We are all sick now...well Dave and I....Alexander is all better and back at school now happily I might add!

I won't go into any details but lets just say Mummy and Daddy are feeling "blahhhhhhh" we have had to soldier on though, we are just about done shifting the office and work commences tonight with my studio....will upload photos tomorrow.

Pooh & Vomit talk to follow, so if that isn't you scene, i recommend you miss this post!

You know one of the perks of being a mum is shearing your bed with a vomiting child.

Well last night I had the pleasure of that, well from both ends, poor thing! One of the consequences I guess of being round new kids and germs.

I must say he is very good and puking right into a bowl now, we even have a dedicated "sick bowl"

In one of our many trips to the bathroom last night (Thank god for en-suite ones) Alexander said he was doing a "watery wee poo"

So he is home with me today, feeling slightly sorry for himself. I had planned on hanging the wallpaper in reception of the new office this morning, I'm now still doing the washing....

Hope you feel better soon little man... :-)

Alexander's 4 week old photo and then once a year till now....

Wahh it's heartbreaking! ...more tears this morning :-(
I'm sure he is just fine now...but its just awful walking away when he is so sad, Mrs Samuel's gave him a hug and took him off for a walk while I made my exit.

He said he had a great day when I collected him yesterday and showed me all that he had done, he had his first little book to read yesterday as well.

Happy Birthday to our Big Boy!




I think first day at school to a just turned 5 year old is something like going for your 4 year old booster injections, you know it’s coming, and it will make you sad and cry and you just want to cling to your Mummy for reassurance!

Alexander put on a brave face this morning but I knew he was feeling tense and apprehensive about his first day at school. Luckily he has a very good friend who has just started as well (last week) and he has taken Alexander his wing this morning. Funnily it was Alexander who always comforted Jayden at kindy when he was sad or his Mum was leaving.

I’ve got his soggy wet tissues in my pocket from this morning’s tears; it was gut wrenching I tell you! I’ve had my little cry too!
I’m sure he will have a wonderful day, all be it rather long, they are making robots today out of cardboard etc. His teacher is lovely and she said she would call me at morning tea time to let me know how he is going.

Some photos from Alexander's Birthday Party yesterday, the children were even able to play outside for a while. Alexander has another party to go to today for one of his other friends who he is starting School with tomorrow, I think an early night tonight will be called for.

Oh so worn out from Birthday Party excitement...I'm about to fall into bed now at 8.30pm, will post photos tomorrow......

My fingers are stained yellow, from what you ask?

Well I'm part way through the Sponge Bob cake for Alexander's party on Saturday, thought id make a start in case I really mucked it up and then at least id have another day to sort something out! All going well I should be able to post a photo later tonight.
I had to chuckle to myself as well, I went into a bit of a tailspin because I don't have a rolling pin and what on earth was I going to roll out the icing with!!!! A-Ha 1 tall long bottle of 42 below vodka will do just nicely, thank you! So ladies if you ever find yourself without a rolling pin, use a vodka bottle :-)

The finished cake


The mess and the trusty vodka bottle aka the rolling pin!



Alexander had his last school visit today, he was a bit tearful Mrs Samuel's said, he didn't want to do colouring in apparently, he was full of beans when I got there though and colouring in again this time they were all making a square for the quilt.

Ohh my goodness gracious me! 5 years ago!

I heard this quote last night while watching TV.....I like it so much I might paint it onto a canvas for the house somewhere.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson



I've had another change around as you can see :-)

Busy week to come, another School visit on Thursday, Happy Last Day at kindy on Friday, his birthday party on Saturday, his little friend's birthday party on Sunday, and last but not least his first day at School on Monday!
I'm gonna be a wreck by then end of the week, we wont even mention I have to make a SpongeBob birthday cake before Saturday as well!

Plus we have the big office/studio move planned in between all this.

Ohhh and less then 3 months till the Wedding...lol

Alexander is at School again for the morning, he has one more visit next week and then he starts School the week after! (it feels so odd just to type those words) He is ready and can't wait to start.

The next few weeks/months are crazy busy, with a happy last day at kindy, his birthday party, then starting School - then we have a Wedding coming up fast, and I'll be honest we have not done much planning for that at all, but it will be happening on the 18th of October...this year!!!!

OK...its official I'm 40!!!!

Or as Dave reminded me I'm actually into my forty first year now! GREAT!

Will post photos etc from my party later on... :-)

Can you feel my pain!!!!! I'm going to be 40 in less than 48 hours now!

Yesterday I was enjoying a coffee and a new magazine from the library; it was spoilt by someone else’s cake/biscuit crumbs falling out all over me! How gross is that, I tell you!
