Mr 4’s Book Week outfit, all ready for tomorrow 🐑 . . . #bookweek #bookweekcostume #whereisthegreensheep #greensheep #crochet #crochetlove #crochetbeanie #crochetvest #crochetcostume #australiancrochetcommunity #mummymadeit #handmade #abbymakesstuff

Arrived home from a funeral at 10pm last night. Kids overtired this morning. My keys are locked in the boot of the car. Mr 4’s favourite shoes are also in the boot. We walk to school with his 2nd favourite pair of shoes after a good amount of crying. I forget to take an umbrella. You know how the rest of this story goes 🤦🏼‍♀️ . But I have a new library book, and can no longer go and run all the errands I needed to today. So now it’s ABCkids all day for Mr 4, and book and coffee all day for me, at least until it’s appropriate to open the wine 😬

I was talking with someone recently about book week, someone who clearly does not know me very well yet, because they mentioned how crazy some parents are with book week, going all out with hand made costumes. . I reached into my handbag and pulled out the crochet project I currently have on the go - a Where is The Green Sheep vest for Mr 4 😂 I am definitely one of those parents. Sorry 🙊 . I’m a teacher, a bookworm and a creative. This is my Christmas! . To the parents who are not book week enthusiasts though, I get it, my equivalent is bake sales and ‘bring a plate’ occasions 🙈 We all have different strengths and interests. Just like our kids. . And really, the kids don’t care where their costumes came from any more than they care where their cakes have been baked. Don’t stress 😊 . . . #bookweek #whereisthegreensheep #crochet

We spend all summer watering everything constantly trying to keep it alive, then comes along winter and the green weeds are everywhere and we want to pull them all out. I’ve pretty much left the weeds to it this year. At least it’s green 😂

Happy National Tree Day! We spent our morning helping to plant 3000 thatching grass plugs in the Kaurna Park Wetlands, to help re-establish the Yellowish Sedge Skipper Butterfly population that became extinct in Northern Adelaide 30 years ago. It was mostly fun, a bit muddy and there was admittedly far more whingeing involved than I would have preferred. Might have been a bit of an ambitious undertaking, solo parenting with a 4 and 5yo 😂 . . . #nationaltreeday #kaurnaparkwetlands #plantatree #planting #wetlands #sedge

House is a mess and the 4yo has barely uttered a word all day that wasn’t a whinge. Tackling these issues head on by ignoring both #iamnothousewifematerial . . . #crochet #crochetlove #grannystripe #allthecoffee
