Arte, man you've had a rough time of it I hope that A doesn't get any sicker and that you can somehow manage to get through till Tuesday. Mighty beans are these little plastic capsule looking things - they really look just like a gigantic panadol capsule LOL. And they have character faces on them. Plus they are weighted so they move around.

G, A loves them, but I think they are a huge PITA because he puts the few that we have in his pockets and then they fall out so it's a major drama trying to find them all for him. The ones we have belong to the other kids and I wont be buying new ones because I can't quite work out whats the point of them LOL.

MD, my girls love their littlest petshop stuff too. I confiscated all the barbie stuff ages ago but let them keep that stuff as it seems to make less mess through the house.

Speaking of birthdays I have no idea what to get A. I was tempted to get him a leapster, but not I'm not sure again. They really don't need any more toys so I'm at a total loss. Holidays started here on Friday too and I'm so glad! I need a sleep in LOL. And the kids were at the point where they were just tired all the time so they were ready for the break too. We are all tired today - had football yesterday so we were out of the house just after 8am, then we went back to the RSL club for dinner (the club is the major footy sponsor so we all go back there after) and it was 1030 by the time we got home! I was knackered. I'm just about to make all the kids go and have a sleep because they have been at each other all day and I'm still tired even though they all slept till just after 8am.
