My 2 boys

Here is hubby Paul with Greggles. They have been watching the V8 car races. Obviously Murph hadn't crashed yet coz they are both still smiling!!




He're's Greg y'day at a friends place... he'd been up for such a long time and ended up just 'crashin'. We'd been to mums group in the morning, then lunch with Paulie, then went to Naomi's place (it's her lounge). After his nap we went to Myers and Best n Less and bought some cute clothes - a jumper or 2 coz he hasn't got many and the weather is unpredictable atm. I also got him an adorable pair of overalls. - they sorta fit him atm! But we'll wait another week & 1/2.

Haven't been up to a lot today. Lynda & Chelsea came around and spent 1/2 the day with us. Planning on doing some more scrapbooking tonight. Anyhow, Paul should be home soon.... might go see whats for dinner.

2 weeks and counting down!!!

This is me and Greggles after his second HipSpica (plaster cast) was put on. You can't tell but there's a 4 yr old kid screaming in the background..... I'd had only like 3 hours sleep! He's now got only 2 weeks til the plaster is removed. He'll go into another type of harness thingo... not sure exactly which one yet..... but it's gotta be better than the cast! Soon he'll be able to have his first bath at home! *dance*

Here is Greggles with his Teddy from Cookie-ma (Paulies Mum).

Speaking of Greggles - gtg - he's awake.... maybe I'll get some sleep tonite!! fingers crossed!

SmAsH - a bugga for Murph

I had more sleep last nite than the nite b4 - but still barely enough! As long as Gregory doesn't get too upset I seem to be able to cope.

We've spent the afternoon with Grum Lynda & Chelsea the boys watching the V8 supercars, and we sorta did while we scrap-booked and looked after the bubs.... well the guys did help a bit with that too. I can't wait to see the results of the page I'm currently working on...!!

Poor Murph got taken out along with Scaife with a bit of misfortune but he's still in the top 20 of the championship!! *yay* the next points round is his pet fav... he does the best there :D so he's sure to catch up soon.

Greggles fell asleep in the car on the way home, which was short-lived when I got him out of the car, although it didn't take much for him to go to sleep once we were inside.

We'll have hotdogs for dinner... havent had those in YEARS!!. Anyhow - the boy has just woken up, seems to be in a pretty good mood *yay*.

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?
This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And, you will keeptrying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot.
But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with yourright hand...

Your foot will change direction!!!
I told you so.. And there is nothing you can do about it.

I've spent the day doing things for me :o). As a mum this is one of the most important things you can do. I got to sleep in... well I was up at 3:30.... but slept in til 9:30 so I think that counts, I went and picked up some photos that I got developed, put $cheques$ in the bank, visited the school with Gregory, had lunch with my hubby, visited 'Aunty Lynda' & 'Cousin Chelsea', went shopping & bought some scrapping stuff (for the photos I got developed this morning :oP), went to Lyndas for scrapping, had dinner with Grum Lynda Chelsea, Paul and Gregory, got 3 pages of scrapping done and one in the pipeline. Well - that was my day :o)
Now I'm home & checking email and about to have some icecream with hubby, maybe curl up on the lounge with my mag with Paulie, then I can go to bed *yay*.

I think it goes down as one good day :o) I didn't even run out of CHOCCIE!! theres 1 1/2 blocks still in the fridge. *dance*
Nite all!

Back at schoooooooooool

Fooled ya!! I was WORKING back at school *dances*. Gregory kept me up till about 3:30 this morning, so I didn't get much sleep but I did ok :o)

I got up this morning, and he was still sleeping, I had to wake him to feed him before I went to work - lazy boy ;o). Anyway, Pammie was here to look after him n it was all good. I headed off and arrived a little late but it was ok as there was assembly this morning *phew*.
Im glad that I managed to get home to the little critter at lunchtime coz I missed him so much! He had been drinking from the bottle but only after like an hour of crying for Pammie!
My sister-in-law came and rescued the day as Pammie had to go to class. He ended up taking a rusk and then he was given his bottle and drank it himself!!! *yay*. When I got home at lunch I said hello to him, he was so excited to see me!!!! He had a feed and a change then I headed back to work..... I got a message to say that he'd fallen asleep basically as I left!! *phew again*

He was asleep when I arrived home from work around 3:30 and was asleep for about an hour or so. Of course when he woke for a nappy change and feed the phone rang and it was the hospital in Sydney with whom we've got an appointment in April, a 20 min call!!! at least he was well behaved while I was on the phone.

