we are all just plodding along here - enjoying the school holidays and not having to get organised early in the morning every day! Lachlan has been doing Vacswim swimming lessons at the Kwinana Req and seems to be enjoying it. It's a bit of a pain because his lesson is at 11.55 every day so that means we are spending the major part of the day out of the house (by the time I have dropped the babes at Mum's and then gone back to collect them, had lunch etc...) Niamh is missing out on her sleep during the day because of it and it is making for one very grumpy little girl!
I am feeling really motivated to do some sewing lately. I have been reading some fantastic blogs from my EB 'newbies sewing' group and I am inspired! I need to get the footplate of Nanna Yates' old Bernina fixed because it is playing up at the moment so I will see if Dad can have a look at it for me but in the meantime I have just 'inherited' Nanna W's old Singer from SIL Dana since she said she wasn't using it and didn't have a need for it. I am really pleased that I have this 'new' machine now because I never ended up with anything of Nan's after she passed away and for sentimental reasons if nothing else, I will cherish it! Hopefully I will get a chance over the next few days to figure out my next move and settle on a project to try.....watch this space, LOL!
I'd better go get off this computer and get some sleep now though, it is late and I had a major migraine type headache yesterday (which I am still feeling the after-effects from!) I don't want to find myself waking up with another one tomorrow!
Night all.

First Aid Course
Just a bit of a plug here for anyone that might be interested...
I am organising to run a child-specific first aid course from my house. It is something I have been meaning to get around to for a long time and I keep thinking "what if I don't and something bad happens..." so I have called a guy who runs these courses and temporarily booked one in.
It will be :
Wed 30th Aug and Wed 6th Feb from 7pm till 10pm
Cost: $60 per person (includes all notes and manuals)
it's called 'save a child' (not sure if I'm allowed to link to it?)
If anyone is interested in attending let me know! I need at least 8 people to run it so feel free to ask your friends, neighbours, family etc..

My Neevie cracks me up!
Niamh is so funny! We made some brownies this afternoon to try and placate the kids and stop the constant fighting and whinging. Well, as you can see miss N. loves to cook - if it was up to her there would be nothing actually going into the oven (although in this case we may as well not have bothered anyway as I massively undercooked them so they were a soggy gooey mess - oh well, better luck next time.) Just picture this little girl between licks of the spatula saying "mmmm chock-lit, fave-rit!" She's a girl after my own heart :)

Happy new year!
OK, so I know I am a bit slow but as my first post for the new year I had to say it!
We had such a great Christmas and New years here! It was crazy and chaotic but heaps of fun and the kids all got so spoilt! The jolly old man in the big red suit was certainly very generous to them this year!
We had a full on week over Christmas with lots of family, friends and way too much food. There was a whole lot of swimming in the pool and the kids and I made the most of Dan being on holidays. I think he actually had a hard time going back to work after all the playing we did at home. Now things are finally starting to settle down again and I am doing my best to get the kids a little bit of rest before they need to start the school year. Cody will be going into kindergarten and Lachlan will be grade one!
The babes are doing really well too. They now both have two bottom teeth and can both roll from back to front as soon as they are put onto the carpet. I need to make an appointment to go and get them weighed but they are doing great and are very healthy! They have begun eating solids too. At the moment it is just one meal a day but they seem to be tolerating it well and soon I will move to breakfast and dinner. They sleep wonderfully well - consistently doing 12 hours at night time so we really can't complain about that at all :)
I guess I had better get going and get ready to go out. I am off to the dentist this morning so wish me luck! I hadn't been to the dentist at all for 15 years and finally plucked up the courage a few weeks ago. Today I am going to get a filling and an extraction done - arrrgggh! I hate the dentist! call me crazy but I would rather the pain of childbirth any day!!!
