Christmas is coming. But so's the end of the world!

Christmas is coming and I've been kindly reminded to do another blog. I can understand why I am in such high demand, I mean ..bitch, I'm fabulous!! (been DYING to say that, and given that I spend all my time with my three small children, believe it or not there hasn't really been an opportunity to let it out so thank gosh for this blog!) .. "Mum, thanks for the sandwich  .. "Bitch, I'm fabulous!" .. "Mummmmm, Roxiee is naked again and she has her bum on the table AND I don't think she wiped it properly" .. "Bitch, I'm fabulous!" .. now, surely you can see how I've not been able to use this in a conversation lately. Right?

Aside from the fact that I needed to blog again, it has also been bought to my attention that the world is ending tomorrow. It's all meant to start from midnight tonight I believe, so, given that information I don't want to spend TOO much time updating you on here, instead I'm going to do a quick update, throw a few photos in, then spend the day at the pools with my little ones. There is also a 1kg tub of frozen cocktails in my freezer, if I'm dying tonight/tomorrow, I will not die a thirsty woman.

So - where are we at?

In the past few months I've spent a lot of my spare time getting my craft on. It started as headbands for my girls, then a library bag for Heath, a mei tai for my daughter to carry her dolls, and now includes dresses, mini bags, cuddle blankies and the most recent item was a pink pair of sock protectors for my husband to give one of his work mates!! Santa is bringing me an over locker which I imagine will make things much easier. I have had lots of people ask where the headbands came from etc so I've also been making custom items for other people which has been AWESOME fun!! I've made a start on a facebook page where I can advertise the little bits n' bobs I make and people can order some custom items. I'm going to work on a few more things, with the over locker over the holidays, and then open the page up when my 2 big ones head to school in late Jan. (provided of course that the world doesn't end .. DOH!)

Speaking of craft - check out these awesomely awesome shoes!!! If you are after a pair of shoes with ANYTHING painted on them then you should look up "Courtney Mikelat" on facebook as there is nothing that she can't make happen on a pair of white canvas shoes!!!

My boy is growing up so fast, he will be returning to school as a big grade 2 boy next year. One minute I was 41 weeks pregnant, the size of 3 whales, with cankles the size of big ole oak tree's, nek minut - mother to a 6 year old! Bitch, I'm fabulous! Update on Heath, I spent some time observing him (read : spying) during a PE class and he appeared to be a little on the reserved side. I had a chat with him that night about not being 'the shy' kid, I reminded him about how much fun he has at home, how he's so cheeky and always making us laugh, and that it was okay to do all these things at school, provided he still listened to the teachers. Next PE class a week later as the children all came running out at the home time bell, I turned to the Mum I was chatting with and motioned her to look at the child running in the opposite direction, clutching at his crotch and shouting .. "HEYYY, GET A LOAD OF THIS!!" .. it was all rather hilarious until I realized it was Heath. The next day I had to pick him up early, I 'observed' him again, this time he was under his desk, with his work book and pencil case, laughing his head off. His little buddy who sits next to him just looked at me and shook his head like .. "Bitch, I'm fabulous!" .. (well, that's how I perceived his nod anyway!) .. I spoke to Heath that night and asked him if he was being a bit silly at school, his reply was .. "No, just being naughty like you told me Mum!" .. we had a few more discussions about finding a balance between not being shy, but not being a crotch thrusting crazy man either.


Roxiee - my little pocket rocket has graduated from Kinder, done a few school orientations and is all ready to start Prep in the new year. She's still as crazy as ever, but that's the way we love her. Her and Heath got in trouble for using sticks as swords the other day. 2 minutes later Heath came in with a scratch on his arm where Roxiee had hurt him with the very same stick we took of her. Gregg gave her a stern talking to .. "We don't use sticks to hurt each other, that wasn't very nice, I don't want you doing it again" etc etc .. Roxiee in her most sweet, apologetic voice .. "Okay Daddy, I won't EVER do that again. But, it is okay to kick the shit out of bullies isn't it Daddy" .. Nice! I love how kids take the tiniest part of a conversation and repeat ONLY the part where it looks like the worst parenting in the world, at the most inappropriate time! Nice nice nice! Definitely a "Bitch, I'm fabulous" kinda moment!



Anywho, it's 6.30am, i got a few things to do before the world ends.

(I didn't forget Sommer - her update is short and sweet, she's still smiling, eating, sleeping and her newest trick is rolling from her back onto her tummy, and then screaming blue murder like you have just taken her frozen cocktail glass from her!)
