Hi!

I had a great day with the kids...even with they're sniffles we headed out to the shops - we didn't make it food shopping though...I bought them new sandals each - Dylan chose bob the builder and Louis chose Diego and we got Michaels fathers day present (a poker set...) and then had lunch in the food court - we had nori rolls and both boys sat at on the big chairs at the table and had a banana buzz as well...they were sooo good! I then found a gorgoues blankie and soft doggie for Ethan...pretty much the same as Dylans but in different colours...the boys will give him the doggie as a present when he arrives and Ethan will have a present each for them! Then because I'd bought something special for everyone else I thought it was my turn and bought a new pair of sunnies...not expensive but my old ones were sooo scratched. The boys fell asleep on the way home and so I had a chance to chill out and read and then all 3 of us cooked pizzas and I bathed them (Michael is in bed with the flu) and they went crazy splashing everywhere - I had to protect myself with a towel - LOL! Was so cute to hear them giggling away though! They're now tucked up in bed so I'm definitely chilling out..the only bothersome thing is that now I have to do food shopping tomorrow instead! LOL!
Sorry for the rant...just had a really nice day with the kiddies...

Tracey - Wow at Jamie being home now! How long is he at home for? Will be so nice having him at home doing all the jobs! Hehe. Michael would honestly have no idea what it's like to have the kids day in and day out...he hasn't even had to look after them for 12 hours I don't think...
I know - I have to harden up I think...LOL! I don't want to be one of those mums that steps in all the time - it's just going to be hard to have to watch him learn those lessons though iywkim?
I'm sure your boys will be the best of buddies as well! They woke up after a nap and Dylan was saying - hello louis, and had to go over there and climb up on him and give him a big cuddle...so cute!

Nikki - Thats great Grant can see things from your perspective from the time he spends with the kids...

Hope everyone is well!

Oh and I have a strange question...I actually baked today and when it says grease and line with paper I do that and whatever it is that I cook always sticks so the paper...drives me nuts...Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm only asking because I know you guys - especially Alex and Cindy do a fair bit of baking...

Chat later!
