OUCH!

We have got so much going on at the moment! It makes a change to our usual routine but it is exhausting with so many things on the calendar!

Last night we went to see Ben Lee in concert in Kings Park - he was UNREAL!!! We had the best night and the concert was so good! Ben was really amazing and truly entertaining both while singing and between songs :) I think he's my new favorite!! We managed to get a spot right up the front near the stage so the view was awesome and I am so glad we went - I would definitely do it again.

I have spent the last week in a fair amount of pain from an injury I sustained while taking my new pram out of the boot during a routine school drop off. As I lifted the Phil & Teds sport out of my boot I allowed it to flick open and my fingers were unfortunately in the wrong position (where the pram hinges open) I swear to god I have never felt as much pain in my life! I said some really colourful words (NOT appropriate for a kindy carpark) then the tears started flowing and I couldn't stop and pull myself together. The pain was so intense I went into shock and started shaking pretty bad. Poor little Lachlan had to go off to his classroom with another mum from the carpark while I managed to drive myself off to the doctors. (I was going to go to mums first to assess the damage but pretty soon realised I needed to go straight to the doctors!) I had called Mum and Dad and asked them to meet me down at the doctors so I knew they were on their way to take care of the kids. In hindsight I shouldn't have driven with the kids in the car because by the time I got to the doctors I felt like I was about to pass out. The receptionists came out to the car and fetched the kids in and I went down to the treatment area. After Mum and Dad arrived and they had given me a shot of morphine and treated me for shock I was finally able to pull it together enough to think straight and Mum and Dad took the kids home to their house while I waited to get an x-ray. It turns out that I broke the fingertip off and crushed the bone into lots of little bits - no wonder it hurt like a b*tch!!

So, now I am dealing with a really sore finger and 5 kids while we are trying to get ready to pack for a week away! We are off to Busselton next Sunday for a week (not before Anthony & Leah's wedding on Sat!!) so I have soooo much to organise!

The kids and Dan are in the wedding party so this week will be spent getting all the last minute things together - socks, stockings, hair clip for Niamh, Niamh's dress needs to be fixed so it fits her properly, I need a haircut, wedding present needs to be organised etc.... Oh the fun!!

Aside from the crazy business, everyone is really well :) The twins are not quite crawling but not too far off. they are a lot of fun but a lot of hard work at the moment. Lachlan is settled into grade one and Cody is loving every minute of kindy. Niamh is growing up so much and she is an independent little miss - so cute though ;)

Well, I guess I should get some rest as it's getting late.
