Phone pics catch up

Finally, I can get pictures off my phone again so here's a random selection from the past few weeks.

This is 'Fighter Man'.  According to Eli 'he looks quite powerful, doesn't he?'!  His utility belt has his fighting tools: About ten tent pegs and the handle of my broken watering can!

Molly at the nurses office for her one year check up.

Our big standing girl.

This is 'Spanner Man'.

Molly is one!

Wow.  It's hard to believe that a year has gone bye. She's almost walking now and not so little anymore.  (Although at her one year check up she weighed in at 1.5kgs less than Eli did at the same age so I guess she's not that big!).  We had a small party on Saturday to celebrate with Anna and Peto and the Hateleys.  Molly loves her big brother and is so excited when he gives her even the slightest bit of attention.  She thought he was hilarious is his party dress!

How did this baby get so big?

Dress ups

Eli is pretty obsessed with costumes and superheroes.  I don't think there is a day that goes by at the moment where he's not in costume at least part of the day!   I've managed to capture most of them.

Mighty Mouse.  Shane was telling him about Mighty Mouse at dinner the other night and he could not contain his excitement.  He was literally shaking and saying how he just couldn't believe that there is a mouse that is like superman!

Wonder Woman.

Zerg.  Buzz Lightyear's nemesis.  Zerg and Wonderwoman are Daddy creations on my first day back at work.  Zerg's gown and Wonder Woman's shirt and pants are part of the amazing bag of hand-me-down costumes we got from the Ingolds at Xmas time.

With the Lucas family in Sydney on New Years Eve.

Meeting my cousin Tobin's kids at Christmas time.  Milla, Taivis and Charlie.

Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle).  The 'shell' I created was just a piece of cardboard but the Ingolds gave us an amazing turtle shell so the latest version of the costume is better.  I just haven't taken a photo yet.

Eli made this one himself.  It's a crown.

Molly might not realise it yet but she likes costumes too!

Spiderman.

Super Girl!.  Amelia's costume.

Spider.  We had to go to the climbing web ropes at the playground with this one on to be the spider in the web.

This one never gets old and is definitely the favourite!  Although now he usually wears his awesome reversible Batman/Superman cape that Pip, Paul and Sebastian sent for Xmas.

A shark.  Eli named him 'Mastero'.  Not sure why!

Captain America and Positive Man.  Our friend Peto made this Positive Man costume!

This one might be the least creative.  This is Aquaman!

 Family mustache's. 

 'Captain Skellet Bones'.  Thanks Auntie Jessie!

 Halloween.  Eli started the day as a bat....
But couldn't resist the superhero urge and decided to turn into Superman later in the day!

 Clark Kent.  He's a regular at our place.

Last playgroup

Sadly we won't be able to go to playgroup next year because it's on a Wednesday and I will be working on Wednesdays.  We'll miss Cooper but he has invited Eli to his house for a cup of tea when his cubby house in the back yard is finished!
Santa came to the final playgroup for the year and gave Eli and Molly a book.  Molly was pretty impressed with him and kept crawling back up the front to say hi!

Yesterday we went to the sculpture park where they have a pretty cool new exhibit of giant people.

It was a busy week.  On Tuesday we went to the zoo with the Hateleys.

And of course we played superheros and baddies a LOT!  Here is Eli's 'Aquaman' costume!!!
