Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

Anyone for a kiss?

Let me tell you about my Thursday...

Saxon woke from his morning nap so off I went to get him up. Wyatt was happily watching ABC2 on the couch. In the 5 minutes it took me to get Saxon out of bed and change his nappy Wyatt had taken himself into the kitchen (such a clever boy...he can now open the baby gate!) and helped himself to a drink of water. What's so bad about that? I hear you say. Ordinarily nothing...but today he decided it'd be nice to have blue water (we'll thank his sister for that little brainwave...but that's a whole other story!). He used an entire bottle of blue food colouring to achieve it. I had blue cupboards, blue floor...blue kid!

So I grabbed him and dropped him in the bathtub to try and soak him clean. Saxon, meanwhile, had crawled in beside me and was standing up holding the side of the bath thinking it was highly amusing to have a blue brother. Wyatt was brushing his (also blue!) teeth in the bath and I ran out to wipe the floor clean so they didn't end up walking/crawling in it and make more of a mess.

While I'm doing that (at lightning speed because they obviously can't be trusted) the cat starts making strange noises. I turn around just in time to see him vomit all over the dining room floor. And you'll never believe what colour it was! Yes...the little darling had fed the cat. And poured blue food colouring all over the cat food...because Milo likes it's like that apparently.

So there you have it. Blue kitchen. Blue child. Even blue cat puke. I was really loving my life yesterday!

Here he is...Sneaky Smurf!

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
