We don't seem to have a moment to spare these days! We are always rushing to get somewhere or get something done. This morning we got everyone up and out of the house around 7am to go watch the boys first tee ball matches of the season. It was Cody's first ever game and Lachlan's third season and they had a great time. Both teams lost unfortunately but I think they are really going to enjoy it, even if they don't win most of the time ;)
Next Saturday dancing lessons start up again for term 4 so that means that I will have to take the 5 littlest with me to dancing and then head to tee ball after that in time to catch Lachlan's game. It means that I will always miss Cody's though :( and I can't leave any of the kids with Dan because he happens to be the coach so he's a bit busy, lol!
We rushed back home from Tee ball this morning so that Dan could get stuck into the back yard. He has been working on it every spare minute he gets and it is still a looong way from finished! Today he is hiring a dingo and a turf cutter and removing about a tonne of sand and grass from the yard to make room for the softfall rubber flooring to be poured.... I can't wait till it's all done and the kids can be free to play outside! I think they are going to have a great summer with this backyard completed.
Tomorrow we have a 5th birthday party to go to! James from my mothers group turns 5 and he's having a party at his house. The kids love going there since they live on a large block and have so much space to run around.... it should be fun!
The weather has finally changed and it's so nice to step outside and feel the sunshine. This past winter was the longest coldest most miserable winter I remember in a long time and I am sure that has to do with what we have been through as well as the actual weather. I am pleased to finally be able to focus on something a little more positive.
We are heading towards the most crazy time of year. I was looking on the calendar and in a few weeks time we will be at the point where there is a birthday on every weekend till christmas! I am just about to start my christmas shopping next week and I just know this last school term is going to fly by!
It's going to be a tough first christmas without mum and Janette there, but no matter how sad we might feel the kids will still be kids and it will all still happen. I know mum would want us to carry on as usual and make it a happy family time so that is what we will try to do
