School holidays are here.  It has been a very busy week and now I have to distract the boys enough so that I don't have 2 weeks of fighting to deal with.  Sebastian had a great birthday.  He earnt a Silver award at school, got writer of the week and won flowers and a birthday cake from the local radio station.  All on his actual birthday.  It was fantastic.  It's hard to believe he is now 6 and that the school year is almost over.  Only one term to go.  Cayden starts school next year.  He has orientation in 5-6 weeks.  It is going to absolutely fly.  What will I do with my self next year.  Well let me see - clean a house with out being told to turn off the vacuum cleaner as "mum we can't hear the television".  What bliss!!  I think I will miss them though.  I may even feel a bit lonely.  Exactly why I am hoping to study.  Keep my mind busy. 

Wow!  I can't believe how often I don't come in here and visit the site.  I guess we have had a few too many computer problems for me to even think about it.  Anyway a few weeks ago we went to a friends birthday party.  The kids were all playing together and the adults hanging out around the bomfire.  Lovely!!  I went to look for my eldest son (5) who had walked away from the other children when sparklers were bought out. (he doesn't like them).  I walk around the corner and there he is riding his friends 2 wheel bike.  He's hardly ever been on a bike before as we don't have a lot of room where we live.  I couldn't believe it.    We had just bought him a bike so off came the training wheels.  Within 2 weeks my 4 year old son also had his training wheels removed.  He is still a bit shaky but no worries.  It makes me wonder why we do training wheels at all, I swear with boys this sort of thing must come naturally.  I get this comment from my 4 year old if he does ever come off his bike (or anything else for that matter) "I'm OK" and he's off again.  Amazing!!
