Fun days

Yes they do exist!!! We had a fantastic fun family day at Adventure World.

Was a very busy day and a stressful start to the day, but after we over came all of the drama's of packing up and heading out for the day we were off.

Fun was only 20mins away, we were off to a day of unlimited rides, waterslides and swimming. Cost for the day was $125 but well worth it. This one of the first big outings to a place like that where the children have gone..now we are over the phase of nappies and day sleeps we were away.

Great day was had plenty of rides heaps of swims, came home completely shattered. Yes we will do it again. Life is so short but full of heaps of fun.

The simple things

Life is crazy here on a daily basis.. Work takes over or the daily things! But why? I'm sure this wasn't my plan. Days, months and years fly past! Then things happen and we are reminded to take stock of things and re- think. I'm so lucky to have my lovely family and friends to fill my day, even if you all really annoy me at times! The bed time thing is still crazy! The fridge is clean thanks to the lovely babysitter who found time last night to do that while I was working later than planned. Have had a lovely quiet day with fairly quiet kids and we have all just been chilling, nice glass of wine and curry for dinner. Big day at adventure world planned for tomorrow, on what would of been my Dad's birthday! Wish he was coming! These are the days to remember and hold tight even when there are bad ones! Life will always be crazy with 2 kids, but I would not want it any other way!!!

Bed time..why it isn't working!!

Well ....last nights plan was a bit wayward. Dinner was fine but bed was all wrong again!!!! Why oh why has this gone so crazy...got them up at 6.20am as they had to be at daycare by 7am so I could make it to work on time. They were in bed by 8.40pm but DS was the first to sleep well after 10pm and at 6yrs old I feel this is way too late. DD was far worse not asleep till 11.25pm ...so why? I am at a loss we went for a 1hr ride/walk, read stories...but no!!! Hoping tonight will be a better night DD has had an ear infection this doesn't help!!! Now I am open to ideas...maybe not tonight as I am exhausted even if they aren't!!

1st Day

Life has been pretty crazy at the moment kids are on holidays and day to day things just aren't normal...feel like life is out of control. So have decided today we begin again with normal routines and eating proper food and behaving better. So wish me luck as we try to start again before the school term starts in just over 2weeks. DD will be starting kindy which will be great for her but not sure how I will cope, last baby off to school!!!
Tonight I am going to make a beef caserole for dinner followed by homemade yogurt and fresh fruit and children to bed by 8pm...fingers crossed.
