My babies all dressed up to go to lunch on my Birthday. 🎁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They don't have shoes on yet. That's always a challenge & usually involves tears from Jack & an argument with Violet who can't decide which ones she likes best...🥿👠👡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #JSAR #VSLR #grin #smiles #giggles #siblings #kids #CorPrilKids #4YearsOld #1YearOld #SamsungS9 #04042019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 💻: violetashes.wordpress.com 👻: VioletAshes [Snapchat] 🐦: VioletAshes [Twitter] 🎶: violet_ashes [Spotify] 📌: vi0letashes [Pinterest] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The kids spent longer in the jumping castle than any other ride at the St. Francis Xavier carnival. 🤸🏼‍♀️🏰 Violet loved chasing her brother & sliding around. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But when it came to getting her out... well let's just say it was Mummy (aka Tombraider) catching her as she ran by & pulling her out backwards by her legs as she giggled. 🤣💪🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #VSLR #grin #smiles #giggles #fun #jumpingcastle #toddler #CorPrilKids #1YearOld #SamsungS9 #23032019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 💻: violetashes.wordpress.com 👻: VioletAshes [Snapchat] 🐦: VioletAshes [Twitter] 🎶: violet_ashes [Spotify] 📌: vi0letashes [Pinterest] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jacky adores fire engines. 🚒 He was excited to get near one at the St. Francis Xavier carnival & we lined up for 20 minutes to sit in the cab but as soon as it was his turn he became overwhelmed & started crying. So instead we just studied the outside & he was content with that.😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes things don't always go as you expect & overwhelm you when you least expect it. Sometimes you just have to slow down & be an observer instead of a participant. Steady, steady. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #JSAR #fireteuck #CFS #CorPrilKids #kids #happydays #carnival #mentalhealth #WynnVale #SamsungS9 #23032019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 💻: violetashes.wordpress.com 👻: VioletAshes [Snapchat] 🐦: VioletAshes [Twitter] 🎶: violet_ashes [Spotify] 📌: vi0letashes [Pinterest] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Standing in the middle of my street on a quiet Sunday night; the only noises I can hear are the soft tweets & squawks of the local Magpies. The smell of a multitude of dinners lingers on the air & the bitumen under my feet is warm as I watch the last of the summer sunsets. 🌇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #summer #sunset #Freeling #SouthAustralia #SamsungS9 #10032019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 💻: violetashes.wordpress.com 👻: VioletAshes [Snapchat] 🐦: VioletAshes [Twitter] 🎶: violet_ashes [Spotify] 📌: vi0letashes [Pinterest] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Our little Jack has been having the time of his life this year. 🤠 He started Kindy & goes to playgroup, he spends time with his family, his sister, his friends & his toys. But the one thing we weren't ready for was just how sick he was going to get & for how long. He's had the flu, colds, high fevers, vomiting, bronchitis, ear infections, diarrhea & bone rattling coughs. 🤧🤢 He's had hives & rashes & even a nasty bump on the head from a Kindy fall. 🤕 & he's been this way for 4 months. He doesn't understand why he feels sick. He gets sullen & grumpy & tired. He's lost weight & doesn't want to eat in case he throws up (unless it's a hotdog then he'll give that a good shot). The schools warn you this will happen (& every parent you know says "welcome to parenting" which, after 4 years of having a child isn't very helpful or empathetic). Schools send home flyers about lice, school sores, cold sores... the list goes on. Jack has had all his vaccinations plus fluvax & extras for being indigenous & we also endured the Meningococcal vaccine which made him & his sister quite ill. But the one thing you can't vaccinate against is human nature. 💛 The nature of touch & play; interactions with other sick kids who are struggling through too. All the hugs, kisses & play fights, the pretend tea parties & playing in close quarters.☕🍰 They are wonderful & Jack has become so much more by making friends & learning about others. I see the other tired parents dropping off kids at School & I know I'm not alone. This week Jack is finally on the mend. He is coping better although his eating is a slow progressive challenge. The one thing that I have learned in spades is patience & to trust my judgement (& also that ibuprofen is better than paracetamol & strawberry flavour is best...) When I see Jack playing outside in his 'workshop', smiling & happy I feel relieved & when he comes inside for a rest I knew he's taking care of himself & knowing his limits. He tells me he is a "big boy now". They tell me every stage has its challenges. That's a relief, I thought parenting would be easy. 😉😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jack will be back to Kindy next week for term 2. He's been sick his whole holidays so he hasn't been able to enjoy them as much as I'd hoped but it has been wonderful having my 2 kids back together everyday, even if it is a bit harder it's lovely watching them play & learn together. 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ © 2019 Violet Ashes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #CorPrilKids #JSAR #VSLR #bigbrother #littlesister #backtoschool #schoolholidays #uniform #FreelingPS #kids #fun #11022019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 💻: violetashes.wordpress.com 👻: VioletAshes [Snapchat] 🐦: VioletAshes [Twitter] 🎶: violet_ashes [Spotify] 📌: vi0letashes [Pinterest] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
