WHEN HANGING OUT AT HOME...


It's been lovely coming home from work to these lovely energetic boys. And because we like to 'bank' memories, a new tradition has started in this home.


While I make dinner, we've been doing a little dancing...



... pulling faces...



... and taking photos ...


I love evenings like this. The kids ask me when we are going to do the "Himmy Hake" (Shimmey Shake, thanks Wiggles), because it's the highlight of their day too.


It's what memories are made of.

How do you 'bank' your memories?


a day in the life of us

  1. We've started doing this of an afternoon as well! Now that hubby is getting home at a reasonable hour, its not just me doing everything of an afternoon/evening for the kids and him swooping in just before bed time. Means we have more time to sing and dance around the house and with this warmer weather, play outside while its still sunny.

    Photos and blogging are my memory banks. Photos remind me of what the kids were like, but blogging gives me the ability to record what they said, or how I felt at that time as well. Reading back to when my youngest was born, and seeing how my writing style has changed as my PND has gotten better - all things I would have forgotten or not even realised if I hadn't blogged. :)

  4. I used to do that with Sapphire when I worked full time and she was in childcare. Ronan Keating's 'Life is a rollercoaster' was our fave at the time. :)

  6. We do this often too - it's such a fun end to the day! Oh, and the Shimmy Shake? I *might* have been caught listening to it without A before. (Cringe!)

  8. We used to do dance together when the kids were younger. Now that they're a little grown, they just won't do it anymore because they find it silly already. OH, kids grow up too fast. Enjoy this time of dancing and goofing off, Kymmie <3

  9. What good fun! Enjoy it 'cos at least you're a cool mum dancing with them at that age..the cool factor wears off after a while and they won't let you dance in their presence..hehe.
