Well we have been really busy.

Jason has a new job as a Taxi Driver making great money and learning heaps. You know I can actually now trust him to know the direction of things in our local area amazing. He is doing so well and I am so proud of him. He actually has been talking to a guy about a part time job on his two days off as a cook so we will see how that goes. I am so proud of him and totally respect how he handles himself with this job.  Honestly it is very full on long hours but he is handling it so well.

James is now 5yrs. I shouldn’t say trial but very full on. Totally testing boundaries and making me feel like a bad parent 90% of the time lately but I seem to be making head way with him. It is just hard when I am trying to do a million things and he is pushing the boundaries. But he is learning loads and loads of stuff at this point and the more I challenge him with school work he seems to calm down. Boredom is probably part of the issue. But he is growing and loves swimming and eating.

Letise is now 4 yrs and is doing really well. She is very cute with Sasha just loves her actually. Sam and her fight a bit and James and her fight a lot. But they all play so well together. She loves her barbies and her dolls and is totally cute as she tells her stories with her dolls and ponies. A real live girl.

Sam is now 2yrs and wakes at 3.30am to say hi and have a cuddle. I dont really know how to break that cycle but I am now not letting him fall asleep with me in the bed. I am giving him a cuddle and sending him on his way. Works some mornings and not others. He is so full of energy I mean he can run all day and than some. so by 5am he has woken up all the kids unfortunately but the last few mornings I have been all over him to stay in bed and be queit and it seems to be working. We will see. He has a great sense of humor.

Sasha is now 9 months and so damn cute. She is crawling everywhere and standing up on furniture and walking along it so not too long before she will be walking. I am amazed at how quick she is growing. Very determined little thing to get her own way. Smiles and laughs at just about anything and she is beautiful. Loves her dad heaps and says dad dad all the time I have had a couple of mums but she smiles when I ask her to say it and says dad. Cheeky.

The unborn bubs I am now 6 months along of 24.5 weeks. Is going really well. I totally forget I am pregnant half the time because bubs just does it thing and this pregnancy I haven’t had to go on the high risk register as I have no pains and it has been straight forward. I am so happy. The 20 weeks scan was fantastic no issues baby was livly and constantly moving and kicking. My placenta is accross the front so I cant actually feel a lot of kicks but bubs seems to be getting stronger because I feeling more.

Me last but not least. I am doing well. Things seem to be working out well. I am trying to get more organized and not get so overwhelmed. I do well I think but at times I think I am failing.  I suppose parenting is working things out slowly but surly.

Anyway thanks to all those that are commenting I love it. Sorry been so long I will get some more stuff on here soon.

Well my mum was here for a total of 12 days and I can honestly say I dont really want her to go. She has done everything from nappies to dishes. She is a great cook and even a better nanna. I am truly a very blessed girl to have such a hands on mum who has truly made the birth of my fourth child such an easy affair.

She is leaving in the morning to go on the long drive home to Queensland, I know she is truly happy to be going home to dad. Thanks mum for being such a great mum something to truly live up to.

So now I left with all the great tasks of washing and cleaning and child raising you will probably hear from me a lot now with my whine of the day or should that be wine.lol It should be fun to see how I go. I reckon the first week will be the most full on than I should breeze through….. (let me have my fantasy)

Don’t be surprise to hear of me divorcing my husband every few days. Honestly there is no one that I love more in this world or that ticks me off more than him. Being married is hard work but I have heard it is quiet rewarding. I don’t know where you go to collect the reward but if you know please tell me.

Well my baby girl Sasha is 1 week old now and I can honestly say she is getting rounder and cuter everyday. James Letise and Samuel are so gentle with her although Samuels idea of love is to lay on top of her , the thing is he weights 10 times her weight, so we have to watch him. Samuel has learnt to kiss and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

I truly am a blessed tired mumma. I look forward to proving my husband wrong and keeping this blog up-to-date with my story.

God bless

My kids are 3 & 4 years old, they have been watching more and more tv lately, up to 2 hours a day sometimes. I don’t know if that is too much or not. I make sure they sit back from the tv to protect their eyes. I am concerned about the amount of tv because I don’t want them to end up being lazy and just sit back all day. They do play outside but not as much as they should I think. Is there like a percentage of time to be watching tv for toddlers? I do think that it is important our kids at least see a little tv as it can be stimulating to their senses and it educates them in many areas of life. I think the most important thing is content, I don’t feel so bad when they are watching nature shows or educational programs.
