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

What'd I tell you?

Made of awesome :oP

Well so far anyway. These are the toppers for my Easter cupcakes. Sooooo cute! I'll post the finished product on Friday :o)

And the theme for this week is...

FOOD!

My choice (I started Sunday's thread so I got to choose the theme), because I thought being Easter week, there should be food aplenty! Also, because I wanted to eat the ears and the butt off the bunnies guilt free :oP Ha, see you're going to have to go look now to see what I'm on about, aren't you? Just for the record, not claiming it as an original idea...I've seen it done in cartoon form and thought it'd be cute (and tasty!).

Oh, and I'm making Easter cupcakes for Friday morning tea at Nanna's, and they're going to be made of awesome (well they are in my head at least), so I wanted an excuse to show them off as well :o) Unless of course they end up sucking, in which case you won't be seeing them. I'll just describe them to you and pretend they were fabulous ;o)

4 days...

and 4 pictures so far. Wooohooo! Go team me! I'm so proud of myself. Only erm...361 to go! I'm really enjoying this whole thing. And the blogging part. I'm getting a little bit obsessive about blogging. I'm trying to be careful though, so I don't turn this from a "Look at the cute thing the kids did today" family blog into a "the nightmare that is the inside of my head" diary. I wouldn't do that to you, I promise!

And hey, speaking of cute things the kids did today - we obviously don't feed Saxon enough because this morning he tried to take a bite of his brother. Cute, right? Wanna see?

It's actually worse than this now. This was taken right after it happened, and the bruising hadn't come out yet. You can only faintly see the actual teeth marks, it looks more like he latched on and just gave him a giant hickey (see baby? He does take after you :oP). Either way, Wyatt wasn't impressed.

Who would have thought this could be so vicious?

Oh, and happy April Fools Day!

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...
