Why i don't usually drink....

OMG, last night we celebrated our friends marriage, and because it was reasonably close to home we decided to get a lift with some other friends so we could both enjoy a few drinks.....hmmmmmm, someone please tell me how many a few SHOULD be....when we first arrived i started the night out with a baileys on ice YUM.....then when we went into the reception i started on the red wine, after a few glasses our waitress offered to bring me a bottle! She says, they are only the half bottles, oh alright i say.....3 half bottles later.....get the picture, i was pretty hammered seeing that i don't drink very often at all.....but i had a good time, am paying the price today, but, i don't think i will be doing this again in a big hurry....my head hurts too much and the kids have decided that today is a good day to whinge and whine and carry on, so needless to say i think next time i will gladly go back to being the designated driver!

Off to go deal with a cranky 3 old - no witnesses around so there could be trouble, seriously i think he's tired so i am going to try and get him to go to sleep so i can have a lay down too.....

Until next time, keep the noise down please my head hurts too much!

2 weddings, an engagement party and a send off.....

My goodness, we are so booked out over the next few weeks it's crazy. Last night Stuart and I attended a good friends wedding, Stu was the best man, and next week we have another wedding, the week after that an engagement party, the week after that a send off for Stuarts cousin who is going to the USA with his GF and they are getting married in Vegas.
I was so tired today after last night that i went for a nanna nap, popped the ear plugs in so i couldn't hear the boys and slept for nearly 4 hours !!!!!!! Stuart took care of the kids and just let me rest, which i obviously needed.
Last nights wedding was very beautiful, it is the brides 2nd marriage and her 3 kiddies were all part of the bridal party which all looked stunning. Mum looked after the kids and half way thru the night rang to say she was going to bed and pick the kids up tomorrow, so last night we were well and truly child free, pity we had to get up early to pick them up for their swimming lessons, but it was so nice not being waken in the middle of the night by Angus, who actually slept thru for my mum......little poop, doesn't do that for me, oh well.
Anyway just wanted to share a pic of Stuart and I all glammed cause it doesn't happen very often, then i am off to put clothes on the line for tomorrow and then to bed, cause even after my big nanna nap, i am still tired.

Cheers

OMG - How embarrassment!

Today was Stirlings athletics carnival at school, me being the wonderful mother that i am ditched the 3 younger children so that i could go watch Stirling and help out as well. I got to hand out stickers to all the littlies that came in second place, my goodness they are soooooooo cute!
Well after little lunch and before the finals were ran i was told i was needed at the start line for the parents race......well i thought i better be a good sport and give it a go, this is where the embarrassing part comes in, i started the race then promptly fell flat on my face while all the other parents continued on their merry way, i got up and one of the lovely teachers came over and made sure i was OK and then ran with me a little of the way, then i finished the race dead last! Hey i got a sticker saying - I RAN A RACE! So i am pretty proud of myself, next year i am thinking i need to go into training and perhaps invest in a pair of spikes so that i don't slip over and make an ass of myself again.....
Not much else has happened in the last week, i have been sick with a bit of a tummy bug, so glad i am over that now, but Angus has been unwell on top of teething so i am getting next to no personal time at all.....i have grown an extra appendage it seems with a child being attached to me most of the time.
This weekend will be a big one not only with the LSBS cybercrop littlescrapbookshop.com.au, but also we have a wedding to attend on Saturday afternoon, which Stuart is best man for and on Sat. morning Stirling has his end of season soccer get together. Thjen the usual on Sunday with swimming lessons and housework - which is never ending - blah!
Well, the leech (Angus) is crying again, as i have not had him on my lap or attched to me for 5 whole minutes whilst typing this up, and as far as he is concerned that is 5 minutes too long, will post pics of Stu and i all dolled up over the weekend.
Until then
Cheers

Mamma Mia, Flynn versus the tree and much more.....

Well hello all, what a busy week or so it has been since my last blog entry.

Last week I went to see Mamma Mia with my 2 friends Dee and Wirg, what a cack, i was PMSL, singing along and also had a few tears at different parts of the movie as well, thoroughly enjoyed myself and would reccomend anyone to see it, in fact i would love to go see it again, can't wait til it is released on DVD cause i definately want a copy of this movie - ABBAsolutely fABBAulous!!!!!! Pierce Bronson and Colin Firth are so fab in this movie as is Meryl Streep, and boy can they sing - amazing....yep, i know i am raving, but it has been ages since i went to see a movie that was not G rated, and this one was just fantastic.

So what else is new.....Saturday morning was Stirlings soccer, this week he got the encouragement award for playing great defense and goalie. Yesterday afternoon we went to visit our friends up at Brooklyn, the local school was hosting a fireworks spectacular so we thought we'd take the kids to watch. Heres som pics i took that i thought turned out fab, so i wanted to share....




As we were walking down the road to the field Flynn decided to walk into a tree - OUCH, he managed to crack his head open AGAIN, but this time luckily it was only glue required and not stitches, thankfully. Heres some pics of my wounded little soldier, who was very brave at the Doctor this morning......tomorrow he is not allowed to go to day Care, so he will come with me to craft and go in the creche. Hopefully he will be ok for swimming by Sunday, he is not allowed to get it wet for at least 5 - 6 days, so all going well he will be in the pool.




Well i had best be off, need to feed the tribe and get some clothes in off the line folded and put away, until next time

Cheers
