Sounds like you are going to have a full on weekend G! Have fun!

Yes, I did get over the bus trip - just so tired! Glad I don't drink anymore because the girls who were drinking were a little worse for wear the next day apparently LOL.

I had netball training on Tuesday night and DH wasn't working so the kids were just here with him and I gets home at 8.30 to A running flat out around the house pretending he was riding a motor bike and when I came in he tried to tell me why he was doing it but because he was so excited and hyper I had no idea what he was on about - turns out that while DH was searching youtube for videos on how to train sheepdogs, he came across the fecking CRAZY FROG video and thought it would be hilarious to show the kids and OF COURSE A thinks it is FANTASTIC!!! I was so not impressed LOL I hated that song the first time it came out let alone being asked to play it 10 times a day. When I tell him no he can't watch it he gets this sad look on his face and says in a little voice 'but I love it so much' - how can I say no to that?

Gracie, that sounds like an awesome weekend! The boys are going to have a fantastic time! Would love to do something like that.

Trill, I am not sure what the crazy frog is but A likes to watch the Meow Mix cat food commercial (from 1982) over and over. She sings all the meows. I stupidly showed W that there are clips of body things on there so now he is wanting to watch clips of vocal cords/ear drums/muscles etc.

DH entered W in the local easter hunt (not for eggs) so now we are going out probably tomorrow and Saturday evening to try to shoot a possum or rabbit. I think I am driving the truck while DH and the kids spotlight off the deck. All I can think of is the Clampetts LOL. Then on Sunday there is the weigh in and prize giving but they have kids rides and games (possum throwing???) as well so it should be fun.
Reading that back we sound like yokels!!

ooh i hope that everyone has a lovely long weekend and for those of you that have the easter thang happening hope that the easter hunts (of all varieties haha arte!) go off and the kids have a ball!

G: 200 eggs?! that is some serious egg hunting lol.

MP: hats off my dear...hosting such a big event at your place is so cool; i just dont have the stamina these days...

Oz: dont get lost!! stay here with us

Sherie: oohhaaa must remember never to show her the crazy frog song (that is the one where he is riding a motorbike right?!). atm leila is content with richard scarry on youtube and i plan to keep it that way for as long as possibe lol.

MD: oh wow. that must be a spinner having H so big now! gosh, it really does happen! they grow up and become big people

AFM: well i went to the city to check out the myer mid season sale...TBH it wasnt all that good...DJs also were doing 30% off everything so i guess that also made it pale in comparison lol. then i hoofed it to target and bought up in their 50% off second item deal. bought up on those simple long sleeve tops with the small ruching and a pair of jeggings for leila.

I've seen those tops Cass. They are nice this season. and yes it is the one where he is on the motor bike.

Arte it's good that your DH plans to do those things with W - despite all the tension over his sleep it's good that he is seeing past all that and bonding with him.

JM I forgot to say I totally sympathise with the wee incident - I have to wear a bloody pad while I play netball because sometimes I *may* have a little leak. Damn crappy pelvic floor!

Trill, DH and W have a great relationship during the day. It is only at night that things get strained. And I understand why. It is such hard going when it is 3am, W has been screaming and yelling for an hour and it is the third time that night that he has done it. I haven't really heard of any other kids having night tantrums but it is absolutely infuriating! He hasn't been too bad lately, I copped one the other night but mostly he is having quick resettles.

But the daytime tantrums have returned. I am sick of it. Every time I tell him to do something he acts like it is a democracy and gives me "I will do it after xyx" or "oh, but..." or "I'm too tired". Then when I tell him to do it now he starts crying and screaming. This morning has been particularly bad and my throat hurts from yelling at him. I feel terrible for A who has to watch the whole thing whilst being ignored.

we have been there alot recently too Arte i dont know, maybe there is some sort of hormone surge happening at this age because it seems almost like a crazy out of control hormone induced irrationality that i believed was only attributed to 13 year olds lol. i think the term "threenager" is so apt now that i have a three year old haha.

L has been insane in trying to set her own processes. and thus has been driving me insane as it is with every.little.thing. from who gets to clip her in the carseat, to which cup (that one lasted an hour of screaming). it's a bit insane atm, and i am just trying my darndest to ride it out lol. we also have over the last 3 nights been getting some middle of the night antics. i am not sure if it is moon related or cold related (or a bit of both). but i swear that i was ready to pour the frikking glass of water (for the hundreth time that night) over her :hides:. i never thought that the relaxing calmbirth breathing exercises i learnt would come in handy post birth

[Artechim]

LOL, W does the car seat clip thing too. Drives me mental.
Only one more week and kindy will be back. I am sure most of it is boredom, he needs a lot more stimulation than is provided here.
