to grow in their own ways.
What a lovely post Posie. My you have stunning children. They're just gorgeous, they don't even NEED to smile! I have no doubt you and handsome solider are proud and you should be, they are a beautiful achievement.
My parents were forever being told in the parent/teacher interviews that I talked too much. Who? Moi?? hehehe. Some things never change.
Hope you have a fab weekend, enjoying the frosty delights the season has to offer xo
Have a great weekend. Love the pics of the kids, might have to get handsome soldiers beanie done before he next visits. Brrr to the weather you have had down there so early in the season. Canberra is a no go zone for us next year, poo to that:( but still don't know where 2012 will take us. Looking forward to finding out all the goss:)
