I become a Nana and take on the BBC!

Well this morning Groover’s I became a Nana! ☺

Here’s a pic:

And nooooooooooo I’m not the Nana of a few leaves and branches LOL. You see my Mumma bird outside my window now has two little babies! And I did try my very best to get them in the shot but they kinda blend in with the nest, sorry. But believe me when I say there are two little babies.

They kinda look like this:

What a good Mumma she is. She has been sitting out there for the last couple of weeks keeping them all warm and toasty, during storms, rain and hot sweltering days. A mother’s job is never an easy one is it.

And because we all know that I am such an animal lover and sook I was worried this morning because Mumma Bird hadn’t come back to her nest before I left for work!! ☹

Now I guess she is entitled to go off and stretch her wings, catch some sun, eat, go to the toilet etc. butttttttttttt I just wanna make sure she comes back to her babies!! And Jake was specifically told to text me when she came back. No Text buttttt Groover's tonight when I got home from work she was there looking after her kids, just like all good mumma's do!

And let me tell you it was all happening this morning at our house. Now look closely at this pic:

Yes it’s Embee Louise, buttttttttt take a look in the toilet. Don’t be shy! Can you see what I am talking about?

Yep it’s Brenton the rabbit. I think he might have had a big night out. Might have been a Xmas Party not sure… but he ended up in the toilet!!! He sure gets around that kid, some nights he sleeps with Embee and me, and then other mornings we find him here!

And if you look really close you can see he even has a hair band on around his ears. Now I know I didn’t put that on him! I don’t have enough hair for a hair band! Hehehe So I def think he went to a Xmas Party last night!

And today was Ashlee’s last day at work. You see she has decided to move back home to Sydney and tonight Jake is dropping her off to the airport.

Now Ashlee joins a very elite group of people that have been brave, strong and some may say stupid... to have lived with the Morley gang!!!!

It sure has been interesting having Ashlee live with us. It was kinda like having two kids but somehow I only remember having given birth to ONE BIG HEAD!

And only last night at dinner we were we talking about how I really wanted twins when I was pregnant with Jake. Can you even imagine two of HIM! We then said imagine twin boys… twin Jake’s, I said Jake would be the evil one and the other twin would be the good one. I asked Jake “so what would the other one be called?” and you know what his reply was “George. George Glass.” So this means my other son would have been called George “Glass” Morley! Sad isn’t it our Morley humour hehehe.

We went out to lunch today, Ashlee and I and had an amazing steak!

And here is a pic of Ashlee and I

And shhhhhhh don't tell Jake but Embee got half when I got home tonight as I couldn't eat it all!

And when we returned back to work there were presents waiting for Ashlee!

Ohhhh and let me share this little bit of info with you kids!

Soooo the other day on Foxtel, on the On Demand section where each week the put up special show’s to check out there was one called...

BABY JAKE! And I quote (from Wikipedia):

Baby Jake is a BBC children's television program broadcast in the UK and first aired on 27 June 2011. The program features Jake, a 10-month old baby. Jake is the youngest of ten children all living in a Windmill with their parents. Each episode features Jake embarking on an adventure with a host of magical characters including Pengy Quin (a penguin), the Hamsternauts, Nibbles the Rabbit and Sydney the Monkey.

The show features a child narrator and all ten children are depicted in real life, although Baby Jake is given a multi-angle photographic face on an animated body. Jake's babbling is translated by his 5-year old brother Isaac. Isaac is voiced by a real-life 5-year-old boy, in a move described by the Guardian as "a risk" since the majority of successful children's television is narrated by adults.

The program cost £1.85m to produce, half of which was funded by CBeebies with the rest hoped to be recouped from selling the program abroad. Darrall Macqueen Ltd produced the series, and Maddy Darrall was quoted by the Metro as gaining inspiration for the show from watching her 7-year-old nephew understanding her 1-year-old son.

Now Groover’s I don’t know about YOU but if you ask me, and you should... I think they have def copied all of this from us Morley’s and Morley Manor. I mean come onnnn we live in a house (windmill), we have magical characters like Embee Louise, Brenton the Rabbit, Mumma Bird, the Rabbit with the one arm (Embee ripped off the other one) and that hot dog toy she loves sooo much! And we alllll know that our Baby Jake babbles lots of crap! Hehehe.

And we don’t cost £1.85m to produce! Maybe $50 LOL and that’s on a bad day ☺

I def think we need to look into this a bit further and maybe take some type of Legal Action. What do you guys think? I mean you know us better than anyone... Hehehe. Lucky YOU!

Well kids it's time to go. Time for us to say good bye to Ashlee and wish her all the best for her travels tonight and her future back home in Sydney!

See yaaaaaaa

Me xxx

Baby Jake fly’s the coop!

A couple of weeks back I mentioned that I felt like there were big changes in the wind and well in Morley Manor it’s been kinda like a Hurricane...

First of all Ashlee has decided to move back to Sydney and leaves next Wednesday night.

But on much bigger news (well for me anyway) Baby Jake this week has accepted a job to work at Ayers Rock Resort in the Northern Territory here in Australia.

I knowwwwwwwwww ☹

He leaves on Tuesday 3rd January so that means at least we have Christmas together, even if Mr Morley is all Bah Humbug on me when it comes to Christmas time!

Now Jake did ask me tonight to make it known that right now at this point, he hasn't bought the one way fare yet anddddddd has yet to receive the employment contract to sign. So this is the point where I would like add the *** MORLEY DISCLAIMER *** just incase anything changes.... or as I like to say "to cover Jake's Arse!".

And I guess as parents we all know that this day will come but it is still sad when it finally does arrives.

I like to describe it a bit like this:

You know when you have an animal and when they are very old or very sick and the vet says to you "you will know when the right time is to put them down". I think it’s a bit like that, I mean you don’t want to do it but in your heart you just know that the time has come, as sad as it is.

I think this is how I am feeling about Jake leaving. It's a great opportunity but sad (for me) at the same time.

And how exciting is it to be Jake!! Ahhh to be 21 and have this adventure in life all ahead of you. I always said that when we bought our house together it was a shame because I really thought he needed the experience of living out of home and now well he will get this chance.

And this is the link to where Jake is going to be living and working:

Ayers Rock Resort

It has never been on my agenda to travel there, not really sure why, but just hasn’t. Buttttt of course this has all changed so sometime next year I’ll take a small break and go visit Baby Jake and see Ayers Rock.

You know not long after my Nana passed away my Grandad actually went with his great granddaughter Brooke to visit my Uncle who at the time was living out in Alice Springs. And I know he loved it out there and really enjoyed that whole experience. He hadn’t been on a plane since the war so it was a Big Adventure for him, just as it will be for Jake. And I know Grandad would be proud of Jake for making this big move in his life.

Here is a picture of Grandad with Brooke with Ayers Rock in the background!

So be prepared for a bit of a Sooky La La Morley at the start of January as I come to terms with my baby flying the nest... You will have to be gentle with me Groover’s ok.

And for me well I always try to find the positive in things and my positive take on this one Groover’s is that I guess it might mean it’s my time, time to reclaim me and my life back! So whilst the nest might be empty, this Mumma Bird is gonna spread her wings WIDEEEEEE, so watch out world, Mumma is a comin! ☺

Well so there you go; my news doesn’t get much bigger than that. Wellllllll the only thing that could top that is mmmm maybe Embee getting a new bone! LOL

Love ya Baby Jake and soooo proud of you!

Love

Mumma xxx
