Singing, Dancing, Doodlebops!!

Comment Published at 18:0118:0135 comments35 comments42 Visits42 VisitsReport

We've had a fun morning today!!  We have all been singing and dancing to the Doodlebops. It's a Canadian show for preschoolers. At first i hated it I must admit but over time, and because of Keiraleah's complete love of the show, its grown on me hehehehe.

We watch it on foxtel and have now discovered the web site. So now we can use this as well. You can print, sing and watch videos and play games. Pretty cool site!

Its put as all in a good mood. Sami , keiraleah and even me have been dancing around. Even Jamie got a dance as well hehehe Maybe Jackie can too when she wakes up.

Check out the web site, your little ones might like it too!

Finally talked to my oldest girl YAY

Comment Published at 05:0905:0946 comments46 comments57 Visits57 VisitsReport

 Between her never having credit and me losing the piece of paper with her number(bad mum) and never having a lot of time, we finally got to catch up. I hadn't spoken to her since before the twins were born. It was really getting to me.

Trying to think outside the square, I saw her logged on to Myspace so I quickly set up an account and sent a friend request LOL Soon as she added me I sent a message. hehe

The best news was she has got a job YAY. I had been hoping she would get one for ages. Its not easy at 16 with no experience. She works in a cafe doing the coffees etc. This job was a long time coming!!

I am so PROUD of her !!!!!!

Now all we have to do is organise a visit! I was really starting to miss her badly! I'm so very happy right now!!!

Here are a few new pics. I really can't believe Annabelle will be 17 in august. It does my head in!!! LOL

The Clan - A blog For Marg.

Comment Published at 06:3306:3333 comments33 comments66 Visits66 VisitsReport

Well, where to begin! Ok, I'll start with the oldest and work my way down

Sami. She is becoming quite the young lady. Turning into a teen right before my very eyes. Every day is a step closer to the dreaded teen years. Talk about attitude! Not all bad, but really, I know what's coming! Help! LOL She still helps with the little ones, so that's a blessing.

Keiraleah. hehehe What doesn't she do! A mile a minute right now, into everything that isn't nailed down. She's talking all the time too. haha I should say 2, 'cause that's the favourite word. Lets see' some of what she says is - wait, there, chair, cat, TV, babies, them, blue and more(the word that is lol). Yep, I'm loving it! Her favourite thing is counting. How good is that!

The twins. Now I've been trying to remind myself not to keep calling them that LOL. So I'll rephrase that. James and Jacquelyn. They are growing, growing, growing! I swear they get bigger by the day. Eating and sleeping like little dream babies, I couldn't ask for better. They have their restless days but I call that a growth spurt LOL Trying to get photos of them with their eyes open but of course every time they keep shutting them!! Not into modelling

Me, well I've been able to get a decent amount of sleep. Mainly as Shane is still here and hasn't gone back to work full time yet. He will be soon though. That's going to put me in the deep end!! Oh, but I keep forgeting. I'm getting a volunteer for one day a week for a few hours. How incredibly lucky is that!!!! An absolute God-send thats for sure!! The lucks going pretty good right now, got my very first car last week!! I was so excited!!! Now all I have to do is learn to drive it LOL  LOL.

Here's some recent clan photos. hehehe

As you can see, Jacquelyn is interested in her hands and James likes to sit back and relax LOL. I think they are going to be spoilt by their big sisters!!

Love to all, and a special howdy hello to Marg. Thanks for asking after the kids.

My little girls are growing up :)

Comment Published at 06:0506:0520 comments20 comments32 Visits32 VisitsReport

My little baby isn't a baby any more! Today she said a lot of words. So cute!

Here is a list: bottle, bowl, chair, door, star, whats that?, baby. There's a few more but I can't think of them at the moment! Oh thats right, she counts! 1,2, 4,5,6 hahaha don't know what happened to 3!

Not just that either, She's begining to understand the wee/poo thing. The nappies keep being pulled off! Bit of a worry but it's great to know the potty is on its way YAYYYY. Only two in nappies then!!! Won't that be GREAT!!!

My older girl will soon be 12! Yikes, where did the years go?!! Growing into a horrid teen all to soon. I looked at her this afternoon and realised she's nearly as tall LOL. Does that make me feel short or what!!!!!

Oh and the oldest will be 18 next year, Gosh but that just makes my head spin.

Feeling slightly old........

Beyond Excited!!!!!! :p

Comment Published at 23:4823:4842 comments42 comments54 Visits54 VisitsReport

My first car EVER!!!!!! I'm beyond excited, I really can't believe it!!!!

I't's a Mazda MPV. 8 seater of course! hehehe. Now I'm not mechanically minded, so I won't go into details about the motor ect. As long as it goes hehehe I've got no clue about all that stuff. It has power steering and windows, and its an auto.  Oh, and its white!

Shane has to go pick it up some time this week coming.The sooner the better but probably on wednesday.It'll be the first day in a while I've had all the kids by myself. I hope he's not gone to long but he has to go up the coast to his brothers to get it and drive it home.

Now I had better get my finger out and get my P's. LOL yeah, I've only got my L's so far. Luckily I can have heaps of lessons with my dad. He only lives 10 minutes away. Shane too, when he's not working.

Ican't believe they want me to clock up 120 hours! Abit much. If I wasn't so lazy I could of had my lisence by now with only 50 hours or better yet could have done it when it was the old way  (OMG) back in the 80's or 90's when it was much easier still.

I feel like my luck has changed lately. The kids have all been good, mother's day I was spoilt rotten(brekkie, chocs, sleep),got to meet the wonderful Cass and Austin and went gold as well. The car on top of all this!!

All I need now is a magical cleaning genie!!!! lol

I met Cass today!

Comment Published at 23:1423:1425 comments25 comments48 Visits48 VisitsReport

Living on the central coast, I was lucky enough to have Cass stop by on her travels. I can't say enough good things about her. She was really lovely. Austin is sooooo adorable! Keiraleah loved having a playmate! They got on well which was good. Sami looked after both of them so we had time for a coffee and a chat. We took some photos of course lol.

Thanks Cass for taking the time out to drop by my place and say hi. It was a pleasure meeting you!

This is Keiraleah, me, Cass and Austin.

Sami(who doesn't like her photo taken) keiraleah and Austin. The kids all had a good time too.
