Everythings good here..its been raining heaps though. We went to one of those games place thingies where u can buy games for xbox etc so we bought a couple of games with one of those steering wheel things...big hit here..They dont play alot on it so nice to get some use out of it in the wet weather! Other than that, we have some friends coming over this arvo for a bbq. Easy peasy here for now...im sure I will be as frazzled as anything next week.
Wow what a day (not thats it even close to being over) ! Had to take DS to work which is 25kms away.Decided to take rest of tribe to the park for some lunch and a play, and omg it is so windy here today!!! We didn't stay at that park too long. Ended up going and grabbing a cuppa from Maccas and then went to another park which was not on a hill. That was a bit better, they all had a ball, even my 6mth old had a play on the horse, he thought it was very funny
My youngest DS has what they think is mild floppy baby syndrome so to see him holding on and having a good time was the highlight of my day
Now its time to clean bedrooms and do the folding
That has to be the worst part about a big family i reckon, there is always some sort of washing to do, wash it, hang it get it in fold it iron it (only if absolutely needed) and then put it away, and then what do you know its all back again and waiting Oh well so it shall be.
good luck with the hols jesabell, i love them, as its less stressfull in the mornings.
Chat later

Hi everyone
I would love to join this thread - I have 4 lil darlins aged 10, 8, 5 and 3. Some days are nightmarish but everyday is so worth it. I was reading about all you mums wanting more babies and I would have to agree it would be great to have another bub (too bad for me that my DH has had the snip!) but something I have learnt is that the wanting for more babies NEVER goes away! I guess in a way that my DH having the vasectomy made my decision really easy because I think I would have kept going and never known when to stop. So somedays I'm glad that I cant have anymore children because it gives me the opportunity to spend time with my kids that I probably wouldn't be able to do if I had a newborn and a toddler at home - but then there are days when I tell DH that vasectomy reversals can be quite successful! lol .So in the end ladies I think we could keep having babies as long as our body lets us.........and it still wont be enough!!
Life is sweet right now - it is so satisfying watching my children grow up and develop personalities, making friends, trying new sports,learning to do their own hair! - I sometimes wonder if I would notice all these things if there were a baby crying to be fed or a toddler drawing on my walls!!!
I hope to get to know most of you ladies over time. Try to remember that after these school holidays there is 10 whole weeks of school!!
Why is it whenever you send kids in to clean their rooms they always end up even messier isn't it also amazing how you can go from having a great day to feeling like ..... in a matter of minutes. Sorry ladies just venting
Hi Bridget,
Welcome to BB our kids are a similar age, lol. Yes I have to agree. It will never leave me, that urge to have more and actually if I could be guaranteed I'd have another boy, I would go back immediately. It would just make things very even and neat, lol. I love being pregnant, even though I'm completely bedridden for a couple of months with M/S, I love birth and babies but when is enough freally enough. Life is hectic as you all know and appreciate. I find it difficult to spread myself any thinner then I'm already spread and couldn't imagine that I'd have time for another baby. Anyway, my DH works overseas(half way through yippeeee) and I really don't have a support network to help me raise my beautiful babies. 5 is plenty, I really shouldn't be so greedy, lol.
Lol oh yeah hey Bridget there's 11 weeks this term, hun, lol.
Hi Plenty good to see you.
Yay for the 11 weeks. I have to agree all my tribe do is fight. And yes it is amazing how quickly a perfectly great day can change in an instant. Already early in the morning and they have already started with each other. Ohhhh when will it eeennnnnnddddd.
Hope all is well with you lovely ladies and welcome to all you newbies.
Well the hols nearly over now. That means back to being organised in the mornings
csab i don't think it ever does not even when they leave home!!!! But i guess we wouldn't have it any other way.
I love mine to bits but they can be very trying at times.
WOW my eldest is home on time and has even brought in the firewood with out asking mind you this usually means he will be in here asking for something shortly

yeah i don't think they realise how predictable they are! I was right though, he wanted a sleep over at a mates house! One less for me for the night, i just wish they could do the right thing all the time not just when they want something! Oh well thats kids i suppose!
Sooo predicatable arent they...mine normally start helping out when they want to a recharge for their mobiles lol!
Bridget, Sammy is the result of a vas reversal, so very successful figures out there!!!
Weve just spent the arvo down the beach in the cold and wind collecting shells, seaweed etc. All the kids are thoroughly warn out now though which is great!
Mine are all together for the first time in a week and a half! The babies are really feeling it with the noise.
Since the last two have arrived home I've asked them to keep their voices down no less than 10 times! You'd think they'd get it, wouldn't you?
Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome.
I have been tough on my 2 older kids these holidays, they have more time at home so I figured they have more time to help me!! I think they realise that the more they help me to get things done the more chance we have of getting out of the house to do some fun stuff. Does anyone else find school holidays expensive?? We have done the movies, ice skating, bought books to read and been out to lunch. I'm sure school fees(and mine go to private school) are cheaper than what I spend on holiday activities!
Jesabell - what a beautiful name.
Coolabahdee-the photo of your kids are gorgeous, I really dont know how well I would cope if my husband had to go away for long periods. You must be one organised mum!!
Jo - I have heard some great success stories regarding vas reversals - glad to hear your sammy is one of them.
