I'm sick with a yucky cold (thanks Dave)!
and its exactly a month till my baby turns 5 and starts school!
Oh and on a funny note....
I said to Alexander: “Please help me pick up the toys we need to have a tidy up”
He said to me: “No, I can’t! And you’re not coming to my Party”
I said back: Well “I’m the one that gives you the party and makes all the stuff for it”
He must have known I meant business: “OK then, I’ll pick them all up for you Mummy”

Alexander is sleeping over at his Nan's tonight, along with Scrufty of course. We are off out to Alexander's God Mum's/my good friends 40th Birthday Party at the local pub. Poor old Dave is pretty blocked up and snotty with a cold though, nothing a few pints wont fix he reckons.
And also he is into his 8th week of not smoking, this time he feels confident he is going to stay that way, he KNOWS that he just can't have a puff or a sneaky one here and there and stay not smoking. Of course we are all very proud of him.. :-)
The little kitties are doing great, Perky is the full on one, she bounces all over the place and Scrufty doesn't even faze her, Pinky is timid, but she is coming out of her shell a little bit more every day.

Maungaraki School - link to school site
Last night David and I went to Alexander’s school for a parent’s information evening, and today we have his school visits sorted out with his start date 21st June (his birthday) He will be having a “Happy Last Day at his kindy on the 18th June. I just can’t believe it’s time for him to go to school!
He is very ready mind you. I’m not the only Mum who feels like this I know, It’s the getting used to that “someone else” will be educating them, shaping their future, moulding them, and heading them off in the right direction for adult life, still the teachers have the skills to do this and that was evident from last night and I feel better about the whole process now.
The kittens have been named Pinky and Perky - Alexander and Dave's favourite tv show on in the mornings.

You know you’re a Mum when.....
You have a small pile of children’s odd socks.
Your bedside table has half a cup of milk, a used tissue, and a selection of small toys.
Your car CD player plays Hi5, The Wiggles and Crazy Frog tunes.
Your kid calls out “come look at my Poo”
You hear “I’m hungry” all the time from small people.
You never get a full night’s sleep.
You have a nice collection of abstract creations on the kitchen windowsill from the small ones.
You actually enjoy films like Finding Nemo, Power Rangers unleashed and rerun after rerun of Cars.
You never get tired of hearing “Where are you Mum” – well actually you do, I lie.
You look forward to sitting down when the little ones are asleep finally.
You hear the pitter patter of small feet in the night or a tap on the nose to wake you.
You never get tired of hearing “I love you Mummy”
These are just a few of my Mummy observations....none of which I’d be without mind you.

photos from today...
I'm really feeling my age, mostly in a good way, although not so happy about being 40 next month - 40 Wahhhhhh!
My little boy is growing up and will be off at school next month, can you believe it. Only feels like yesterday I was 42 weeks pregnant, 12 hours into labour walking round the streets to hurry things along - not that it helped much mind you, but id walk to the ends of the earth and back again to have my little boy. :-) OK I'll stop being all mushy!

Rather than just upload a photo of the "RING" in it's box or on my finger, I thought I'd do it, it's own little photo shoot!
Now yes you are right, and I do already have an engagement ring from quite a few years ago! But when you keep a girl waiting this long to marry (8 years) Dave brought me a new one while we were away! :-)
Dave and Alexander had a blast on the jolly scooter!
and here is a photo I liked of Alexander from while we were away, and then the finished picture - thought you might like to see the before and after.
The original photo was not something id want to frame or have on the wall like it was, but after a little work/transformation it's fit for a frame and some wall space don't you think!