Im so glad that I prepared enough dinner last nite for tonites tea - coz there's no way I was gunna cook. It was so easy to just reheat and eat. Hopefully it won't be too late a nite. I'm stuffed - and we've got a pretty big day tomorrow too - Our first Playgroup!!
Must scoot & feed him, and hopefully he will settle soon so I can go to bed!!

Ran out of chocolate!!!

SO... it's been another day of not enough sleep, a crying bub, lots of really dirty nappies and I ran out of chocolate - whats a mum to do?!

Nah all in all it hasn't been too bad a day. I finally (or we) got the house looking a like we the bomb aftermath has been cleaned up. I'm hopefully pretty ready for a days work tomorrow - but I am quite worried about how the boy will cope. Gregory has decided that the only way to drink milk is from me - even if it is mums milk a bottle just wont do. I have organised to be able to come home at lunchtime... I hope he'll be ok til then.
Ah well - I should get to bed seeing as I have a big day ahead of me with a yr 5/6 class and all. I am looking forward to it.......

Fingers crossed...

Yellow Flowers :o)

If someone had told me 5 years ago where I would be today, I'm not sure I would have believed them! Today my husband Paul and I celebrate our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. It has been a good day so far :o)
Paul came home for lunch with a bunch of yellow and white flowers for me :o) *dances*
I've organised a surprise for him tonite - I'll post later just in case ;o)
I tried to be sneaky last nite and get some information from him but he didn't seem to answer any of my questions with much detail (yeh I should know by now... typical male.... need to ask the EXACT question to get any sort of detailed answer!) Ah well we'll see how I went with my surprise. Lots to do!!

Well well well.... it all went according to plan!
Pammie (my sister) came round about 4:30 and helped me get ready :o) Made me feel like a princess! At 5:00 Greggles woke up and fed and changed. By 5:30 we were round at my parents house :D Time to put the finishing touches on the plan......I called Paul (who I'd already side-tracked by sending him on an errand on his way home) to tell him that 'alas!' I'd broken down outside the Cascades MotorInn.... and to meet me inside as 'it was too hot in the car for the bub'. He informed me that he was about 2 blocks away as I hurried inside.....
From the reception, I could see him pull up and have a quick look at the car before he headed for the door. I backed away and waited for him to come in... I didn't say anything but waited for his reaction to me all dressed up nicely..... what a way to break-down ;)
Anyhow, I gave him a hug and said "I'm not broken down and Gregory isn't here with us... It's you and me for dinner."
It was then that he realised that I'd conveniently 'broken down' outside where we had our wedding reception 2 years ago.... and instead of being surrounded by 80 or so family and friends it was a change to be able to sit down to dinner just the two of us.

It starts.......

Gday all you tigers,

Hows things? Well I'm pretty fine and dandy - at 12:50am on a Sunday morning. The little one (aka Gregory) is sleeping and I'm about to do the same. Lets hope that he sleeps through once more - the last 2 nites hes had 8 hour sleeps finally! He used to sleep through like that for a start but with all the travelling and stuff it put him out of routine. Gregory also has as of today, mastered using a 'rusk'. One of those horrible tasting sticks of bread-like substance that babies chew on when they are teething. Tho he does seem to be upset when he drops it and goes to put his hand back to his mouth and he finds that he is chewing his fingers again!

Today has been one of interest and one of non-interest.
I have a soda-stream. Yes.... one of those - always wanted one, got one now have no idea how to use the bloody thing!! argh! anyone go any ideas? btw - it's one of the REALLY old ones!!

Haven't been up to much else - spending the day with my hubby, eating peppermint chip chocolate (and for all those out there that don't like peppermint chocolate, GOOD!! all the more for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

Well - I really should sleep while the bub is.... more to add later. Nite nite.... *yawn*
