Everything's amazing, nobody's happy

I received this in an email forward a few days ago, and the more I listen to this guy, the more he cracks me up, and I realise just how blessed we are to be living during this time. After watching this I am going to "try" not to complain about having to "fly" half way across the world with kids again.

Grandma and Papa Van have come to visit us on the "big plane"

We are LOVIN' having them here!

The life of a stay-at-home-mum

I have so many phone calls and things that I need to do with moving half way across the world. Deldon often asks these days did you get a chance to do abcd...........?

This article explained to me why I often feel so drained of energy and can't ever seem to find the time to get the phone calls or research done. I'm always too scared to start phoning people to ask for quotes etc because at any second the kids may need my immediate attention, and by the time you've sat on hold for 10 minutes just waiting to get the info you can guarantee they'll have needed me for something. At least sitting here writing this blog I can walk away at any second with out the need to explain myself, or have to start from scratch again when the kids demand my undivided attention - like right now, Samantha is recording me with her camera, shouting louder and louder "What are you doing" until I answer her :)

Ice Skating

Samantha has been watching "Dancing on Ice" so decided she really needed to try it out. We took the girls on Saturday, it was interesting to say the least. Sophie just wanted to be held the whole time, but Samantha really enjoyed being dragged around the ice by her mum and dad. She did not believe in actually putting any weight on her skates, so it was quiet the workout for us. I think next time well leave Sophie with Bryce at Granny's, then the 2 of us can share her deadweight as we drag her around.

2 months old and sleeping through the night....Way to go Bryce!

Just love these kiddies

Ouch!

After trying to reassure Samantha that her 2 pre-school boosters would only be little ouchies, would be gone the next day,and would stop her getting the "big sick" ..........this is what we woke up to this morning, along with nausea and a temperature, GREAT! Yesterday it was just the inner circle and really red, but it's gone to a whole new level. After a trip to the doctors we're back home with a anithistimine for the swelling and antibiotics as a precaution.
