The day is over..

...my babies are 2!

Fun was had all around!

Present were wrapped in plain old brown paper, because really where does it all end up anyway?! $1.70 for a large roll of brown paper that will last ages compared to up to $4 for one sheet of wrapping paper.

We made cupcakes the night before. Some to take to preschool with them. And they were loved by everyone. Thomas the Tank Engine for Zachary and Fairy ones for Anna (although she found Thomas more interesting, she really is my little tomboy! I guess what so you expect with two brothers!)



They slept in a little for me - little sweeties! Then we opened up some pressies. Not to many, because you know these kids have way to much stuff already! Not in need of ANY clothes and definitely didn't need any more toys. So we just got a few things for them to celebrate this special day.

Anna getting her new bike - so they don't fight over the one we have!

(excuse the bum! Little Miss has decided she doesn't really like nappies and spends most of the time at home nappy free. Good sign I guess)

And she LOVES the baby doll rocker that Nanny got her!

Opening books...

Then they coloured in their new books until it was time to go to preschool

Anna had zonked by 5:30pm and Zach went to bed after a feed not long after. A long day but a fun day. I still can't believe they are two!

Good bye for now....make sure you check out my giveaway!

What happens when.....

...you leave one inquisitive 23 month old alone in the kitchen for a few minutes with the cupboard ajar.....

You get an entire bag of raw sugar all-over-the-floor!

.....you drop easy hints right before a trip to Canberra, right before Mother's Day.....

You get what you wanted - early - and he gets a great sale price! (Loving my slow cooker!)

And he also gets a great meal with meat so tender it melts in your mouth!!

.....And his favourite Cold Meat Fritters with the left over lamb roast from the other night!

See it all worked out for everyone! More on our trip to Canberra soon and how Zachary went with this check up.
