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

Not a good day...

Our poor little munchkin is sick. We've all had various coughs and sneezes lately, but Wyatt seems to have copped it this week. Sore throat, fever, can't talk (just squeaks at us), and last night he woke up struggling to breathe and barking like a dog. In fact, if anyone has had the pleasure of spending some time with Max during a thunder storm, you'll understand exactly how Wyatt sounds right now!

Anyway...had to call Daddy home from work and take a trip to the Dr's. Wyatt's not a big fan of Dr's at the best of times, and he was adamant that they were NOT going to put a stick in his mouth (tongue depresser). Of course, they had to check his throat to rule out tonsilitis. Did not go well. We tried to beg, bribe, plead...there was no way he was opening his mouth. In the end we had to hold him down and forcibly open it. It wasn't fun for anyone :o(

The verdict was no tonsilitis, but he has croup. God only knows how we're going to get his medicine into him tonight!

When we came home he wanted to make dinosaurs, and after his ordeal this morning I was happy to let him do whatever he wanted. So I melted the chocolate, and he filled the molds all by himself. They looked a little messy from the back...

But the other side looks good :o)

And we had chocolate left over. And candy cups in the pantry. And peanut butter. I really had no choice!

Peanut butter cups. Possibly the best thing to ever come out of the United States (well after Buffy of course...)

Peanut Butter Cups?

Where are mine?

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...
