Hi!

We've just been chilling out here which is nice...boys have enjoyed me being a bit more calm and relaxed as well...Michael is home for the weekend which is a first for a looonnngg time so that should be good -hopefully he'll get the garage organised for packing...He's had a bad week at work though and is so grumpy that I think I'll pretty much stay out of his way anyway...he's so short and snappy sometimes I just have to walk away because I don't feel like I can handle it and I don't want to have silly arguments over stupid things of no importance...Anyway...

Oh so funny today - dylan was watching Diego and when they ask the questions he says "no" to everything..so cute! He has no idea what it means I'm sure but he just fills in the gaps with "no"....then again thats his favourite word at the moment thats for sure! He's such a terror - so cheeky! But he always makes me laugh with his little antics...

Cindy - Boxes would be great! Thanks! My dad dropped over a whole heaps last night but I'm sure Michael will use all those up just on the garage...
Yeah...I spoke to my sister and she doesn't thing they do small amounts of time either - more 1/2 to full days...I'm just going to have to drop everything next term - which won't hurt anyway as we're expecting Ethan and then just reevaluate next year...the only thing that will be a problem is gymbaroo as you can't have the other kids with you...Louis will be in 3yo kinder though so if I'm lucky maybe a time will coincide...swimming I drag them all along too and if he does the sports group thing you just watch them anyway so not a big deal that I have the boys with me...Anyway...I'm sure it will all work out!

Rachael - Seems strange that your getting a bfn and no af - maybe it's just all the stress of the house stuff...
Good luck with it all - hope you get a good offer over the weekend! I wouldn't sign up someone subject to sale of their house...it's just too unpredicable...
Bugger you can't make it next week!

Tracey - Wow - I'm so excited for you applying to uni - I hope you get in!!! I'll be nervous when the time comes too but I'm hoping that being full fee paying I should get in! LOL! They usually like people that pay but you never know...Have fun at the open days!
Glad you got some chill out time yesterday...
In regards to feeds etc I'm probably no help either...my boys have always been constant feeders and cat nappers so I was probably still feeding 5 maybe even 6 x a day still at that age...I don't think my boys have ever gone 5h between feeds/solids except for overnight - LOL!

Alex - the only reason they don't overlap more often is because most days Louis doesn't sleep at all! LOL! Then today Dylan was asleep before lunch until nearly 2pm and then I had to drive my mum somewhere and Louis fell asleep in the car so from about 2.30ish and then I woke him at 4.30pm! So messed up...LOL!
Ooh I'm so jealous your going on holiday! I started working out what it would cost for us to go to qld for a week next year and I came up with like $2500 just for flights, car hire and acc...Crazy!! We don't usually holiday so it sounds like so much money! I was thinking maybe it would be cheaper to drive but with fuel the way it is I'm not so sure...Hmmm don't know what to do really...I really want to go to the gold coast with the kids...If we drove we could drive straight up and then come back down via the nsw coast or something...There's nowhere really else that I'd want to go right now but by the time we add on spending money/food etc we'll be up near $4000!! just for a week! Crazy!
How are you guys doing it?

Nikki - how are you? How's the house stuff coming along? Are the kids well?

Can't wait to catch up next week! Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
