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

Never talk religion with a 3 year old

It can never end well!

Wyatt: Why are there flowers everywhere? Who made them?

Mummy: God made them, because they're pretty and they smell nice.

Wyatt: I don't like them. I think they smell yuck! *insert spitting sounds here* Did he make the rocks and the dirt?

Mummy: Yes, he made everything. Even the animals and the people.

Wyatt: Wow! Is God magic??

Mummy: Well yeah...kinda.

Wyatt: Mummy! There he is! Over there! I see God!

*Picture council worker in fluro yellow shirt standing on side of road*

Mummy: Umm...that's not God sweetie...God is invisible.

Wyatt: Wowwwwww that's amazin'!

*Silence for a few minutes*

Wyatt: I've got a comic book at home. Do you want to read it Mummy? It's made out of paper. And God.

Mummy: Umm...ok. That sounds like fun.

Wyatt: It is fun. God makes good comic books. Listen to me singing you a song now.

I'm a little teapot short and stout, I fell off the wall and broke all in peices. And the big mummy teapot couldn't put the baby teapot back together again...

Did you like that Mummy? Did ya?

Mummy: It was a good song...but it's a bit sad isn't it? The baby teapot is all broken.

Wyatt: Yeah a bit. I'll sing you a happy teapot song now.

I'm a little pot short and stout, here comes a big crocodile that's going to eat me all up! *Voice change to rahhhh crocodile* Now the little teapot is all gone cuz I ate him up...

That was a happy song wasn't it, Mummy?

Mummy: Go to sleep Wyatt...please!?!

Wyatt: Mummy! Ya killin' me!!

Good thing he's so cute...

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...
