So we buy and are given all these toys for the kids and what do they play with?  Coat hangers and empty boxes. 

I have a cold at the moment and can bearly bring myself to cook meals let alone anything else.  I need the boys to entertain themselves for longer during the day.  But instead of playing with their toys (which we have way too many of) they play with the clean washing I haven't put away, boxes unpacked and packed, coat hangers and are constantly in and out of the pantry for food.  I am having to constantly have arguments over snacks they can and can't have. 

The tv works for my 4 yo for a while and only for about 15 minutes at a time with my 2 yo.  So why do we have all these toys if they hardly ever play with them?!  I think I will have to seriously consider reducing the amount of toys again ( I thought I got rid of heaps before we moved). 

If anyone reading this has an idea of how to entertain kids when you are sick please share.

Well off I go to see what they are in to now!

We've moved.  We have been here about a week now.  Still boxes everywhere.  I don't want another move like that  one for a long time.  It was terrible.  So many things went wrong.  The worst was loosing the house we thought we had a week before we moved.  Then we found another house but we could only move our furniture in on the Saturday not us. 

So I went with the kids to my mums for a few days and had a nice rest.  I suppose that was the best thing to come of all the chaos. 

But we are here now.  The kids are gradually getting more settled.  Jacob had his first day at his new preschool yesterday.  It went very well.  He says he doesn't like it because there are too many people there.  But he will have to get used to that.

Third time pregnant and I have lost all my tummy muscles.  I am buldging like a fruit cake.  I have had to start wearing some of my maternity clothes.  I am feeling very tired most of the time and am having trouble sleeping.  I'm not sure what the cause of that is.

The new house comes with permenant residents. ANTS!!! They are everywhere.  They turned up a few days after we moved in.  I will have to do something about them.  I am reluctant to use poisions with the kids running around everywhere.  Does anyone know of a natural remedy for ant erradication?

I'm looking forward to catching up on some lost Minti time.  Hope all is well with everyone.

We are moving in a week.  I have so much to do and I don't have the energy to do any of it.  Bad time to get pregnant. 

Hubby has already started his job so I am home with the kids no car and I am supposed to be packing.  I guess you can see why I haven't been on here for a while. 

The kids seem to be constantly bickering and I am very fustrated with arguments.  Visitors coming today.  Hopefully that will entertain the boys for a while.

I have to go now as I have been roped in to playing hide and seek.

Hope everyone is well. Hopefully one day I will be able to get back into minti!

Well a few days ago I found out we are pregnant again.  This will be no. 3.  We are very excited especially Jacob.

We also found out last night that we are moving out to western NSW.  Hubby starts a job there in 1.5weeks.  As I don't think I can move us in such a short amount of time we will probably stay here for the first week of his job and move out after that.  So much to do!!!

We are looking forward to country life.  It has been some time since I have lived in a smaller town and I have missed it. 

I managed to Jacob into a preschool already.  We just have to find a place to live now.  It is a bit hard when you live 3 hours or more away.  But I am surre that God has it all worked out and we will be there in a few weeks wondering why we were so worried about the whole thing.

Must dash.  This pregnancy is only early stages but I have to go to the loo so much. Argh!!!!
