Saturday

Finally had the troublesome tooth out last Monday, still taking pain killers, slowly improving though.  Having some peace and quiet before the kids arrive.  Taking Ella and Lila to Maddy's birthday party at Hungry Jacks (will be hot and very noisy).  Gary has to take John to the backstage for the concert.  then we all have to be there by about 6.30ish.  Tomorrow morning at 9.30am ella has to be taken for a dress rehearsal for her Hip Hop concert on Tues night.  Curtis and Annie are going to a 30th tonight.

John is twelve

It is Johns birthday today, 12.  Nearly a teenager.  Tomorrow he is coming to stay so that I can take hinm to see Harry Potter.  And Ryan was 4 months yesterday.

toothache

I have had toothache for over 2 weeks, been to the dentist, he did a patch up it will either settle down and I need to have a couple of crowns, eek expensive, or an extraction, he said that it would get worse before it got better, how true.  I am living on pain killers and they are not killing it totally.  I am so sick of feeling like this and now i have a cold as well.  pfft.

Maddy wanted to stay last night but yesterday she had earache so we took her to the doctor turns out she has tonsillitis and because the antibiotics seem to have helped already she is staying tonight.  She isn't going to school tomorrow.

Ben and his family are down, saw them yesterday and went out for breakfast with them and Bels parents this morning.  Then Ella rang to ask if she could come over for an hour while John was at acrobats.

The photo of Ella and me is a couple of years old, and I love it, she is a delightful child.

Lila has her birthday

Lila has been waiting for her birthday to arrive for months, and now it has and she is now 4.  What can i say about her, she is smart, funny (as in a sense of humour), can be very naughty and cantankerous, and cuddly and affectionate, she can write her name, is good at drawing, colouring in and painting, has a good imagination, loves role playing games as in 'lets play Bratz I am Jade and you are Cloe', charades, dancing.

Halloween

It was the first time that Georgina and I had participated in Halloween, it was fun, we will be doing it again.  I think Aussies are starting to embrace the concept at last.
