It's a boy!

We found out on Monday that this baby is a boy! and he looks to be perfect.

I love my boys but there are a few things that I feel like I will miss out on.
No pink frills, no girlie toys, no girls birthday parties, no little skirts with tights underneath, no sharing my favorite (ultra girlie) books, no mother of the bride .... And so on.

So I adore boys and at least I know what to do with them :D but a part of me mourns what could have been.

I was hanging the washing up yesterday and realized I am destined to have a line full of brown, gray, red and blue!

Meanwhile we think we have found a name that we love for this little guy.

My big boy

Is turning 6 in April. Harrison's birthday is not only in the middle of the school holidays but it is also on Good Friday this year so instead the party will be on April 9th.
He has requested a "bug" party, so even though I abhor all things creepy and crawly I will do my duty as a good mummy and put on a party fit for a Queen Bee (or in this case a King Bee!)

For Harrison's first birthday we went to the zoo and I made a monkey cake.
Second we had it at home and had a fish cake (not a fish cake but a fish themed cake! Haha)
Third was at home and it was a pirate party complete with pirate themed cake of a ship in water and a treasure island.
Fourth was at the in-laws and was a magic part with a magician, castle decorations and a Wizard's castle cake.
Fifth we took him to Wellington so we just had a family dinner at Denny's and a "cowboy snowman" cake.

So back to a big party this year, I have a million ideas buzzing (hehehe) around in my head and google has definitely been my friend again!

I sit and knit

A scarf to fit Harrison!

Last night I managed to sort through about 8 boxes and got them into one box of craft stuff, 1/2 a box of miscellany stuff to keep, one box of electrical type stuff and then paper recycling, rubbish and stuff to sell.
Meanwhile I found my knitting and my 1/3 finished scarf for Harrison that I started last Autumn and never got finished. So I have started knitting again. I am a very VERY learner knitter but I love the idea so I want to get better!
