We're at the Bundy shore, bitch.

WE'RE AT THE BUNDY SHORE, BITCH!!

Well, not yet, but we will be!! So a few blogs ago i said that i would write the date in my diary for the house to go under contract and i did just that. Check it out!!

My husband doesn't believe me, he thinks i wrote it after but i can assure you that i wrote it just after saying i would in the blog. Last Friday we had an offer which we accepted and i was 'semi happy' that my chosen date was not far off, but in the end the agent had a hold up with the paperwork and the official date it went under contract and paperwork got signed was on my chosen date!! Woo. See, planning things - it just works for me!!!

So as the title suggests, we're going to Bundy!! Obviously the contract is subject to a building/pest inspection (which took place yesterday but they have 2 days where they can review the results and get out of the contract if they desire) and subject to finance being approved, which could take up to 3 weeks apparantly. When i seen the agent yesterday he said i looked nervous, i told him we would celebrate and be excited when the sold sign went up, right now im feeling a little unsure that the finance will be approved and am waiting for it to all come crashing down in a heap. 3 weeks is a long time to wait to find out if you are about to start on the new chapter .. a very, very, long wait. And then there is the possibility that they could ask for an extension to get the finance approved .. AGH, stop thinking, just stop thinking!!

In other news, my book finally arrived ..

Uhh .. i dont see the option to rotate my pic .. ?

I suggest this book to every single person with kids! It's amazing. It explains how children of all ages perceive love, there are 5 love languages and all children have a main love language :

  - #1 - Physical touch

 #2 - Words of affirmation

 #3 - Quality time

 #4 - Gifts

#5 - Acts of service

Im not very far into the book yet but i can relate my kids behaviour to it in many ways, i think i have discovered that Heaths love language is Physical touch and Roxiee's is Acts of service, although i have a lot more reading to do!! Definately a good read for anyone with kids, and even more so for kids who are showing difficult or unusual behaviour.



Words of affirmation cups!!

In the 'words of affirmation' chapter there were a few suggestions i liked which i modified and made the kids some special cups, we write little notes for the kids and put them in the cups, the idea is we read the notes to them daily and when the cup is full we will transfer them to a scrapbook. The kids love the idea (although the photo i just posted doesn't show their enthusiasm!!) and just quietly im looking forward to reading back through their scrap books with them in years to come.

Last but not least, we had a play at the park yesterday and the kids were loving it, right up until i got the camera out and they started protesting .. "But mummmmmm .. " .. Me : "C'mon, just one quick photo by the tree, please?"

.. and so they sat by the tree for my 'one quick photo' and they showed exactly how they feel about my current obsession with my camera .. *sigh*
