~Max & Lucy~

Forever loved & remembered. 

Especially today. 

Happy Birthday little ones...

Flat Stanley & friends...

One of my friends in America sent us Flat Stanley...he had a good time with us. I hope he makes it back to the USA in time for the school assignment?!

I love...

  I just love all the photos & quilts & images at this Blog - Anna Maria's. The colours just make me drool...I think I need my local library to buy her book too!!

Wardrobes

We just bought some new mirrored built ins for the kids rooms. (This picture isn't their room, but it gives you an idea!) It took about 3 hours - after they were installed - to vacuum up the mess & wipe them out with warm water & tea tree oil...I thought my nose was a tap, inhaling all the dust & fumes from glue etc...but I don't know why we didn't do this YEARS ago. It looks so much more organised & there is so much more room! It will make the rooms look bigger too!!??

I am STILL sick. Heading into week three of this bad cough. I've pulled muscles down my left side from so much coughing...D & I had a good talk last night about just putting one foot in front of the other each day - just getting through each day as best we can. It's just been so very very hard for us both to be physically unwell & there's still kids to care for & chores to be done...

Just got a bit of a "Spooks" fix though... (Monday ABC)

I'm back to bed with a book while Mr Eric watches Playschool - just like I did over 20 years ago!!

How clever!!

Reusable sandwich bags etc from the lovely MamaMade...

Cavalry went home yesterday...

This was a snap of us camping last year...feeding the cheeky ducks at Kangaroo Valley...

The lovely MIL has been here over the weekend to help all us sickies...

I had a reasoable sleep last night so feel semi-human again...I keep waking up at about 1:30am & am drawn to watch late night TV shows...

My tablets are nearly all gone...

Miss Bonnie now said her throat is sore...as does Eric...

D currently at an xray venue to get some "snaps" of Miss Bon's thumb so we can finally find out if it's broken or not. (Because of the place where they think it's broken you have to wait a while after the fall before the xray - sounds like abuse to leave her in the last for so long, but 3 Drs & a physio have said that this is what you do for this sort of break...so I'll agree with them I guess...)

So lazy & worn out & sick of being sick...what a crappy Easter holiday. David's got the camper trailer because the plan was to go camping this coming weekend...I've got 4 days to fully recover...I just don't know if that is going to happen y'know....

Anyway, back to having a cuppa & watching Yo Gabba Gabba with my son...

Facebook & Twitter...talk about time wasters...but sorta fun too...

I hate having the flu over Easter...

This is my life at the moment. Tissues, snot, endless coughing, exhaustion...sigh...

I really was looking forward to getting to church to celebrate Easter this year. Couldn't go. I was looking forward to visiting David's parents. Can't go. Looking forward to planning fun stuff with the kids. Can hardly do anything, let alone plan things for them...my last hope is to be well enough to go camping on the last weekend of the hols? Feel burnt-out & hopeless at the moment!!!

It all came on Thurs night - great. 4 days when the GPs office is closed. Finally got to see our wonderful GP yesterday. He looked in my ears. Red. He looked in my throat. "It's a mess in there!" I am on some antibiotics now. Hoping that they do some good. If they don't make me feel heaps better by tomorrow I have to go back & get tested for whooping cough! Great hey?

What a great idea!

How cool is this?

Framing vintage record albums & using them as a decoration...awesome!

I found this here...
