Baby Sitting

I baby sat Simon and Amos for the first time together on Tuesday. It was like having two sets of twins! Bit crazy but we all survived. It was harder cause I could not let the big boys out to play, because we had no front or back fence, and the builders and painter were here.

Grass & Carpet

We now have grass and carpet which is very exciting. Things really are finished except the back fence, the painting and electrical work. Great to have the house to myself again.

Mark's Party

We had a little party for Mark on Saturday. He had a wonderful time. He had a Lightning McQueen cake. His grandparents gave him an easel - he is eagerly waiting for me to buy some paint! He has now learnt to write an M and an A for MARK.

Moon Cake

Mark had a moon cake for his birthday this year.

I'm 3!!!

Mark turned 3 on Monday. He had a lovely day. We had a party for him at playgroup in the morning. In the afternoon he went to tennis with Stephen with his new tennis racquet. What a big boy he is now.

Grandma & Grandad's

The next week and a half I stayed at Stephen's parents place. Stephen was with me for half the time. Thomas was all better and a very happy little camper. We had fun visiting Auntie Ruth, Uncle Stephen and the kids. We also visited Hagen and Sylvia and met little Sofie and the boys played with Reuben. We bought Mark a kids tennis racquet as an early birthday present. He was SOOO excited and we had to play a lot o tennis on the weekend. I got home on Wednesday last week. The house was an absolute disaster zone. Though Kim and Mark came around at night and helped us get the place in a bit of order again. The last few days have been busy cleaning, unpacking, doing washing etc. Managed to get to church this morning for the first time in a month.

Visiting Oma & Opa

The first week out of home I spent the week with ma and pa with the boys while Stephen stayed in Toowoomba. Stephen then came for the weekend. It was a nice week in that I got to catch up with mum and dad, but Thomas was really sick all week and that made it hard. He was very feverish and cranky. He didn't sleep well at night and wasn't eating - which when you are acting as a solo parent is quite draining. Mark had a lovely time in the pool in his new "Lightning McQueen" togs. He loves lightning Mc Queen and will tell you that he is a "Super fast racing car".

End Week 18

Well I am finally back in the house after having to move out for 2 1/2 weeks! Starting to look good, but still at least 2 weeks worth of work left. Starting to move into our kitchen, though not all the shelves in yet. Our back bathroom and toilet are working but the tiling is not yet finished. Our back lounge / dining area is lovely and light and bright.
