man club meeting

man club meeting
Originally uploaded by summer pickles

Our home was witness to many man club meetings over the weekend, thanks to a visit from our dear friend Tyges.

What is man club? Well, apparently it's when all the boys get together and chat, have laughs, and I am on the outer (because, yes, I am a girl). Mr Pickles tells me that there are many man club meetings to look forward to. Have to say I am not too distressed by this... they can have the man club, I will have the mummy cuddles - perfect!

Thanks Tyges for coming down to visit, especially since you missed out on the warm sunshine back home! It was sooo lovely to see you and fantastic for the little guy to meet one of his future lifelong friends and heroes. Can't wait to see you again in a few weeks!

Oh, and a couple of notes about the photo...
1. no there is no editing or photoshopping... this is the natural light in The Gherkin's bedroom... isn't it gorgeous?
2. the beautiful oobee blinkie on the right is The Gherkin's beby swap gift from the very lovely Leslie. You can go shopping for Leslie's beautiful creations here . We love all of Leslie's creations in this house, and are now lucky enough to have Billee the oobee and the oobee blankie in our home xo

Chat soon xo

the competition hots up....

Thanks to those of you who have thrown your hat into the ring and are giving our baby in the making guessing game a good go! I wish all of you good luck though.... with Laura in the competition, it makes things a whole lot tougher for everyone else (she is good at this game). But be brave, give it a go!

Speaking of things hotting up, this weekend was a glorious one in sunny Melbs, and we had the opportunity to learn something new sbout our little person. Bub either loves the sunshine, or will only ever be able to sleep in a very dark room... sitting in the sun this weekend, bub got so active I was watching the chandelier on my discobelly tshirt dance all over my stomach... hilarious!



This weekend also saw the start of some developing tensions between James Brown (aka the pug) and bub... JB was very unpleased yesterday when he was firmly booted whilst sitting in my lap. Poor little dog will learn a whole lot about his position in the house in the coming months...

Anyway, keep your guesses coming!
