It's getting further and further between my blogs - sorry!
Last night Oscar crawled forwards a little tiny bit - it was so cute - then this morning he just took off and has only stopped to have a feed and a sleep! LOL! He has been pulling himself up for a while now & grabbing our hands an walking around the house. The other day he even stood unsupported for a little bit! Now he's decided that since he can crawl he's only going to feed of me as quick as he can & get down, lol!
Jack is getting smarter everyday, we just can't believe it! He will sit there and explain things to us & we just look at each other as if to say "how the heck does he know that!". It's just amazing watching them grow up isn't it.
I have been so busy lately - busier than usual as I've taken over as treasurer of the playgroup. So on top of running the house, looking after the kids and trying to run my business I have had to learn all the ins and outs of that! Then I get to playgroup yesterday and there is a letter from the education department telling us we need to write up policies and procedures on how we deal with our money! As far as I'm concerned it's a load of shit! We do all our own fundraising, manage our own money & have never had anything go wrong. Now they want us to show them our books regularly and approve purchases over a certain amount! The only money they every give us is to help with training for the playgroup leader - it makes me so mad! Now I'm going to have to change the way everything is done & I've just learnt it all!
Well better go check on my sausage rolls before they burn! Hope everyone is well and having a great week. XXOO

Wow - had a bad weekend with poor little Oscar! Mum & Mick came over on Wednesday to stay a few nights and fix up my unlce's pool area ready for summer. The boys thought it was fantastic cause they get spoiled rotten. They stayed until Friday and as my brother was coming to their place they took Jack home with them and we were going over on Saturday to catch up with him & stay the night.
Oscar and I went in to do the grocery shopping after they left & had lunch with one of my old work mates. Oscar was very red cheeked all day, but otherwise ok. We got to the supermarket, did the shopping & I was almost finished when he started to fall asleep in the trolley. This is odd as he will normally grizzle if he's tired while we are shopping & then go to sleep in the car. I finished as quickly as I could & we came home, he had a feed & went to bed (around 3.30). He had slept all the way home - which is a half hour drive - and then he slept until 6pm! I thought it was odd but maybe he was really tired. He was ok when he woke up so we went to the pub for tea & then stopped at my cousins house as a mate of mine was down visiting & was there (he was to come to our place later). They had the fire going and it was quite warm so I stripped Oscar off as he seemed hot & his cheeks were red again. He didn't eat his tea earlier either. I asked for a thermometre as he just seemed too hot & he was - 38.8! I told James I had to bring him home so he dropped us home & went back. I gave Oscar some Dymadon, stripped him down to a nappy & singlet and sat with him but his temp still wasn't down 45 mins later. I rang the hospital and spoke to a nurse as he was really miserable by now & she said sponge him down with tepid water & check aging when it's one hour from when he got the medication. Still wasn't down so I rang her back & she said come in. So I got some stuff together & drove in. Oscar went to sleep as soon as the car started & by the time we got there his temp was down! The midwife I saw said she would get the doc in if I wanted but he would just tell me there was nothing wrong & go home. She said it's teething. Now I have been told by a few nurses that teething doesn't cause high temps & I told her this, she said her 2nd child got temps with every tooth. So we came home.
He slept ok after we got home at middnight but he wasn't right. We had to go to mum's as Jack was there anyway so we packed up and went. I swear he had a bug of some sort too - you know how you just know? Anyway he's getting better now, still a little sooky & tired but no more temps. And he has slept through the last 2 nights to 5 & 6! Yay!
So Oscar started saying mum on Sunday!!!! YAY!!!! He only says it when he's upset but that's better than saying everything but mum! lol! And he says Jack very clearly now, James didn't believe that he says it until he heard it for himself last night.
Well, best be off. Had a meeting online for my business this morning and haven't got anything done yet!
Hope everyone is well! xxoo

Hi everyone - wow, I haven't done a blog for ages! LOL! I have some more great pics Dad has taken on his trip away - these ones are in WA:


There is so many more but I can't fit them all on here! lol!

So now, what's new news here? Oscar is pulling himself up on things now, it's so cute! He is growing up so fast - I am going to be chasing in 2 different directions soon!
We have been away for a week, it was really nice to get away but it's nice to get home too! We went to James' dad's for the weekend for his brother's 18th then on Sunday arvo James & his mate went off camping/fishing/hunting & I went to Bendigo to stay with his girlfriend who happens to be one of my best friends from here! So I got to go to some big shops & got some great bargains on clothes for the boys & Jack needed all new shoes so I got them too. And we got to have take away - Hungry Jacks, KFC, Chinese, Pizza - such a big treat for us! lol!
James and Daniel got back Wednesday arvo & then on Thurs he went out riding motorbikes with his other mate all day (yes we towed the motorbike all the way!). Then Friday we went and bought a new pram (stroller) because Jack walks or rides the sk8board most of the time now so we downsized and I am selling the jogger and toddler seat.
Well I better be off and do some housework now. Hope you are all well! xxoo
