Being a mum to boys!

What a joy! Yesterday, I was cleaning the pool and it's very yukky due to having no pump at the moment so I thought I'll clean it and add some chlorine and at least it's getting swirled around in there and hope to get a pump this weekend. So anyway, I notice there's a lovely toad having a grand old time in the pool - until the boys saw it! Cripes I've not laughed so hard in awhile! Kyle had a cardboard cyclinder and the pair of them were following it around the edge of the pool - them on the outside, the toad swimming and Kyle's prodding it - the thing's almost dead after a few laps of the pool of being pushed under water I don't know how many times - all the while Joel is in absolute hysterics (sp?) which is what had me laughing the most. And the thought came to me what they'll be like with toads as teenagers and got me giggling all over again! Oh to be a mum to boys is never dull!
So this morning I get up and Kyle woke up first (very unusual as he's like his mum - likes to sleep in AND doesn't talk much for quite awhile) and he says to me the bullies are being very nice to me now mum so I don't have to worry about them anymore, in fact I don't think I can call them bullies anymore, I'll have to call them (think time) nice boys. Then he went on about some other stuff I can't put here at the moment but let me tell you - very inciteful for a 6 yo!

This lo I did awhile ago but haven't placed it anywhere cause I was worried bout the naughty bits which are covered in any case with rubons! But I used a limetart kit (JAN) I think and the whole background is stamped with paint and painted a bit more - had a great time doing this lo and it was inspired by Karen Pedwell's work (love her stuff!).
I have managed to a couple of nicnacs over the last week but need to get the camera onto it - so will have a chat to it tomorrow avo - time permitting!
Other than that being back at work 5 days a week has been very tiring but I'm enjoying it and getting to work the hours I want is an added bonus. Getting into a better routine this week but the rain we supposed to be getting might slow me down a bit (that old washing pile just grows and multiplies!).
Have a great week :)

Ok I know so I do this once a wk

If ya lucky, lol! Oh well, what can I say! not much time spending on the computer of late! All's good though. Kyle is having his very first sleep over at a friends place and it's the first time his little mate has had someone stay and they've been best friends since beginning of last year - they just hit it off and have everything in common! Pleasure to have his little mate come visit too cause they just go off and play and ya don't hear boo!
Touch wood, Joel has been sleeping through every night since my last post - OMG!!!! Finally after 3½ years it looks like we've hit pay dirt lol! He still wets the bed every 2nd night or so atm but with what's been happing, that ain't surprising at all! The fact that he's sleeping through is enough to make me one happy mumma! lol!
With all the yuk things that have been happening in my life over the last 12 or so months it's nice to focus on the great things, like my boys, which is what I'm doing cause the other doesn't bear thinking about at times and just too hard to handle.
So today I re-coated my new front door and put my house number on it, an extra lock and then the drill went flat! Just my luck, I wanted to put up some shelves too lol! Was borrowed from my Dad cause my drill has gone missin' - how unusual!
Hi to all my recent visitors too, hopefully we can all catch up next month! If I'm free for the night I'll be there!

Exciting news!

I totally forgot about Kyle's loose tooth! It happened just over a week ago and has been the MAIN convo around here atm lol! But on the weekend he got a 2nd loose tooth so now he has two bottom 'wobbelly tooths' as he puts it - ya just got hear him so wobbelly it's too funny!
Well things are all set for next week, woohoo! I can't wait! silly really, in 3 months I'll be saying why did I want to go back lol! Oh well, time will tell and the money is the best part!
Here's a lo I did ages ago but needed to share something! Of David and Dee's wedding - this layout done for my album and now I need to start and finish their album by the end of this month since they got married Sept last year! It'll be my 1st anniversary gift (paper) to them!
Hope you are all having a great day!

So much is happening!

My life is just such a roller coaster at the moment! All things good happening this week - yippee! Got a new front door and new lock so have been left in peace - just me, my boys and our dog yelling dancing and lots of laughing this week which has been just fantastic!
Have spent a small fortune on scrapping stuff and I think it's cause I've been catching up on all these mags that have been piling up lol! Was super exciting to see SM arrive with the first lo featuring my boys in it and needless to say they think it's pretty darn good too! Kyle's smile was priceless! He's like wow mum how did you do that! lol too cute!
Joel has had fever all week coming and going so no day care for him but he's slept through the last 2 nights and so have I which is firsts all around for years! I can't remember the last time I slept through the night nor him so yeeha, fingers crossed for 3 nights in a row tonight (touching wood lol).
Am going off to my scrap room very soon to work on a lo I've been fiddling with for days and days but only for like 5 secs here and there - driving me insane - I've been wanting to scrap but busy doing so many other things.
I went to a councillor about Kyle the other day and she wants to see me after his probs are sorted! Made me see clearly about some issues I've never dealt with so this will be a good time, all things looking up and looking ahead, get over those problems and deal with them once and for all will be great for all of us and I'm hoping to get some confidence which I'm seriously lacking in some areas!
I've had a fantastic week, even with Joel being sick, I've won a lot with the boys and we have had loads of laughs and fun. Took some piccies on Sun and Mon and journalled as we went - once I get those developed it should make for some very fun layouts!
And that's my big plan now to journal heaps more!
Okay so have a great weekend everyone - wish I was coming on Sat night - I'll be there in spirit! :)
