Bath - how is the house without DD? Must be awfully quiet and I bet the boys are missing her.

Maya - so the Holeproof factory was good? I go past it alot and should pop in. Need to stock up on singlets/spencers for the girls. I am so happy that you got some well deserved "you" time. Even if it took 3 years for you to want it. I think there comes a time in all our lives when we need this..even a short break is enough. Make sure you make more time for yourself, refresh and recharge! Both my kids have been in childcare since they were 14 mths old and you know what - they have never caught gastro or anything else severe. Chelsea very rarely had a day off due to illness and neither has Marley. Both have had the odd cold here and there but nothing serious. Yet you here of some kids who are sick constantly who never go to childcare. I think both my kids have a great immune system (like me!), which I am thankful for every day!! Oscar will probably be one of those kids too. And if the childcare centre is nice and clean and follows strict hygiene procedures, then the spread of anything should be minimised. He and Marley are from the same pod! I seem to have more devil than angel lately lol!! I love sunbleached, curly hair! It really suits him, can't imagine him with a "proper" haircut.

Tali - I think Facebook has taken over our lives lol!!!! I spend so much time on there. Addicted to a new game, Word Twist and of course Lexulous. We are getting the pool surfaced with a new product called Quartzon which is super smooth like really fine sand in Ice Blue (really pale blue with flecks of darker blue and grey). It will be a salt water pool, with a chlorinator. Our final tree in the backyard was chopped down last week, mainly due to bees living in it. Now we don't have to worry about the leaves dropping in and we only have the flax plants on one side which don't drop leaves. There are so many things to think about when putting in a pool. And yes, definitely solar heated!!! I think thats a must for Melb weather and hopefully we get an extra couple of months use. We also have a gas heated spa at the end of the pool so that will be used in winter. I am getting so excited about it starting. You are so amazing being able to move so often and just take it in your stride. I am happy that you have found somewhere to settle, you must be relieved to know where you are going. I don't know much about Mackay, is it near the beach? What a bonus being able to see DH more and not having to spend money on flights...#4 might come sooner than you think now Marley does not shut up ALL DAY! She even talks in her sleep. You should be super proud of being a mum to a 9 and 6 year old - you look amazing!! How did Zayden go at the drs? Hope all good news for him.

Busy week so far. Helping out at the mothers day stall at school on Friday then us mums are treating ourselves to lunch. We purchased all the gifts this year for the stall so we are guaranteed to get something nice this year. All the gifts are really lovely and a bit improvement on last year.

What's everyones plans for mothers day? We don't do much as I don't have a mum and DH's family are pretty low key with everything. Will probably just be me, DH and the kids but not sure if he has anything planned.

Take care everyone and hugs to you all.
