I think I love the school holidays now as a mum more than I ever did as a kid at school! I think that must be because it is 2 weeks where I don't have to stress and rush and yell at everyone every morning..."hurry up... get dressed....eat your breakfast...brush your teeth....have you brushed your teeth yet?...where are your shoes?...hurry up, we are going to be late....Lachlan, you need socks too!....have you packed your lunch yet?.....I don't know where your library bag is, where did you have it last?......" you get the picture! Lots of fun ;) I love not HAVING to be out the door at 8.30am with 5 kids (soon to be 6!) all dressed, fed, ready for the day.
We spent the day around the house today just doing some things that needed to be done (washing, tidying etc..) and Dan got onto a job he has been meaning to get to for a while - the shadecloth from the patio to the fence line to create a privacy screen. It's looking pretty good! Next weekend he is going to try and get to do the cafe blinds around the pool and hopefully I will be able to spend the weekend next week sorting the front room and shuffling the kids bedrooms around to make room for our new little bubba.
I have my 'big' scan booked for next Friday and I can't wait! I am really nervous for some reason and just want to get it over with. I know it's irrational but I kind of feel like we are pushing our luck asking for 6 happy and healthy babies. I know we went through a lot with Max and Blake but they turned out just fine (thank god) and I just feel really grateful for what we have and hope our good luck continues for our last little one.
Last but not least I will leave you with some photos of the YUMMO cookies we cooked today :) the kids helped me out and we had a great time. It's a massive batch so hopefully it will last at least a few days (being school holidays and the fact that the kids are always 'starving' all day long, I don't really think they will last long!)
