Whats happening in our world lately?!!
Erins Dress up day for Literacy and Numeracy week at school, She went dressed as her favourite Book Character, Cinderella.
Joss with his new hair cut Darcy and his silly face....
A few photos from our recent trip to Echuca to celebrate Arron turning 30! Our trip included staying at Echuca Caravan park and visiting places like the old port of echuca, the holden museam, paddlesteamer rides.
Well its been a long time since I have done a really good update in blog form...!!
Things are going grand at our place. We have just done some moving things around and re organised Darcy's bedroom to accomadate his brother Joss so now they are officially sharing a room. Yesterday Joss's cot was moved in and he spent his first night and slept well. He woke once but settled with a little drink of juice and a quick cuddle. Joss also went to sleep last night sporting his new hair cut!! well... FIRST hair cut actually. We shaved his head to a number 4. He is like a whole new boy without all his wispy baby hair and just cant get used to looking at him yet! You can see it here:http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/abbey_draper/?action=view¤t=100_1968.flv
He will have no hair to hide all his lumps, bumps and bruises he is forever getting. We also made way for a brand new fridge which has been a long time coming. I have no idea how our fridge is still alive to be honest (well I use the term fridge loosly as its more of an over sized bar fridge!) So nice to have a fridge with lots and lots of space!! Now just to try and fill it up!
Erin had her first school production recently. The school production was based on broadway musicals and the preps did The Lion King... Other levels did things like high school musical, sound of music, singing in the rain... It was SOOOOO cute seeing her up dancing away! She did SOOOOOO well too!! I was blown away! You can see her here: http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/abbey_draper/?action=view¤t=100_1953.flv She is a blue bird on the far left of the screen behind the tiger. SO as you can see she got into it!! Here is her second song: http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/abbey_draper/?action=view¤t=100_1955.flv
Erin has another Karate grading coming up in about 2 weeks. She still tells me she doesnt want to do it anymore, but I still make her stick to her commitment to see it out the rest of the year and she is actually really good at it too!! and it is great to see her being able to focus and listen too. Erin is going great guns with her reading at school and beginning to show some improvements with her maths too... Hard to beleive it is almost the end of the third term already!! Next term the preps are doing a 9 consecutive days of swimming lessons so that will be just great for Erin as she has had no formal lessons since before Darcy was born!
Darcy is growing up very fast. He is still madly passionate for ALL things mechanical. He is beginning to enjoy reading and listening to stories a lot more these days which is great. He really enjoys coming to do reading with Erins grade and reading all the books he remembers Erin has home, amaxing how much they remember.... He has a few favourties he reads about FJ (a car) and read one from front to back recently (purely from memory I imagine at this age) He is looking forward to Kinder next year and I think he is well and truly ready now. I am feeling more confident in the fact that in another 4 months he is going to be very comfortable being left at kinder alone and able to voice any concerns he has, whereas 4 months ago, I would not have said the same thing. He has started drawing people with arms and legs and eyes and mouth. He also draws spiders and monsters. We are working on him recognising his name... so far, no luck...
Joss is almost 2 I cant believe it! I think 9 weeks or so and he will be 2. He is so grown up these days, even more so with his new hair cut. He is stringing 2 and 3 words together and says hundreds of words. He is still being breastfed around 2-3 times a day, usually being nursed off to sleep. I am sure he will wean around the 2 year age... He loves Dora the explora and reading all sorts of books. His favourite are picture books with real life photos to flip through and point to all the things he knows and likes. (just like his sister was like!) Not much else to report as he is doing all the normal things kids at this age do. He is obsessed with keys and has his own set he carries around all day long including eating, drinking, sleeping, car trips, nappy changes, he still clutches to it.
Things with Arron and I are pretty good! We are looking for a short get away together riding to down to Philip Island and staying at a mates holiday house the weekend the GP is on. It will be the longest I have ever riden before, I am nervous but looking forward to it. I am hoping I might be able to sqeeze in my P plate license test before then so I dont head down with that god awful L plate slapped on the back for added attention to the chick who cant ride properly!! LMAO! We got out for a while a few weeks ago to go gold class opening day of the Simpsons movie. I thought it was bloody hilarious...
I have also been able to lose 10Kg recently with lots of hard work at the gym and eating well. I lost a complete dress size and feeling much fitter and healthier. I am just in the process of re-motivating myself to lose the last 10Kg's. Just maybe then I will be done with worrying about my weight?!! just MAYBE!! LOL
Thats about all I can think of for now!!!
